Yet, despite all of this …An Unexpected Journey's story still feels stretched way beyond breaking point and could have done with a good hour or so trimmed off the running time. Which means splitting it into three movies and padding this first part out with unnecessary cameos (Frodo! Dracula! Agent Smith!) and adding in brand new subplots.

Or, at least, that's the idea behind J.R.R. Set 60 years prior to the events of The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit tells the story of reluctant adventurer Bilbo Baggins, who joins the wizard Gandalf and a group of dwarves on a quest to reclaim their former home and the treasure it contains from the dragon Smaug. Peter Jackson's latest Tolkien trilogy gets off to a sluggish start on Blu-ray
