Movie Review: ****The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

This movie is the prequel to Lord of the Rings.  It has a couple of the old characters from Lord of the Rings including Ian McKellen and Gandalf and Cate Blanchett as the elf Galadriel.  It also has Bilbo Baggins, but a younger version played by Martin Freeman.  Some how the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, becomes part of a group of Gandalf and twelve dwarves intent on recapturing their native town, which has been inhabited by a dragon for the past 200 years, along with the riches of the dwarves. 
Baggins in brought along by Gandalf as the burgler of the group, to get into tight spots, even though he has no experience as such.  This movie does not include confrontation with the dragon, as it is split into two parts.  It does have classic scenes of the trolls, as well as terrible fights between our party and the goblins.  The trolls capture our group of travelers, except for Gandalf, by threatening to kill Bilbo.  They are in the process of cooking a few of the trolls by slow roasting, when they are encouraged to argue by Baggins about which dwarf would be the best tasting and which spices to use.  Then suddenly, Gandalf moves a rock out of the way of the sun, the sun shines on the Trolls, turning them to stone.  There is a battle between stone men along their route which makes it very treacherous, then they are assaulted by trolls on wolves, and take refuge in an elf kingdom.
They leave and travel through a mountain, confronting the trolls again, while Bilbo is separated and has his famous confrontation with Gollum, which is a confrontation which changes the life of our Hobbit friend.
My major complaint is that with the riddle confrontation between Gollum and Bilbo, it is hard to understand the questions posed by Gollum with his accent.  It was hard enough with this section reading the questions as presented by J.R.R. Tolkien, and this just makes it even harder.
