December 2012: Best Release

Our final Best Release of 2012 is revealed- and it's the Hobbit's turn to shine...
Here we are, then, at the end of 2012. Over the course of the past eleven months, we've seen infinite numbers of absolutely fantastic entertainment releases horde into our stores and cinemas, and in this respect December was no different. Between the season finale of Merlin, Doctor Who's Christmas Special The Snowmen, Life Of Pi and Arrow, there were plentiful memorable new instalments, but in the end I've gone with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Peter Jackson's new first adaptation of the classic Tolkien novel is a beautiful piece of filmmaking, filled with standout performances and incredible direction. The core narrative of this first instalment focuses on Bilbo's recruitment into a company of dwarves and their initial journeys through the outlying lands of Hobbiton and the Misty Mountains, and it does an admirable job of keeping things very interesting throughout despite barely covering a third of the novel. Martin Freeman is by far the best actor of the bunch, but it's with Andy Serkis as Gollum that he shines most in the highlight scene of the flick. We're left, then, with a stunning addition to the ranks of cinema- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is by far one of the best films of 2012, and we can't wait to see what Peter Jackson has waiting for us next December and in July 2014!
