    My first thought in watching The Hobbit was: Do we really need this movie? It was my last thought, too.

    In this fitfully engaging, but often patience-straining preamble to Hobbit adventures to come, there is one transporting 10 minutes of screen time. It happens when Bilbo meets the freakish, ring-obsessed creature Gollum.

    It's a bloated, shockingly tedious trudge that manages to look both overproduced and unforgivably cheesy.
