The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

Very nice film. Obviously the fact that it is The Hobbit (really love the book) makes the story a big factor for me though, so I can't say how it would have been for someone who hasn't read it. There was a bit more action that I expected, but it was relatively interesting (compared to the LOTR's battles), especially with all the 3D effects. All-in-all I enjoyed it.

I really miss NZ though, the scenery made me a bit homesick

It suffered from ill-fitting CGI and poor characterization in regards to some villains.

I think I see what you mean here, but personally I didn't find it too bad. I also think one of the reasons they decided on CGI with most villains was because it made 3D shots easier (which wasn't a factor in LOTR).
