About this movie

Academy Award® winner Peter Jackson continues his Middle-earth adventure following Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) who's swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. In the company of thirteen dwarves and the wizard Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Bilbo enters the Lonely Mountain in possession of Gollum's "precious" ring and his keen blade, Sting. With an all-star cast and the effects wizardry of Jackson's award-winning Weta Workshop, Tolkien's epic story comes to life as never before imagined.

The first and second movies of the hobbit was good but it almost has no connection with the book it was the same but the book described it differently and didn't introduce characters like Tauriel and Legoles but did in the movie so it's very weird

I really wanted to like this movie. I watched it with my kids. I share their critique, its Peter Jacksons story, not JRR Tolkien's.

I found this film had a surprisingly better storyline when compared to the first of the Hobbit movies. Love the part where Bilbo climbs above the trees and is met by butterflies.
