Basically the movie is about a hobbit who decides to go on an adventure with a wizard and a bunch of dwarves. They are going on this adventure to fight a dragon that took over the dwarves mountain/kingdom, so that they can regain it. Normally hobbits would rather stay in their homes in the ground and live a calm food filled life, except for Bilbo Baggins. Although in all fairness he sort of got tricked into going by the wise wizard Gandalf.
They go through a series of battles on the way, including three very hungry trolls and a group of Wargs. All of which would like to kill the adventurers. At one point in time they come really close to death but find refuge in the homes of the Elves in Rivendell. At first its really awkward because the elves and the dwarves don’t exactly have a good relationship but Gandalf keeps everyone under control.
After their quick stay at the elvish fortress, they make their way along the mountains where they encounter more trouble. This time from thousands of goblins, one in particular was named Gollum. He is a schizophrenic goblin that has been exiled to the dark depths of the mountain. Gollum becomes important after Bilbo finds and steals his precious ring. The ring has the ability to make the wearer become invisible, which becomes very useful to Bilbo later in the movie.
The movie is supposed to be the first
part of a set of three so it didn’t exactly finish with the group
successfully winning back the mountain, but over all it was a good
movie. The only thing I didn’t like about it was the fact that it
pretty much was a replay of the Lord of the Rings movies. I don’t
think its fair that movie companies feel the need to milk every book
that they turn into a movie for everything that they can. We pretty
much paid money to watch a movie we had already seen just in 3D, so I
wouldn't necessarily give my recommendation for it. Instead I would
wait to rent it and watch it at home.
