A man named Bilbo Baggins went on an adventure with Thorin Oakenshield and his company of dwarves as well as a wizard named Gandalf. This story comes before The Lord of The Rings, so I would recommend reading this before that. Bilbo and company go to a place called the Lonely Mountain and they work together to try to get rid of the Dragon that lives in that mountain called Smaug. It is a very dangerous journey and Smaug lays asleep in a pile of treasure which originally belonged to Thorin’s grandfather Thrór. The most precious item out of the whole treasure is called Arkenstone. Bilbo’s nickname is The Thief and Thorin makes a deal with him. He says if he can go into the Lonely Mountain and steal the Arkenstone itself, he will give him a third of the treasure. Bilbo agrees, and their adventure to the Desolation of Smaug begins. - @redninam of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library The Hobbit series has fallen prey to the new trend of splitting up one book into multiple movies. As such the movies tend to drag on, and this one is no different. I know that it would have been hard to include all of the detail that made the Hobbit what it was, but three movies was too much. This movie is filled with many flashy scenes that try to capture, or regain your attention, but that is very hard to do if your audience has already fallen asleep. As part of the Lord of the Rings series many people are obligated to go and see this movie, because it is part of something that they love, and that is probably the only thing that made this movie any money. Overall I could have done without this entire movie and only split the book into two movies, if you split it up at all. 1 out of 5 stars. - @sweaterz of the Teen Review Board of the Hamilton Public Library
