On his 111th birthday, the hobbit Bilbo Baggins decides to
write down the full story of the adventure he had 60 years prior for his nephew
Frodo.
Long before Bilbo's involvement, the Dwarf Thrór becomes
King of the Lonely Mountain and brings an era of prosperity to his kin until
the arrival of Smaug the dragon. Smaug destroys the nearby town of Dale before
driving the Dwarves out of the mountain and taking their hoard of gold. Thrór's
grandson, Thorin, sees King Thranduil and his Wood-elves on a nearby hillside
and is dismayed when they take their leave rather than aid his people,
resulting in Thorin's everlasting hatred of Elves.
The 50-year-old Bilbo is tricked by the wizard Gandalf the
Grey into hosting a party for Thorin and his company of Dwarves: Balin, Dwalin,
Fíli, Kíli, Dori, Nori, Ori, Óin, Glóin, Bifur, Bofur and Bombur. Gandalf's aim
is to recruit Bilbo as the Dwarves' "burglar" to help them steal
their treasure back from Smaug. Bilbo reluctantly joins the company on their
journey to the Lonely Mountain. Traveling onward, the company gets captured by
Trolls. Bilbo stalls them from eating the company until dawn, when Gandalf
exposes the Trolls to sunlight, turning them to stone. They search the Trolls'
cave and find treasure and Elven blades. Thorin and Gandalf each take an
Elf-made blade—Orcrist and Glamdring, respectively—with the latter finding an
Elven shortsword, which he gives to Bilbo.

I had to look away many times as the creatures were too
gory/ ugly for my liking! Thankfully was watching this at home so I could just go to the kitchen or upstairs and just listen to the conversation LOL! Overall nice scenery but not my cup of tea. So my rating could be a little biased here. If you enjoyed LOTR, then for sure you will like this, unlike me *winks*
Rating: 6/10
