The highly anticipated movie The
Hobbit is finally making it's debut on Friday, December 14th. This prelude to the Lord of the Rings trilogy
is sure to be a great watch even if you are not familiar with the previous films. Peter Jackson is once again
directing one of J.R.R. Tolkien's action packed fantasies. The three previous
films directed by Jackson won a total of 17 Oscars and The Hobbit is projected
to be one of the best films of the year.
The Hobbit is based on Tolkien's
1937 fantasy novel which follows the adventure of a Hobbit known as Bilbo Baggins as he travels with his Dwarf friend's to reclaim their gold from the evil dragon Smaug. On
his journey, Bilbo, his 12 rowdy dwarf friends, and their Wizard companion
Gandalf must face trolls, goblins, giants, and many more terrifying mythical
creatures that inhabit the dangerous world of Middle Earth. Even the fan favorite
creature Gollum from Lord of the Rings makes a short yet vital appearance. Other connections to characters from the Lord of the Rings are seen throughout the movie and book. This
thrilling tale is sure to keep you entertained during it's first installment.
That’s right; the single book is
being made into three parts. This decision might not bode well for the series because
the Hobbit is a single relatively short book compared to the 1137 page Lord of
the Rings trilogy. Fans are not sure how director Peter Jackson will find
enough content from the book to incorporate into three two and a half hour
movies without changing the story line to fit his taste. We will just have to
wait and see if the movie drags on too much or if there is too much discrepancy
between the book and the motion picture. Whether this will be good for the series or
not, Lord of the Rings fans will be sure to see all three installments of The Hobbit.
