Directed by Peter Jackson
There's been a considerable amount of skepticism surrounding The Hobbit movies. And rightfully so... following up the masterpiece of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, there are pretty high expectations to meet. Can Jackson successfully bring us back to Middle Earth again? And why is he shooting it in HFR 3D on digital cameras? Why is a 300 page book being made into 3 films?
Summary: The film, based on the beloved novel The Hobbit written by J.R.R. Tolkien, takes place 60 years prior to The Lord of the Rings trilogy, following Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) as the main character. Bilbo, a part of a community of homely cheery people called hobbits, lives a quiet life in his home, until a wizard and clan of dwarves visit his home and pique his curiosity when they invite him to join them in an adventure to take back their home from an evil dragon.
