The Hobbit

The Hobbit

So because/since I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy I recently watched the Hobbit. It's a film about Bilbo Baggins, the uncle of Frodo Baggins Frodo Baggins's uncle, and it tells a story which took place many years before Frodo got the ring. I have to admit, since I watched the first Lord of the Ring film I have had some bad feelings about Bilbo, the fat, grey and old hobbit. There is a scene where Bilbo steals the ring from Gollum and his fingers are just so huge and ugly. Bah. But all those negative feelings about him died very intensely faded away almost completely  with this new film.
First I will try to give a quick overview over the plot. The young Bilbo lives a peaceful but not very interesting life in (the) Shire, the home of the hobbits. Until the day Gandalf The Grey appears and asks him to go on an adventure. Bilbo objects. But the very same day thirteen Drawes  (?)arrive at Hobbiton and explain their situation. They want to take back their home at the Lonely Mountain, which had been taken by Smaug many years before/ago. Gandalf wants Bilbo to be the burglar, the guy who sneaks behind the enemy lines to open the gate of the Lonely Mountain. After some discussion and the group leaving Hobbiton Bilbo finally decides to help them. They travel through Middle Earth and go through some incidents with orcs and elfs as  they have to cross the Misty Mountains. The whole group, expect Gandalf, gets caught by the golbin king deep into the mountain (?). Bilbo manages to escape him but falls even deeper into a place which is known as Gollum's Cave...
My favorite scene is the one in the cave, where Bilbo and Gollum try to make an agreement. Also I love every scene with distant shots over the beautiful landscape of New Zealand. The thing I will probably never understand about the universe of Middle Earth are the eagles from Gandalf. It would be so much easier if they would help to get out of outside of desperate situations. But I guess it would also be more boring.
So, overall, Peter Jackson did an awesome job translating this children book into not one but three movies. At least he did a good job on the first one but I'm pretty sure the other two will be awesome as well. Can't wait for the next movie!
I'm really sad The Hobbit got no Oscar but that doesn't mean anything to the quality and awesomness awesomeness of the movie. Thanks for reading my stuff. :)

My favourite part was definitely the riddles between Gollum and Bilbo, and seeing the brown wizard! Such a great movie!
