The Hobbit- Bilbo Baggins' Unexpected Journey

Another Hobbit Adventure?
Bilbo Baggins-he is the hobbit of this movie.

A three parter, this installment sets out the plot for the next two parts that will hit the screens in 2013 and 2014.

A city of gold has been taken over by a dragon which loved gold called Smaug.  Most dwarfs perished in the fire and the rest like Prince Thorin had to leave to find jobs far away, homeless as the dragon is very protective of its new found home and bounty.

More yarning?
Just like the first parter of Lord of the rings, you again have the fellowship and the quest.

Excitement-wise there is the usual unexpected 'monsters' that we meet such as man-eating trolls, boulder throwing giants, evil-cave dwelling goblins forest-dwelling forest spiders, heroic eagles, the orcs, wargs and also the Necromacer.

Again, we are brought to Rivendale to meet up with Lord Elrond and Lady Galadriel who will ultimately save the fellowship of the dwarfs as the journey back to reclaim their homeland,  Lonely Mountain.

Riddling with Bilbo
I just cannot place Gollum's ring in this movie as I thought it had to do with the seven rings and the destruction of all such rings where one reigns supreme.

This is apparently a different ring that Gollum found.

Coincidence?

A Peter Jackson effort, The Hobbit is a  worthy movie to watch,though.
