~Plot~
     An "unexpected" journey of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) is about to begin. The company, which consists of thirteen dwarves and the wizard Gandalf Grey (Ian McKellen), beg Bilbo to join in the company as a burglar to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. The Kingdom was conquered by Smaug, the dragon, long time ago. Bilbo couldn't believe what is going on and kept denying at first though after all he decided to join in the company. Their first destination is the Lonely Mountain. On their way to the mountain, the company faces some difficulties. Trolls, Stone Giants, Oacs, Gollum.......Many danger falls onto the company while Bilbo and following members of the company help each other, build strong bond, and keep moving their legs to their first destination, the Lonely Mountain.

~My Perspective~
     My school has recently just finished, and I am finally settled down here in the movie theater for what I have been waiting; the Hobbit. Well, I gave this rate just because there are second series coming up next year. The way the movie ended was definitely to connect with the second series. Since my expectation went up from the first series, I am really looking forward to see the greater scale and story in the next series. Speaking of the first series, the story was very simple but cool, and graphic was amazing. I wish  I could live in Shire, seriously. Some of the characters, places, and weapons were very familiar from the Lord of the Ring series, and I think it's one of the things you can enjoy in this movie! I'm pretty sure the Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit fans didn't miss this movie, but for those who haven't seen it yet, you should go tomorrow!!! Highly recommended!
