Movie: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

They probably should have done these before they made the Lord of the Rings, but I guess I can't complain. I liked the movie, not a lot, but I didn't think it was terrible and didn't hate it.

So Bilbo is jumping out of a quiet, calm life in the Shire and of being a hobbit, to being an adventurer to the city under the mountain with a bunch of dwarves and one very persuasive wizard.

They are going to the city under the mountain to reclaim the dwarves land from the dragon Smaug.

It's not going to be an easy journey. They find that orcs are after them not long after their journey begins, but before this trouble starts, they have to deal with golems. They are about to be cooked when Gandalf cracks a stone and makes the sun appear, the golems are now stone themselves.

Now they are being chased by orcs, no where is safe. While trying to get a good night sleep they find themselves in the goblin king's domain. Bilbo manages to get away, and this is where his adventure really begins.

Down into a cave, that's where Bilbo finds himself. He's not alone. A very strange wailing and creature is down here too, but before he finds him, he finds a ring... a gold ring which he puts in his pocket.

Golem is angry, and well comes off a little hungry. I think he would eat just about anything... including Bilbo. They strike a deal. A game of riddles, the one who gets it wrong, loses. It ends when Bilbo is feeling his pocket and murmurs "what have I got in my pocket." Golem thinks this is a real test, and can't figure it out. Bilbo runs away and the ring slips on his finger. When it does, he's invisible; he escapes the cave through this.

The dwarves escape with the help of Gandalf. They can't find Bilbo, and some are worried, and some are not, but then Bilbo appears all safe and sound.

The Goblin King isn't happy that dwarves escaped from him, so he sends orcs (goblins) after them. They get trapped by them and their wargs. They climb up a tree and Gandalf calls for the eagles.

Thorin (the lead dwarf) goes down the tree to fight the lead orc and is getting beat up pretty bad, when Bilbo steps in and then the eagles come.

This is where this movie ends.
