The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

The movie, called The Hobbit, is a fantasy film based on the book with the same name written by the author JRR Tolkien.

In the film, a dwarf kingdom of Erebor in the lonely mountain was taken by an evil dragon called Smaug.

The main character is a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. One day Gandalf the Grey, a wizard, and thirteen dwarfs led by Thorin Oakenshield visit him.

They want his help to reclaim their homeland Erebor.

He agrees to help them and their journey takes them into the wild through dangerous lands of Middle Earth where they fight against Trolls, Goblins and Orcs. The Orcs are led by a huge pale Orc called Azog.

Bilbo also meets a creature called Gollum and there he finds Gollum's magical ring.

Bilbo and his companions are chased by the orcs when they meet a huge bear. The bear, called Beorn, is a skin-changer who can take the form of a man or a bear. Beorn helps Bilbo and company by lending his horses.

Azog travels to a ruin called Dol Guldur, where he is given command of the Orc armies by an evil creature named the Necromancer. Azog tells his son Bolg to hunt down the dwarfs.

Bilbo and the company reaches a forest called Mirkwood where they loose their way and are caught by giant spiders.

Bilbo, with the help of the magical ring, help set the dwarfs free.

The Wood Elves of Mirkwood arrives and imprison the dwarfs. Bilbo help the dwarfs escape from the Elves.

The company then meets a man named Bard who smuggles them into a lake town called Esgaroth.

In Esgaroth the company are assisted by its people and they continue their journey to the lonely mountain.

There Bilbo discover the hidden entrance and is sent into the mountain to retrieve the Arkenstone, a great jewel, only to awaken Smaug.

Bilbo and the dwarfs are now being hunted by Smaug and they try to kill him by drowning him in liquid gold. Smaug survives and escape the mountain, determined to destroy the lake town and its people for helping the dwarves.



I think it's a really good movie because it's happens a lot and its also a good story and I like fantasy.
