Protagonist is hobbit Bilbo Baggins. In the first part of the trilogy Bilbo has gone on a dangerous  journey towards Lonely mountain with wizard Gandalf Grey and 13 dwarfs. Company´s leader is dwarf Thorin Oakenshield. In lonely mountain dragon Smaug has taken over  dwarfs’ home. Auguries has told it’s time to reclaim the mountain back to dwarfs. Company´s enemies are orcs leaded by Azog.


Movie starts where the first movie ended. Azog’s orcs chase dwarfs but then Bilbo notices that a giant bear is also chasing them. He is leather changer Beorn and gives company lodging.
In same time Dol Guldur’s witch gives Azog new mission and Azog’s son Bolg goes after dwarfs.

Review
Hobbit is very great fantasy movie. Actors really know what they're doing and work great. There happens a lot in movie and it’s full of action. Some  could think there’s even too much fight but there is also quiet scenes. The story is well made. The animation of the dragon is incredible. Watching this movie you know right away that it has been made with lot of potential.  We give stars this movie 4,7 out of 5 stars.
