Screenplay was written by Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and Guillermo Del Toro. They done three movies An Unexpected journey,The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of the five armies. Films tell you what happend sixty years before Lord of the rings.
Filming started 2011 and ended 2013 in New Zealand where Jackson filmed Lord of the rings trilogy.
First movie An Unexpected journey began with a dinner of 13 dwarves one wizard Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins. That was company of Thorin Oakenshield. Names of the other were Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Ori, Nori , Dori, Oin , Gloin, Fili and Kili who were twins. Their purpose were to cather a company and reclaim their homeland of Erebor which is also called as a lonely mountain. Erebor was captured by dragon Smaug. The Most important actors of a company was Martin freeman (Bilbo) Ian Mckellen (Gandalf) and Richard Armitage (Thorin).
In the first part of trilogy the company gets themselves to a many serious problems. They got chased by orc group right after they came out from troll hole, but the company managed to escape because other wizard Radagast the brown helped them. Company ran to hidden valley of Rivendell witch inhabitants are elves whose leader are Elrond. When they Reached the Rivendell Elrond was not there ,but they found out that he and his soldiers just killed all the orcs that were hunting Thorin and his people. Elronds role in the movie is pretty small but important ,because he were one of few people who could read Thorins map that Gandalf had given to him. When they left from Elronds house the company went to the misty mountains where they got caught by goblins because there were great thunder storm because of that they had to find place to stay over night ,but they accidentally went sleep to a goblins ”frontdoor”.Goblins took them to Goblin chief. Goblin chief recognizes Thorin and send word to the Azog who is old enemy of Thorin. Thorin cut Azogs hand in ancient battle of moria. When orcs decided to kill the company Gandalf came from nowhere and saved their lives. While ago Bilbo lost the company and ended up to a gollums gave. Gollum is strange creature and had lived in a mountains long time. Bilbo and Gollum sayd riddles to each other. Bilbo won the competition by asking from Gollum ”what do i have in my pocket” and Gollum gets mad he thinks that its unfair question. Gollumd had promised to show Bilbo way out from mountains but he betrayed him , because he had lost his ring which was founded by Bilbo earlier before they had met. Ring was powerful ring that made its carrier invisible. Bilbo put it in his finger and walked out from there. At the same time other were fought their way out from the misty mountains. The last scene of the movie was that Azog found Thorin but they climped to the trees their enemies tried to force the trees down and they succeed but at the last second eagles attacked and saved the company. I like this first movie pretty much. Screenplay follows the book pretty well and there is most important main events. In my opinion the succeeded with special effects especially stone giants in misty mountains and trolls turning to stone. New Zealand is a great place to film this movies because it is so showy country. Second part of the trilogy ”Desolation of Smaug” Started when company were escaping the seeking orcs but they noticed an other problem who is not enemy or friend. He is called Beorn acted by Swedish actor Mikael Persbrandt who has came famous from Swedish Beck -series and his less wanted drug problem. He is skin changer which means, that sometimes he is a great strong man and sometimes huge black bear. After all company managed to escape to Beorns house even though he tried to catch them. when he is bear he is wild but the human form is friendly. Next they ahead their way to the Mirkwood where the wood elves live. Beorn gave them a ponies because if they would have to go on foot orcs could easily catch them. When the company reached the Mirkwood Gandalf left them. Gandalf was asked to go to high fells of Rhudaur because the necromancer (Benedict Cumberpatch) seemed to something else what he pretended to be. At Same time Bilbo and his fellows tried to walk through to forrest but giants spider captured them but missfortunately elves captured them when they managed to escape from spiders. Elf who captured them was Legolas Greenleaf whose actor is Orlando bloom who is also knew from acting in lord of the rings and Pirates of the Caribbean. He took them to his city where elvish king lives. Dwarves eneded up to prison ,but Bilbo succeed to get them free because he did not get caught. They escaped by going down to river but it almost failed because or ambushed them. the elves came and slayed down many orcs and orcs decided to escape. Dwarves hired ferryman to smuggle them to the lake town where they could get weapons and other supplies. They spend couples days there and then they went to the mountain. When they managed to go in the mountain first Bilbo tried to find the Arkenstone without success. His only success was that he woke up the dragon and barely managed to stay alive. They tried to kill a Dragon but they failed it and dragon came up with an idea to destroy lake town and that is where the movie ends. In my opinion this second part is better than first. Both movies where edited very good. I recommend these movies to everyone.
