In a hole in the ground, lived a hobbit....
What is with [everyone] saying bad things about this movie? It's not flawless by a long shot, but its for children, J.R.R. Tolkien WROTE The Hobbit for his children and I don't see why this movie shouldn't be for children either. Some Adults even like it.Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit that doesn't like to be on adventures ("adventures makes one late for dinner") but he's going to be on a adventure anyway.John Houston makes an excellent Gandalf, who is a wizard that goes on the adventure with 13 dwarves and 1 hoobit to save treausure from the dragon Smaug. During his adventures, Bilbo finds a ring that makes him invisible. He keeps the ring and puts it on his Mantle back at his home.This is a prequel to the far more darker "Lord of the Rings"
