William Troll: You what?
Bilbo Baggins: Yes, he's got worms in his... tubes.

Bilbo Baggins: In-in fact, they all have. They're infested with parasites, it's a terrible business, I wouldn't risk it, I really wouldn't.
Oin: Parasites? Did he say parasites?
Kili: Yeah, we don't have parasites. You have parasites!

Gollum (crawling away from Bilbo, who's pointing Sting at him): "It's got an elfish blade, but it's not an elfs... Not an elfs, no... What is it, precious?!? WHAT IS IT?!?" Bilbo Baggins: "My name... is Bilbo Baggins." Gollum: "...Bagginses? ...What is a 'Bagginses', precious?"
Great Goblin (singing): "Bones will be shattered, necks will be wrung! You'll be beaten and battered, from racks you'll be hung! You will die down here, and never be found... down in the deep of Goblin Town!"
Gandalf (gazing upon the horizon): "Erebor... The Lonely Mountain... the last of the great dwarf kingdoms of Middle Earth..." Thorin Oakenshield: "...Our home..." Balin: "A raven! The birds are returning to the mountain!" Gandalf: "That, my dear boy, is a thrush!" Thorin Oakenshield: "Well, we'll take it as a sign. A good omen." Bilbo Baggins: "You're right. I do believe the worst is behind us." (Camera follows the thrush to The Lonely Mountain, where it noisily pecks at a nut... stirring... Smaug...)
Gandalf (to Trolls):"The Dawn take you all!" Trolls:"Who's that?" "No idea." "Can we eat him too?" (Gandalf strikes rock and the light of dawn turns them to stone)
Notices
Add NoticesFrightening or Intense Scenes: Not as bad as the LOTR, surprisingly, but the orcs are still kind of scary for younger children. Keep in mind it is rated PG-13!
Frightening or Intense Scenes: Battle scenes between the Dwarf party and Orcs and trolls.
Frightening or Intense Scenes: Its sortta intense but nothing compared to LOTR

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" was a good movie. It's filled with funny scenes and dialogues just like movies nowadays. The movie was filled with mostly CGI, which I found it disappointing the first time I watched it because from watching all of The Lord of the Rings movies to watching The Hobbit, this movie has more CGI in it. But now I understand as to why CGI is used so often in movies nowadays and I am not upset with the decision.
If you are expecting this trilogy be in line with Peter Jackson's Lord of The Rings, you will be disappointed. The Hobbit doesn't feel like it takes place within the same world as LOTR, heavily relying on CG and other special affects. Peter Jackson seemingly tried to appeal to a younger audience with the humor and bloodless fight scenes. However, the beautiful scenery and beloved characters remain.
The book is better! The movie added unnecessary things:(, and took out important parts. I recommend reading the book first.
Alas, this movie is an obscenity.
Peter Jackson, having crafted magnificent videos
of each book of the LOTR trilogy,
true to both the spirit and words of Tolkien’s monumental text,
chose to treat this prequel as mere buffoonish cartoon,
much like Disney’s animated versions of classic fairy tales.
Such a sad waste of this superb cast,
and a despicable bait-and-switch cheat to the viewers.
Far better to listen to the audiobook version by Rob Inglis
(or the British edition, read by Stephen Fry).
Excellent film not as monumental as LOTR Trilogy but still good fun fantasy and advendture ~ 420
It's a good movie, but I'm glad I read the books first. The story line got a little messed up, like some stuff that happened in the book wasn't in the movie and vice versa. And how do you make 3 movies out of 1 book? Anyway, I still think that the book is better
Martin Freeman(the office,sherlock) plays the lead role.Great movie
Prefered this series to "The Lord Of The Rings". Cleared up a lot of questions TLOTR left innmy mind.
One of my favourite adventure movies of all time
