Peter Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved novel, The Hobbit launched a trilogy visually breathtaking in scope. This is the story of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who is brought into a quest to reclaim their homeland from a fearsome dragon, Smaug, by a group of dwarves and the wizard Gandalf, played by Ian McKellen. Though expanded with additional material from Tolkien's writings, the adaptation received mixed reviews about stretching a single book into three films.
