About this movie

This Extended adventure follows Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim Erebor with the help of Gandalf the Grey and 13 Dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins, Orcs and deadly Wargs, as well as a mysterious and sinister figure known only as the Necromancer. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain, first they must escape the Goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum. Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of ingenuity and courage, he also gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities...A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Ratings and reviews

The film itself is 4.5 stars..strangely enough I went to watch this however it's not in 4K I thought Google update all their videos from HD to 4k? I don't want to buy it again, it will double my library.. This is also for Lord of the Rings extended editions too

...and its cheaper to buy on Blu-Ray than buy a digital standard def copy.

Why is it that I can rent the second installment but not this one?
