• Available on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video It may come as a shock to some fans to see this as the lowest-rated of the Hobbit movies, but a lot of critics simply weren't impressed with An Unexpected Journey when comparing it to the triumphant success of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. The film is a lot more family-friendly than any of the Lord of the Rings movies with songs and crude jokes being staples. There also isn't quite as much action in it as other films, with Bilbo j...

• Available on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video Only just edging out the first Hobbit movie, The Battle of The Five Armies is the climax of Bilbo's adventure, bringing things to an end for his story and leading onto the beginnings of Frodo's journey as the ring-bearer in the LotR movies. It's the Hobbit movie with the most action as there is, as the title would suggest, a major battle at the end as all the plot threads, heroes, and villains converge at Erebor. However, the different characters...

• Available on Amazon Prime Video The best Hobbit movie, according to Metacritic, is The Desolation of Smaug which has the most satisfying balance between action and character development in the Hobbit movies as the main bulk of the adventure from the original book plays out. The build-up to Smaug causing terror and havoc was well done, with the scenes between the dragon and Bilbo Baggins, in particular, being very strong. The film also introduced a new character, the elf Tauriel, as well as...

For many fans, this movie is their favorite, which showcases the strength of the trilogy, with this chapter of the story really upping the adventure aspects of the franchise. With the group all split up at the end of the first movie, this film has lots...

• Available on HBO Max The original Middle Earth movie, that catapulted Peter Jackson from a respected cult director to being one of the biggest names in filmmaking, was The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. This film had huge pressure on its shoulders to deliver in an engaging manner as world-building and character development were its primary jobs, establishing the high stakes of the story as well as the long history of the One Ring. The movie does an amazing job at making each...

• Available on HBO Max and Amazon Prime Video There's a reason that The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King cleaned up at the Oscars. It is not only the biggest film from the franchise but one of the best movies of all time according to film fans voting on IMDb. It has a little–to a lot–of everything that audiences crave, with amazing action scenes, brilliant dialogue, and some really emotional goodbye scenes. The film manages to scale everything up to make the final battles feel more i...
Rated 5/5 Stars • 08/03/24. While the first two movies in the Hobbit trilogy were good, this one is rather tedious. The battle goes on and on, and a lot of the CGI enhancements and...
