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.

Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit enjoying his quiet life, is swept into an epic quest by Gandalf the Grey and thirteen dwarves who seek to reclaim their mountain home from Smaug, the dragon.

Excellent...Amazing the amount of work that goes into a production like this. The extended edition does just the same as the LOTR version and takes you behind the scenes, about 8+ hours worth of material, to help guide you through the journey. Can't wait for the next extended edition… though it will probably be this time next year. :).DalenPendragonScore: 5/5

Boring, long, and full of the inexplicableI enjoyed parts of this movie, but it was unfortunately bloated, full of things that didn't need to be there, and a lot of very strange drug references. With the Lord of the Rings, Jackson had the horrid decision of how to cram all that material down into just three movies. With the Hobbit, he MADE the horrible decision to shove in whatever he could to recreate that box office trilogy magic. The movie suffers for it. That being said, if you don't mind two+ hours of sitting, watching a film, this is at least mostly entertaining, if mindless..SWBIKScore: 3/5

A very touching storyOne of my all-time favorite movies! It's like reading the book, with some slight differences in the story. I've owned the original movie for sometime now. And as long as it is, I've watched it several times. Really like the extra footage in this release! Can't wait for the next one!.BsdjunkieScore: 5/5

Marred by moments of LOW “humor”; Correct Library Icons?A common and contemptible phenomenon — largely as within comparatively recent cinema — involves decisions to (not quite seamlessly, we can safely say) stitch a few preschool “laughs” into what might have been all glimmer, yielding only to sparkle. “Biology-Affirming” does not quite translate as “Life-Affirming”. And no, a story of warfare (which thus does not quite limit itself to sugar and stardust and unicorns) will not tend to forbid an element of, say, grit and fire . . . however, I refer most pointedly here to the ludicrously unnecessary, hence intrusive, practice of attempting to brand something as a Family Film — how lovely — by daubing it with something misguidedly deemed Humor Such As Will Be, By Gum, Plumb Good Fun Fer Th’ Whole Goshderned Kit-’N’-Kaboodle Of Any Passel O’ Young Uns Wantin’ T’ See It . . . and this is often what we get from people who, throughout the rest of such a film, truly do demonstrate Genuine Brilliance. I mean that: incredible skills; many smart decisions on how best to use those skills; terrific overall results . . . but then, added in, Them There Bits O’ Bathos. I am far from being the first to arrive at the next observation . . . Tolkien seems to have intended for halflings — their warmly and appealingly back-to-nature-never-did-abandon-it ways, their enjoyment of tobacco, ale, great food, and frequent humor — to make these stories all the more widely accessible; so, too, for some similar traits in Gandalf and others; well and good; it works! The casting and acting for Gandalf, Bilbo, and Friends? Sublime. The treatment of Bilbo’s pity for Gollum is no less than celestial; such respect for kindness is crucial to Tolkien Books AND Films. Meanwhile, so far as I am concerned, such Very Low “humor” as doth besiege and hinder many, many otherwise fine films . . . aye, this pestilential scourge ’pon much as be else wrought with dignity and majesty . . . is neither Tolkien nor, in any era, wisdom. If an entire film is intentionally or unintentionally inane, fine . . . let That Kind Of Film attract and indeed entertain That Audience. Live and let live. That all said . . . At Last! . . . IF these films — AS Trilogy, in the Theatrical Version, hence certainly in their Extended Version — were going to enlarge so ambitiously upon the novel from 1937, this expansion was rather well done, it seems to me. There IS a LOT of battle, battle, battle (clearly not Tolkien’s raison d’être). The present story, far the lesser one (or component of one) as versus The Lord of the Rings, is nonetheless filmed with some reasonably equivalent outcome; hence four stars; Thank You!.Another Beatles ListenerScore: 4/5

You’ve had this on BUY ONLY WAY TOO LONG!!!!I LOVE this movie. Movie is 5 star quality…but hate the wait…WELL over a year now that’s it’s buy only. See Title…My 1 star rating is due to iTunes making us wait to rent. Some people don’t want to buy movies…I don’t care to own..MJC74Score: 1/5

Great but....A great movie it is, but I feel that this film is too short. I really wish the sequel is out by December. Other then that, fantastic!.AKA EPICScore: 5/5

Oh, God, it needs to be “extended”?I’m of the opinion that the movie was on the long side to begin with — I’m either going to wait for a rental that will be impossible to fit into a 24-hour window, or borrow the disc from a friend…this is one of those times when the movie studios could allow you to “upgrade” your digital purchase if you already bought it on iTunes like I did....SieglingScore: 2/5

AppendicesThere are a few extra scenes in this but the real gold is in the appendices. There are hours of extras from behind the scenes footage of how they shot each scene, to character profiles and in-depth information about the artwork, technology, music and actors that came together in The Hobbit. Interviews with prosthetics, stunties, make-up, visual effects, etc. as well as the actors and filmmakers were fascinating and quite often very funny. This was most definitely worth it..Met1236Score: 5/5

MrLook, if you don't already "own" a copy of the hobbit then this, the extended edition, is a good choice. If you already have a copy of the hobbit don't bother with he extended edition. not much extra. 'cept some naked dwarfs. gross..Mostly average MikeScore: 4/5

"Wah wah, its not LOTR"No, it’s not. DON’T watch if you’re cynical blowhard who can’t appreciate a movie on it’s own merits. The extended edition is the definitive one, if you can appreciate a little extra comic relief between the epic storytelling..One_SevenScore: 5/5

Cliffhangers WAY overdone!Tolkiens story is well portrayed. Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens are not God's gift to screenwriting - that derives from Tolkien's work, and these screenwriters have included far - FAR too many "cliffhanger' scenes. They literally get repetitive in this movie..Tami HarlequinScore: 4/5

Great movie, but feels a bit childishGreat movie, definitely great storytelling, amazing cinematography. I give it a 4.5/5. Read the book a long time ago, not sure how close it is to it. While this feels a bit more childish than the Lord of the Rings, my memory of the books is the same, with The Hobbit feeling a bit more like a young child's book. Cannot comment on how this compares to the theatrical version regarding added content, as I have not seen the theatrical release..ColEchoScore: 4/5
