I saw the final film of a fantastic film trilogy on the 31st of December. It's hard to believe that the story is finished. Peter Jackson has done full justice to Tolkien's work and world of Middle-Earth as everyone in the film reaches their journey's end when Smaug the dragon is killed and everyone wants a share of the treasure in the depths of Erebor, a Dwarf kingdom, but armies of goblins are planning to take the kingdom under the Lonely Mountain in service of Sauron, a Dark Lord who was defeated many years ago.
By using Tolkien's notes and other works, Peter Jackson has used his skills to bring The Hobbit in line with The Lord of the Rings as having Ian Holm portraying older Bilbo Baggins at the edge after Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins returns home to Bag End at the end of the film.
Some people say that the battle was too long, but I don't mind. I think that its a great film and a good end for the film films that tells how Bilbo found the One Ring and how The Lord of the Rings came about on Frodo Baggins.
