The Hobbit Trilogy - A Shameless Cash Grab

🧙‍♂️The portrayal of Bilbo Baggins by Martin Freeman is one of the strongest aspects of the trilogy. His character captures the essence of the adventurous hobbit.

👥The 13 dwarves accompanying Bilbo on his quest lack development and their characters are forgettable. Their distinct fighting style is not utilized effectively.

🎶While some of the original soundtrack is reused in the trilogy, the few new compositions, such as the dwarf theme, are a highlight.
