"The Hobbit" is a fantasy novel written by J.R.R. Tolkien. It was published in 1937 and is a prelude to Tolkien's more complex and extensive work, "The Lord of the Rings." "The Hobbit" follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who is reluctantly swept into an epic quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain and its treasure from the dragon Smaug.
"The Desolation of Smaug" is the second film in "The Hobbit" film trilogy directed by Peter Jackson. It is based on the second part of J.R.R. Tolkien's novel. The trilogy also includes "An Unexpected Journey" (2012) and "The Battle of the Five Armies" (2014). "The Desolation of Smaug" was released in 2013.
The plot of the movie closely follows Bilbo and the company of dwarves as they continue their journey toward the Lonely Mountain. Along the way, they encounter various challenges, including encounters with Elves, giant spiders, and the men of Lake-town. The climax of the film revolves around the dwarves' attempt to enter the Lonely Mountain and confront the formidable dragon, Smaug.
The film adaptation, like many adaptations, takes some liberties with the source material for cinematic purposes. While some fans appreciate the films for their visual spectacle and interpretation of Tolkien's world, others have criticized certain creative choices and deviations from the original text. Regardless, "The Hobbit" and its film adaptations continue to be popular among fans of fantasy literature and cinema.
