How Long Are All the ‘Lord of the Rings’ and ‘Hobbit’ Films?

The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Hobbit trilogy are a series of high fantasy films directed by Peter Jackson. The trilogies are based on author J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, as well as his standalone novel, The Hobbit . Jackson’s film adaptions are by far the most popular and successful adaptions of Tolkien’s work to date. However, they might yet be rivaled by Amazon’s upcoming Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV series.

Amazon’s The Rings of Power premieres its first season on September 2, 2022. Unlike LOTR and The Hobbit , The Rings of Power isn’t based on a specific book. While it draws largely from The Silmarillion , it is more of an all-encompassing history of the Second Age of Middle-earth. With a staggering budget of over $1 billion, The Rings of Power is set to be a large-scale adaption of Tolkien’s work.

With this new Tolkien adaption coming to Amazon soon, fans might be interested in diving into LOTR and The Hobbit for a refresher . However, doing so can be quite an investment in time, as most of these films run close to 3 hours long. Here is the runtime for every LOTR and The Hobbit film. So, pull out that calendar, and get ready to block some hours off.

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2h 58m)

The Fellowship of the Ring is the film that started it all. Released in 2001, the film sees the formation of a fellowship to destroy the One Ring in Mount Doom and keep Dark Lord Sauron from reclaiming it. This film boasts a runtime of 2 hours and 58 minutes. Of course, there is also the extended edition. However, the extended edition of Fellowship of the Ring only adds an extra 30 minutes, making it the shortest LOTR extended edition with a runtime of 3 hours and 28 minutes.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2h 59min)

The Two Towers premiered in 2002, and sees the continuation of Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam’s (Sean Astin) journey to Mordor. However, they are intercepted by the ring’s previous owner, Gollum (Andy Serkis), during their journey. Meanwhile, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) travel to the war-torn nation of Rohan to rescue Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd). Despite covering multiple storylines, The Two Towers has almost the exact same runtime as The Fellowship of the Ring . The Two Towers theatrical version has a runtime of 2 hours and 59 minutes. However, its extended edition offers a full 44 extra minutes of extended scenes and new scenes, bringing its runtime to 3 hours and 42 minutes.

Lords of the Rings: Return of the King (3h 20m)

The Return of the King is the final, and longest, film in the LOTR trilogy. The film follows the final part of Frodo, Sam, and Gollum’s journey to Mount Doom—while the rest of the fellowship takes on Sauron and his legions. The Return of the King ended the trilogy with a bang, taking home 11 Oscars at the 76th Academy Awards and being hailed as a masterpiece by critics and audiences alike. Hence, it isn’t surprising that Return of the King ‘s runtime is 3 hours and 20 minutes. Additionally, Return of the King’s extended edition adds an extra 51 minutes of content, bringing its runtime to a whopping 4 hours and 11 minutes.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2h 49m)

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey kicked off Jackson’s Hobbit trilogy on December 6, 2012. The Hobbit trilogy is an adaption of Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit . However, portions of the trilogy were also inspired by The Return of the King ‘s appendices. An Unexpected Journey follows Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), 60-years before the events of the Lord of the Rings when he is convinced by Gandalf (Ian McKellan) to join a band of Dwarves in their quest to reclaim The Lonely Mountain from Smaug. The Hobbit runtimes are a bit shorter than the Lord of the Rings runtimes. An Unexpected Journey is the longest Hobbit film with a run time of 2 hours and 49 minutes. Meanwhile, the extended edition’s runtime is 3 hours and 2 minutes.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2h 41m)

The Desolation of Smaug premiered on December 13, 2013 and follows the continuation of Bilbo and the Dwarves’ quest to reclaim The Lonely Mountain. While none of The Hobbit films quite live up to the LOTR trilogy, the Desolation of Smaug came the closest to it. It is largely considered the best film in the trilogy and it resembles the grandeur of the LOTR films. Additionally, it’s more concise than the first film, wrapping up in 2 hours and 41 minutes. However, its extended edition is a bit longer, with a runtime of 3 hours and 6 minutes.

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2h 24m)

The Battle of the Five Armies marked the final film in this trilogy, and the conclusion of Jackson’s Middle-earth forays. The film sees The Lonely Mountain being reclaimed by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage). However, victory is short-lived when Smaug’s full fiery is unleashed and as Sauron launches a surprise attack on The Lonely Mountain. This final film also proved the shortest with a runtime of 2 hours and 24 minutes. Meanwhile, the extended edition adds only an extra 20 minutes, culminating in a run time of 2 hours and 44 minutes. Ah, the brevity!

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY to Run 2 Hours and 40 minutes

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey runtime. Runtime for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey starring Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen.

“It’s looking like it’s going to be about ten minutes shorter than Fellowship was," explains Jackson. "So it’s going to be officially our shortest Middle-earth yet. I mean, Fellowship was just under three hours and this is about 2 hours 40 minutes at the moment.”

Here's the official synopsis for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey :

The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Sorcerers. 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 that surprise even him, 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.

Positive Messages

As in The Lord of the Rings , the message of The Hobbit is that even the smallest person can make a huge difference. Gandalf even says "it's the small things that keep the darkness at bay" in reference to Bilbo's involvement in the dangerous mission. Gandalf advises Bilbo that it's not knowing how to take a life that takes courage but knowing when to spare one. The dwarves' quest reminds viewers of the importance of home, kinship, and belonging somewhere. Curiosity, perseverance, and teamwork are major themes.

Positive Role Models

No one except Gandalf thinks that Bilbo can be of much help, but Bilbo rises to the occasion by summoning his courage when the time calls for it -- except for the fact that he fulfills his destiny as a "burglar" by stealing Gollum's precious ring. Thorin is dedicated to his fellow dwarves, and they in return revere him as their faithful leader.

Violence & Scariness

Less violent than The Lord of the Rings , but there's still some carnage: a battle between the dwarves and the dragon leads to the dwarf king being decapitated, an orc leader's arm amputated, and a multitude of dwarves and their property destroyed. There are several close calls when Bilbo, Gandalf, and the dwarves are pursued or nearly die on their journey across Middle-earth, usually by orcs and their beasts. The orc leader is a frightening sight -- particularly with his claw-like prosthesis, and he's bloodthirsty. A group of goblins/orcs tries to kill the group as well.

Products & Purchases

Although there are no product placements in Middle-earth, the Tolkien books and Peter Jackson film adaptations have spawned a ton of merchandise: apparel, video games, LEGO toys and board games, role-playing games, special movie tie-in editions of the books, and more.

Drinking, Drugs & Smoking

The dwarves are a voracious lot -- even more than hobbits. They ransack Bilbo's pantry and consume large quantities of drink (and food). Gandalf and Bilbo smoke the mellowing pipeweed.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, director Peter Jackson 's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's stand-alone quest through Middle-earth, is less violent than the scarier Lord of the Rings trilogy. But there are definitely some frightening sequences, like the battle between the dragon and the dwarves of Erebor, during which one character is decapitated, another has an arm amputated, and there's mass destruction. The group of Bilbo, Gandalf, and 13 dwarves is often tracked and pursued and nearly killed several times, but they manage to avoid death -- at least in this installment. Bilbo (like Frodo and his friends in the LOTR movies) again shows that size doesn't matter when it comes to making a difference.

Suitable for kids IMO.

Definitely not as good as the book..., what's the story.

Peter Jackson's first installment in his three-part adaptation of J. R. R. Tolkien 's THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY starts off with an eleventy-one-year-old Bilbo Baggins (played once again by Ian Holm ) narrating the tale of how he, a mellow hobbit from the Shire, ended up enmeshed in a dangerous quest. Sixty years before The Fellowship of the Ring is formed, a considerably younger Bilbo ( Martin Freeman ) sets off an the titular Unexpected Journey with his friend Gandalf the Grey ( Ian McKellen ) to help 13 dwarves reclaim their homeland -- the kingdom of Erebor, which was taken over by a killer, gold-seeking dragon that forced the dwarves into exile. The motley crew, led by Gandalf and the smoldering heir to the Erebor throne, Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), encounter two-and-a-half hours of conflict (most notably with the bloodthirsty orcs) with a brief respite found in the elven homeland of Rivendell, where Galadriel ( Cate Blanchett ) offers Gandalf her unconditional support.

Is It Any Good?

Despite issues with length and pacing, there's no denying this is a production worth seeing, especially with kids new to Tolkien's detailed universe. As a novel, The Hobbit skews younger than The Lord of the Rings , so it's only natural that the film is also more accessible for tweens -- just have them look the other way for a few of the darker battle sequences. The story is simple enough, and the visuals are dazzling (the 48 frames per second rate is neither as spectacular or headache-inducing as rumors would have you believe). The acting is admirable, including the return of our favorite wizard, Gandalf, Lady of Lorien Galadriel, and head elf Elrond ( Hugo Weaving ). Unfortunately, the dwarves all sort of blend together in a tangle of hair and mischief, with the notable exception of the broody Thorin and his swashbuckling nephews, Fili and Kili (Dean O'Gorman and Aidan Turner).

The main issue with Jackson's adaptation is that the run time is brutal, even for hardcore fans of Jackson's epic LOTR trilogy. Whereas that trilogy made sense as three separate movies -- considering it was the adaptation of three books -- The Hobbit isn't a substantive enough work to demand three movies, even with Jackson pulling extra material from Tolkien's indices. The fabulous visuals and impressive action sequences reminiscent of the trilogy are bogged down by an overlong and overly thorough first quarter that could have used a considerable edit job.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about how The Hobbit compares to The Lord of the Rings . How are the stories similar (a hobbit joins a dangerous quest), and how are they different? Which adventure do you prefer?

For those familiar with the book , how does the movie adaptation differ? If you haven't read the book yet, does the movie make you want to delve into Tolkien's classic? Why do you think Tolkien's fantasy tale has withstood the test of time?

What does Bilbo learn about himself throughout the journey?

How do the characters in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey demonstrate curiosity and courage ? What about perseverance and teamwork ? Why are these important character strengths ?

Screen Rant

The hobbit: 20 differences between the book & the movies.

Most know The Hobbit as the beloved novel by JRR Tolkien, but the movie trilogy adaptation deviates from the source material in different ways.

• From Gandalf seeking out Bilbo for the quest to the dwarven contract and Bilbo leaving Bag-End, key changes enhance the cinematic experience.
• Film additions like the White Council and new characters like Tauriel and Azog add depth and dramatic tension, although some changes may divide fans.
• Sting's history, Bilbo's age difference, and Frodo's cameo all depict divergences from the original book, shaping the cinematic adaptation.

When it comes to The Hobbit book vs movie there are many notable differences, and some are quite surprising. When Peter Jackson announced that he’d be directing a trilogy based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit , the response was one of excitement. However, the trilogy left some fans of the book were confused, given how little the amount of source material was available to flesh out such an ambitious project. In his transformation of the book into a trilogy of big-budget Hollywood action blockbusters, Jackson took many creative liberties.

This inevitably meant that the differences between The Hobbit book and movies were stark. Jackson implemented changes galore, adding in plenty of new content which was loosely adapted from Tolkien's other works. Some of it hit the mark, while the rest felt like superfluous filler. There's no question that in the case of The Hobbit book vs movie, Jackson did his best to please audiences. However, there were a few alterations that many fans didn't feel fit the story at all, making it seem like Jackson was trying to add extraneous connections to LOTR to capitalize on its success.

11 Lord Of The Rings Movie Changes Peter Jackson Was Right To Make

Gandalf's reason for seeking out bilbo, the gandalf of the novel never met child bilbo.

Gandalf's reasons for finding Bilbo are different when looking at The Hobbit book vs movie. In the novelization of The Hobbit , it is established that Gandalf seeks out Bilbo for the quest, particularly because of a memory he had of his mother. According to Gandalf, he was impressed by Belladonna Took, because of her adventurous spirit and personality, and he hoped that side would come out if Bilbo joined them on an adventure.

In the film, Gandalf reminisces about knowing Bilbo as a young boy, who adored the thought of danger, excitement, and adventure. The change isn't a huge one, but it does say a lot about Bilbo's character as he appeared in the book, versus the film adaptation. Either way, it's an opportunity for Gandalf to deliver one of his best lines of the trilogy .

The Dwarven Contract

Peter jackson made the paperwork longer for comic effect.

Another one of the biggest differences between The Hobbit book and movie is the dwarven contract. The dwarves play a central role in both The Hobbit movies and the original book, with the presence of the race as a whole far greater than it was in Lord of the Rings. In fact, it's partially due to a contract with the dwarves that Bilbo leaves the shire in the first place. The details of the dwarven contract with Bilbo Baggins are never explicitly specified, which is why it's so comical to see the film version go on forever when unrolled.

It was Jackson's way of injecting some comedy into the film, especially at such an early start to the story.

It was Jackson's way of injecting some comedy into the film, especially at such an early start to the story. In the book, the contract is a simple note left on his mantle, with two short paragraphs acting as content. That's a stark contrast to the film version, and one of the few changes Jackson made that actually helped make the story better.

Bilbo Leaving Bag-End

In peter jackson's version of the tale hobbits never travel light.

Even the way that Bilbo leaves Bag-End contrasts in the case of The Hobbit book vs movie. This change was small, but noticeable, and it occurs when Bilbo finally decides to make a go of it and join the dwarves on their adventure. In the film, he races after them with a backpack full of stuff and catches up with them before they get too far down the road. In the book, however, it is said that Bilbo left Bag-End without even a handkerchief in his pocket.

In truth, Jackson's change was probably for the best, as any Hobbit would never run off without a few of the comforts of home. It's established in the Lord of the Rings movies that Hobbits enjoy their creature comforts, with the likes of Samwise Gamgee bemoaning his of any food other than Lambas bread even while in grave danger, and Pippin insisting on second breakfast. With this context in the cinematic franchise, it makes much more sense that Bilbo left The Shire well-prepared.

Knowledge Of The Necromancer

Gandalf already knew about the antagonist in the book.

Sauron is a mystery to those who only watched the movies , but changing Gandalf's knowledge of the Necromancer arguably broke canon when it comes to The Hobbit book vs movie. In The Hobbit films, Gandalf learns of the Necromancer when he speaks to Radagast, which is what Peter Jackson used as the reason for Gandalf leaving Thorin and company.

This change was likely made to ensure audiences weren't lost along the way as the story unfolded

However, in the book, Gandalf is already well aware of the Necromancer. In J.R.R Tolkien's version of The Hobbit , Gandalf has already visited Dol Guldur, and heard of the Necromancer, as it was there that he encountered Thráin, the father of Thorin Oakenshield, and received the map and key that he later gives to Thorin . This change was likely made to ensure audiences weren't lost along the way as the story unfolded, as having to flashback to Gandalf's goings-on prior to the events of The Hobbit would have required even more screentime in an already lengthy trilogy.

Dwalin's Beard

A subtle yet noticable aesthetic difference.

Though it was not a massive change that impacted the plot, there was one element of Dwalin's appearance that classifies as one of the differences between The Hobbit book and movie. Interestingly enough, the book says, " It was a dwarf with a blue beard tucked into a golden belt, and very bright eyes under his dark-green hood. " This is a stark change from how Dwalin is shown in the movie, with a brunette beard and dark eyes.

While some readers have argued over the ages that it wasn't meant to literally be blue, others believe Dwalin's beard really was meant to be that way, in order to seem "otherworldly." When the script was written for the Hobbit film, Jackson opted to take out a lot of the whimsy to make it more in line with The Lord of the Rings , meaning Dwalin's blue beard was one of the first things to go.

Contacting The Eagles For Help

Once again the eagles created conversations in the lord of the rings prequel.

Another one of the biggest changes in the case of The Hobbit book vs movie sees Gandalf acting when he canonically did not. When Azog and his orcs descend upon the party at the end of the first Hobbit film, Gandalf contacts Gwaihir, the Lord of the Eagles , via a carrier moth. This was done primarily to act as a nod to the first Lord of the Rings film, where Gandalf escapes imprisonment from the rooftop of Orthanc, in much the same way.

Given Gandalf's relationship with the Eagles, the film version is probably the better one, despite the small change made to Tolkien and Lord of the Rings canon.

In the book, however, Gandalf never makes the attempt. Rather, Gwaihir himself notices the ruckus from afar, and soars through the skies to come to their rescue. It's hard to tell which version is better, but given Gandalf's relationship with the Eagles, the film version is probably the better one, despite the small change made to Tolkien and Lord of the Rings canon.

Lord Of The Rings: 25 Most Powerful Beings In The Tolkien Universe, Ranked

Thranduil's face, almost everything about the elven lord has been expanded.

More key differences between The Hobbit book and movie include Thranduil having a much more fleshed-out backstory that isn't in the novels. Interestingly, Thranduil is never referred to by name in The Hobbit book, but is simply called "the Elvenking." However, there's an even bigger difference between the text and the movie, which is Thranduil's burned face that he hides with magic.

Thranduil attributes this to the "fire serpents in the North," but this is not mentioned at all in the book, nor is there any record of elves being able to hide old wounds. It was primarily added to give Thranduil a more menacing and obsessive character, even though he proves himself to be one of the most powerful heroes in The Hobbit . Thranduil is one of several character in The Hobbit Peter Jackson added more dimensions to in order to turn a single book into a trilogy of movies, and it's one change that definitely makes the story better.

Tricking The Trolls

The hobbit movies granted bilbo a great hero moment.

The great The Hobbit book vs movie debate also sees a cunning act perpetrated by Bilbo originally belonging to Gandalf. In The Hobbit movies, it is Bilbo Baggins who cleverly tricks the trolls as they discuss the best ways to cook the dwarves . Eventually, the sun rises, and they are caught unawares, leading to their permanent demise.

Giving him this achievement certainly makes him seem more cunning and valuable to the overall quest.

In the book, it is Gandalf who actually deceives the trolls by throwing his voice, pretending to be one of them, and making them argue among themselves until dawn arrives , and turns them to stone. In the films, Gandalf was not present during the scene. The reason for this change is most likely to make Bilbo seem like a more competent hero, and giving him this achievement certainly makes him seem more cunning and valuable to the overall quest.

The White Council

Saruman and galadriel make an appearance the book doesn't include.

Differences between The Hobbit book and movie also see the inclusion of the White Council. The Hobbit movies feature the White Council, with both Saruman and Galadriel present in Elrond's home of Rivendell. However, neither Saruman nor Galadriel are mentioned in The Hobbit book, and the White Council does not meet during the narrative.

Though this is different from the book, it does act as fan service, as it means that viewers got to see some more of their favorite characters from The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy, as well as adding some more depth and drama to. The lack of the White Council in The Hobbit may also be because Tolkien wrote The Hobbit several decades before Lord of the Rings. Including Galadriel and Saruman in the cinematic prequel deepens ties between the two, and it's entirely possible Tolkien would have included them had the order he wrote the stories been reversed.

Jackson Added A Lot Of Material To Turn The Hobbit Into A Trilogy

Arguably the most glaring change brought up in The Hobbit book vs movie debate is the length. The Hobbit is a rather short book, especially in comparison to the intimidating size of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy . The question remains as to why Jackson or the studio would ever think it was a good idea to flesh the story out across three films.

Opinions on whether the additional length of The Hobbit trilogy definitely vary.

By placing various amounts of filler in between established moments from the book, Jackson tried to fill in the blanks and create a stronger story. In truth, the entire tale could have been told in two parts, avoiding unnecessary filler and focusing on a tight narrative. Opinions on whether the additional length of The Hobbit trilogy definitely vary. However, it does make sense from a business perspective for obvious reasons (as it meant 3 movies worth of profits), and it does seem thematically fitting that the prequel to Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy is also one.

The Prologue

A welcome and scene-setting addition to the story.

One of the most welcomed differences between The Hobbit book and movie was the addition of a prologue. The world of Lord of the Rings is particularly complex, which is why the prologue in Fellowship of the Ring was so effective. Audiences were given something very similar at the start of The Hobbit , and even though it didn’t occur in the book, it did actually help establish the narrative moving forward.

Middle-earth lore was built across many books, with plenty of interesting details only appearing in footnotes. With such a wellspring of detailed information, these prologues helped create exposition and further pull audiences into the magnificent fantasy world. The introduction of a prologue to The Hobbit movies was also helpful for established Tolkien fans who'd read the novel. Since there were many changes to come, the prologue in The Hobbit established Peter Jackson's vision of Middle-earth before Lord of the Rings and that it would be different from the novel.

The Presence Of Radagast The Brown

Elevating the wizard was a wise move.

In The Hobbit , Tolkien mentions the wizard Radagast The Brown only a handful of times as one of the five wizards of Middle-earth. In the movies, Peter Jackson greatly expands his role, allowing the character to interact with the likes of Gandalf and Bilbo, while starring in his own scene in which he helps avert a group of goblins from catching up with the main characters. Having an additional wizard definitely enhanced the cinematic version of Middle-earth, and showed that Gandalf and Saruman weren't the only ones out there.

Radagast also provides comic relief as an innocent, eccentric, and bumbling character who hides a deep, vast power.

Radagast also provides comic relief as an innocent, eccentric, and bumbling character who hides a deep, vast power. The expanded story of Radagast's character is another welcome change in The Hobbit book vs. movie debate. Obviously, these parts of his personality never came across through Tolkien’s brief mention of his existence, but it was nice to see another wizard besides Gandalf and Saruman on Middle Earth.

All Wizards/Istari In Lord Of The Rings

The presence of tauriel, some felt evangeline lilly's character was unnecessary.

Sometimes new characters work, but Tauriel's addition is another one of the differences between The Hobbit book and movie that had audiences scratching their heads because of the way Jackson handled her arc. Played by Lost’s Evangeline Lilly, Tauriel is a character exclusive to the film adaptation of The Hobbit, and she isn’t in any of The Lord of the Rings films, the first The Hobbit movie, or the book, at any point.

This was one of the more controversial additions to the film trilogy, and one many fans felt was unnecessary. She was seemingly created to provide a strong, relatable female character that doesn’t really exist in The Hobbit , and also to act as one part of a tragically romantic love saga between herself, and the dwarven character Kíli. It also led to what seemed like a Hobbit plot hole, due to her character's unfinished story arc.

The Presence Of Azog

An additional villain in peter jackson's trilogy caused some chagrin.

The topic of Azog in The Hobbit book vs movie debate causes an issue, as his presence in the film speaks to a timeline problem. The character of Azog is one of the most powerful villains in the Hobbit/LOTR universe , and he does exist in Tolkien's established lore, but he was beheaded by the character Dain long before the events of The Hobbit took place . As such, the character was essentially lifted from the pages of Middle-earth history, and deposited into the trilogy to act as a principal antagonist.

Some readers took umbrage that Azog was included as another antagonist when he didn't originally have a part in the central story of The Hobbit .

With one arm missing, Azog proved to be an effective and intimidating villain that could act as a counterweight to Thorin Oakenshield's character. His story arc ended in suitably dramatic fashion during a final showdown between the two, in the third and final film. However, some readers took umbrage that Azog was included as another antagonist when he didn't originally have a part in the central story of The Hobbit .

The Presence Of Legolas

Orlando bloom's return had no literary basis.

One of the more debated negative differences between The Hobbit book and movie was the inclusion of Legolas. Peter Jackson wanted to establish some consistency between The Hobbit and Lord Of The Rings , even if the former was a prequel. As such, audiences see Legolas appear in both The Desolation of Smaug, and The Battle of the Five Armies .

However, Legolas doesn’t appear in the book at all, and it feels as if he was deposited into the film trilogy as a way to bring back an audience favorite. In truth, he added little to the overall story, and in some cases, actually deprived other characters of the limelight. Much like some other changes, it is entirely possible that Tolkien would have included Legolas had he wrote The Lord of the Rings first. Since he didn't, though, it's impossible to know for certain, which is why Orlando Bloom's return for the prequel movies will forever be a controversial change for hardcore Tolkien scholars.

The Barrels

A simple alteration that enhanced the cinematic experience.

It might not be as important as many other differences between The Hobbit book and movie, but the barrel scene is nevertheless worth mentioning. When the dwarves escape the hall of the elven king, they float down a river using barrels as boats. The movies shows the dwarves in open barrels, allowing them both to communicate with one-another and be seen by the audience. In the books, these are sealed, rather than open with the characters sticking out.

Unlike some differences between The Hobbit books and movies, the alteration here didn't disrupt the established plot in any way

Unlike some differences between The Hobbit books and movies, the alteration here didn't disrupt the established plot in any way, and was purely aesthetic. This allowed for a more visual connection to the scene, as it established the dwarves' presence, and also the battle that followed shortly thereafter. It also added more tension and excitement to the story, by introducing such a chaotic battle.

The Dwarf Deaths

Peter jackson's movies did three characters a serious injustice.

One of the most heated points of debate in the case of The Hobbit book vs movie has to do with Kíli, Fíli, and Thorin. One piece of storyline mentioned consistently between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings is the death of Kíli, Fíli, and Thorin. However, the manner in which they died in the movies quickly became a point of contention among readers of Tolkien's works.

The movies show the three being slaughtered rather brutally during a fight with Azog and his orcs. The book finds them charging into a battle that they know they won’t survive, dying as brave heroes as a result. This might seem like a small change, but it's one that many have felt disrespected their characters. The book versions of the characters died fearlessly, whereas their cinematic equivalents were simply overpowered in a fight they likely believed they could win.

The Frodo Cameo

Some felt elijah woods returning to link both trilogies was unwise.

More scrupulous readers of Tolkien's works were a little put off by Frodo's inclusion in The Hobbit movie, as he didn't appear in the book at all. It can be argued that one of the more pointless moments in The Hobbit was Elijah Wood’s cameo appearance as Frodo Baggins. It occurred when Bilbo told him a very rough version of his original adventures. Since Tolkien would not write The Lord of the Rings until many years after The Hobbit, Frodo was not even a concept.

The cameo scene felt similar to what Jackson was trying to accomplish by including Legolas.

In fact, Tolkien’s version of this was the reverse, something that only further upset readers. At the start of The Fellowship of the Ring , it is likely that the opening scene of The Shire was built around the aging Bilbo, in order to glean some connection to the previously released Hobbit book. Therefore, it wasn't worth bringing Frodo into the Hobbit films at all, and the cameo scene felt similar to what Jackson was trying to accomplish by including Legolas.

Why The Ring Didn't Affect Bilbo The Way It Did Frodo

The history of sting.

The act of Bilbo finding, choosing, and naming his sword Sting was an important piece of development for the character, given its status as one of the most iconic weapons of Tolkien's works . Of course, this also turns out to be one of the biggest differences between The Hobbit book and movie. In the movie, he is simply given it by Gandalf, after the wizard finds it on the floor of the troll hoard.

The entire scene of the company finding the dwarven weapons seems a bit lazy in comparison to the books. It was more of a convenient way to establish the presence of the blades, with very little exposition or attention given to each of them. Tolkien goes into much more detail about Sting and the swords history in his writing, and it seems surprising that of all the elements of the story, Sting is one that Jackson dumbed-down, since the sword was already an established presence in his cinematic Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Bilbo's Age Difference

One of the biggest issues audiences had about the Hobbit trilogy was the changing of lead actor Ian Holm to Martin Freeman. This was understandable from a production perspective, as the late Ian Holm was already in his 70s by the late 2010s when The Hobbit was being produced. However, the chagrin from some fans wasn't due to disliking Martin Freeman, as his performance in the role was widely praised.

It was rather that Bilbo's age in the movies was a complete contradiction of Bilbo's character from the books , and by far the biggest sin cited in The Hobbit book vs movie debate. It is clearly established that Bilbo's possession of the One Ring meant that he maintained his youthful appearance for decades after finding it. Yet, the stark contrast in physicality between the two actors pretty much robs the story of that fact and creates a gaping plot hole.

The Journey That Started It All

Lose yourself in the thrilling action adventure of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The long-awaited prequel to Peter Jackson’s spellbinding Lord of the Rings trilogy, the movie tells the tale of hobbit Bilbo Baggins, who one day gets a surprise visit from the wizard Gandalf and a band of homeless dwarves. Led by their former king Thorin, they are on a dangerous quest to recover the lost kingdom and treasure of Eredor. Persuading Bilbo to join them, they head off through the dangerous lands of Middle-earth where they will fight trolls, orcs and other magical creatures to defeat the terrible dragon, Smaug.

Martin Freeman was Peter Jackson’s first choice for the role of Bilbo. In fact, Jackson completely reworked the filming schedule to accommodate Freeman, who was busy with the BBC series Sherlock.

Aidan Turner resigned from a BBC series he was in so that he could accept the role of dwarf Kili in The Hobbit.

Although the characters Frodo, Saruman and Galadriel appear in the movie, none of them are actually in Tolkien’s book, The Hobbit.

Peter Jackson is one of the few directors to have two films that grossed over a billion dollars wordwide.

In the film, Azog is a digital character created using motion-capture technology.

7 best 2010s fantasy movies, ranked

For the fantasy genre, the 2010s were a time of both bittersweet endings and exciting beginnings. Dominated by epic franchises that would captivate fans across the globe, there were significant contributions to the genre and cinema as a whole from that era. Of course, there were also acclaimed standalone fantasy movies from talented directors who would use the best aspects of the genre while pushing its boundaries.

7. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012)

6. life of pi (2012), 5. how to train your dragon (2010), 4. your name (2016), 3. the shape of water (2017), 2. the lighthouse (2019).

• 1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & 2 (2010 – 2011)

From the magical clash within Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to the captivating story of The Shape of Water , the best fantasy movies of the 2010s offer spectacular and otherworldly viewing experiences for audiences of all ages. Full of rich fantastical realms, well-written heroes and foes, and spell-binding stories, these films have cemented their place in cinematic history as must-see significant entries in the fantasy genre.

In 2001, director Peter Jackson would achieve what seemed impossible by adapting J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings  into a legendary trilogy. His follow-up to one of the best fantasy movie franchises ever made unfortunately did not live up to the high standard he set. The prequel movies started with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey  in 2012, which follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who goes on a quest to reclaim the lost kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. He does this alongside a company of dwarves and his old friend, the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen).

With defined expectations of what Middle-earth could offer, many fans were disappointed by The Hobbit ‘s uneven pacing and clear deviations from the source material. The excessive use of CGI has also aged poorly, especially compared to the original trilogy’s stunning visuals. The fantasy film is still worth watching for viewers who want to dive back into that sprawling magical world that only Tolkien’s imaginative works can deliver, even if its execution on the big screen is flawed.

Director Ang Lee brings the beautiful story first told in Yann Martel’s 2001 novel to life in Life of Pi . It chronicles the unusual journey of Pi Patel (Suraj Sharma), who survives a shipwreck and is left adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger. It soon becomes clear that he and the tiger must trust each other if they want to survive the coming days, which quickly turn into weeks. The hopeless situation turns into something else completely as Pi experiences some of the best and worst events in his life out on the ocean.

Life of Pi was a groundbreaking early example of the power of 3D effects when used right. The 2012 adventure-drama film accomplishes the challenging feat of effectively conveying Martel’s magical realism through breathtaking visuals and fantastic storytelling. At its core is an incredible performance from Sharma, who is impeccably cast as the boy whose dangerous situation turns into a poignant tale of self-discovery.

How to Train Your Dragon is a DreamWorks hit that depicts a fictional land called Berk where Vikings and dragons coexist, but have been long locked in a bitter conflict. It focuses on the journey of Hiccup (Jay Baruchel), a young Viking who dreams of becoming a dragon slayer like his father, Stoick the Vast ( Gerard Butler ). One day, Hiccup befriends a wounded Night Fury dragon he calls Toothless, and the Viking soon learns that the creatures are not as terrifying as he once believed them to be.

Directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, the 2010 film would become a blockbuster and one of the most popular animated movies ever , spawning a thriving multimedia franchise that even includes a live-action reboot from Universal Pictures that’s scheduled to premiere on June 13, 2025. 2010’s How to Train Your Dragon was the jumping-off point that gave fans a meticulously crafted world surprisingly rich with lore, with Hiccup’s emotional and inspiring arc being the cherry on top.

A seamless blend of anime, fantasy, and romance, Your Name is a modern classic directed by Makoto Shinkai. The film follows the lives of two teenagers, Mitsuha Miyamizu (Mone Kamishiraishi) and Taki Tachibana (Ryunosuke Kamiki), who inexplicably find themselves swapping bodies. They panic at first, but soon find ways to enjoy and improve each other’s lives before eventually falling in love and wanting to meet the other in person and in their own bodies.

Your Name takes the body swap trope and adds its own unique twist to it that will take viewers by surprise. It’s impossible to talk about how effective this midpoint revelation is without spoiling the story, as it’s the type of film that’s best seen knowing as little as possible about its plot. All audiences have to know is that it’s not the typical body swap love story, as there’s something more serious going on beneath the surface that takes the film’s fantasy element to the next level.

Among director Guillermo del Toro’s most acclaimed movies , The Shape of Water is an unforgettable, romantic dark fantasy film set in 1962 Baltimore. In this Cold War-era setting, an unlikely romance begins between a mute janitor working at a high-security government laboratory, Elisa Esposito (Sally Hawkins), and a strange amphibious creature (Doug Jones) captured from the depths of the Amazon. A distinct connection forms between them as they learn to communicate through sign language, but the authorities soon threaten their safety.

The Shape of Water proves that love has no bounds, even if the differences seem too great or the circumstances too challenging. The movie is chock-full of del Toro’s trademarks, with the filmmaker filling it with detailed set and costume designs, familiar faces, an exploration of an unusual relationship, a critique of war and oppressive regimes, and a bittersweet ending. The result is a captivating romance that will have viewers holding their breath as Elisa scrambles to save the love of her life.

The Lighthouse is a genre-busting film by director Robert Eggers, but if it had to be categorized, the horror and fantasy genres are where it would fit it best. Set in the late 19th century, the movie follows two lighthouse keepers, Ephraim Winslow (Robert Pattinson) and Thomas Wake (Willem Dafoe), who are tasked with maintaining a remote lighthouse on a desolate island off the coast of New England. As they spend weeks together in close quarters, their sanity begins to unravel as they witness bizarre occurrences and surreal visions.

The character-driven movie shows how isolation can cause a haunting descent into madness, with the supernatural thrown into the chaotic mess to make viewers question everything they see. The entire film is a visual and auditory feast, though often in an unsettling way, with Eggers building an atmosphere that’s dripping with dread and anxiety. Pattinson and Dafoe deliver powerhouse performances as the tortured characters, whose increasingly deranged behaviors help create a viewing experience that truly lingers.

1. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & 2 (2010 – 2011)

The Harry Potter movies were a landmark cinematic achievement and remain a cultural phenomenon to this day. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 & 2 play an important part in the epic saga, as they marked the end of the journey for characters fans have grown to love. In Part 1 , Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) risk their lives to find and destroy Voldemort’s Horcruxes, objects containing fragments of his soul. In Part 2 , the final confrontation between Harry and Voldemort takes place at Hogwarts, with the protagonist forced to make the ultimate sacrifice to bring peace to the magical realm.

Director David Yates expertly adapts J.K. Rowling’s beloved novels, delivering a satisfying conclusion to the series that will stay with fans for years to come. The cast members deliver remarkable, yet bittersweet performances, particularly Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint, who had grown into their roles over the course of the Harry Potter movies. The final two films helped ensure that the massively popular series would effortlessly stick the landing, cementing its enduring legacy as one of the most successful fantasy franchises ever.

Editors' Recommendations

• 7 best fantasy movie franchises, ranked

There's a distinction that few people make with Alien's famous "In space, no one can hear you scream" tagline. That statement is only true in the vacuum of space. Inside of a spaceship, the screams are perfectly audible, and it sounds like there's going to be a lot of screaming in the next film in the series, Alien: Romulus.

It's no secret that the films after Ridley Scott's Alien embraced action over horror. But Alien: Romulus is getting back to the franchise's horror roots thanks to director and co-writer Fede Álvarez. Prior to this film, Álvarez established himself in the horror genre with his terrific remake of Evil Dead as well as his original film Don't Breathe. That's the sensibility that Álvarez is bringing to Alien: Romulus.

After one of the great cliffhangers in the show's history, fans are eager to gather every detail about Stranger Things 5. Understandably, season 5, the finale of Netflix's Stranger Things, is now one of television's most highly anticipated events. Since Vecna succeeded in tearing open a massive gate to the Upside Down, audiences now expect the heroes of Hawkins to engage in an epic final battle against the evil psychic and his army of monsters.

At this point, details regarding the season to end all seasons have been scarce, and the world likely won't get to see the show's last episodes for quite a while. In the meantime, here's everything that has been revealed and should be expected from Stranger Things 5. Stranger Things season 5 release date

Welcome to the paradox of Disney+: It's the streaming service with blockbuster brands and an incredibly shrinking lineup of original programing. There's no better example of this than Disney+'s lineup for May. Marvel and Star Wars fans have a lot to be excited about with the series finale of Star Wars: The Bad Batch, the three-part season finale of X-Men '97, and the premiere of Star Wars: Tales of the Empire streaming during the month. There's even a new season of Doctor Who coming on May 10, as well as Pixar's Monsters At Work season 2 on May 5.

Beyond that, music lovers get to look forward to documentaries about The Beatles, Queen, and The Beach Boys, while The Muppets creator Jim Henson gets a documentary of his own. All of that sounds great until you realize that everything we listed above accounts for roughly 94% of Disney+'s original content for the entire month of May. So, where's the rest of it? As much as we love dessert, there's no main course here. And June doesn't have a hot Marvel show to fall back on, which means summer may look pretty barren in the House of Mouse.

The romantic comedy Anyone but You and the dark comedy drama Miller’s Girl come to Netflix, while the debut horror thriller Humane , directed by Caitlin Cronenberg, arrives on Shudder.

Here’s everything new that’s available to watch this weekend!

New on Netflix

Anyone but you.

Where to watch: Available to stream on Netflix

Genre: Romantic comedy Run time: 1h 44m Director: Will Gluck Cast: Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell, Alexandra Shipp

Sydney Sweeney ( Euphoria ) and Glen Powell ( Top Gun: Maverick ) star in this romantic comedy loosely based on William Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing as Bea and Ben, two young singles who become cold toward one another after an otherwise great first date. After unexpectedly being reunited at a destination wedding in Australia, the pair agree to pretend to be dating in order to ward off their exes. Shenanigans ensue!

Miller’s Girl

Genre: Black comedy drama Run time: 1h 33m Director: Jade Halley Bartlett Cast: Martin Freeman, Jenna Ortega, Dagmara Domińczyk

Martin Freeman ( The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ) and Jenna Ortega ( Wednesday ) star in this thriller about a high school writing teacher who is seduced by a rich, bored, and manipulative young student. Things obviously go very, very badly.

From our review :

What Miller’s Girl does best — and what gives Ortega the chance to absolutely own this movie — is capture the particular era of adolescence where girls can easily swing back and forth between adulthood and childhood without warning. Ortega gets the chance here to play an outright predatory vamp and a giggling, shy schoolgirl without the sense that either one is a front or a put-on for Cairo. Her adult personality isn’t fully formed yet, and while she’s trying out faces the way she tries out words like “vituperative” in her writing, they’re still all part of her — and they’re all part of the reason Mr. Miller should know better than to engage with her as anything but a student.

New on Shudder

Where to watch: Available to stream on Shudder

Genre: Horror Run time: 1h 33m Director: Caitlin Cronenberg Cast: Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, Sebastian Chacon

The feature debut from Caitlin Cronenberg is a horror thriller worthy of the family name. Set during a worldwide ecological collapse, Humane follows estranged siblings who learn that their father and mother have chosen to take part in a nationwide euthanasia program as a form of public service. When things go awry, the family will have to choose one of their own to offer up as a substitute participant. Naturally, things get personal.

New to rent

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon , Apple , and Vudu

Genre: Action thriller Run time: 2h 1m Director: Dev Patel Cast: Dev Patel, Sharlto Copley, Pitobash

Dev Patel stars in his directorial debut as an unnamed street kid who, years after his village was burned to the ground, earns a living as a monkey-masked fighter in an underground boxing club. He embarks on a campaign of brutal violence to exact revenge on the men responsible.

When Monkey Man finally shifts into gear for its action scenes, there’s a clearer vision at work — though perhaps “clear” isn’t the word for it. Patel, working with fight choreographer Brahim Chab and cinematographer Sharone Meir ( Whiplash ), shoots the fights up close and personal with a frenetic handheld camera that judders and whip-pans with the force of every blow, and deftly stitches these shots together into head-spinning, unbroken runs of movement. Influenced by Korean, Indonesian, and Bollywood action movies , what the style sometimes lacks in clarity it makes up in ferocity and impact. The desperation of Kid’s first bathroom battle with Rana is brilliantly conveyed (Kher is fantastic in an old-school heavy role), and the extended climax is intermittently stunning, although the editing sometimes struggles to maintain focus when things get busy.

Love Lies Bleeding

Genre: Romantic thriller Run time: 1h 44m Director: Rose Glass Cast: Kristen Stewart, Katy O’Brian, Jena Malone

The new thriller from Saint Maud director Rose Glass follows Lou (Kristen Stewart), a reclusive gym manager who falls in love with Jackie (Katy O’Brian), an ambitious bodybuilder who passes through town on her way to a Las Vegas competition. When Jackie runs afoul of Lou’s criminal father (Ed Harris), the two must find a way to escape their precarious situation in hopes of building a better life together.

Arthur the King

Where to watch: Available to rent on Amazon , Apple, and Vudu

Genre: Adventure Run time: 1h 47m Director: Simon Cellan Jones Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Simu Liu, Juliet Rylance

Mark Wahlberg stars in this new adventure thriller as Michael, a professional adventure racer desperate for one last chance at winning. After convincing a sponsor to back him, he and his team of fellow adventurers embark on a grueling 435-mile endurance race through the Dominican Republic. Pushed to his limits, Michael befriends a wounded stray dog he nicknames Arthur, who inspires him to press forward when all hope of winning seems lost.

Housekeeping for Beginners

Genre: Drama Run time: 1h 47m Director: Goran Stolevski Cast: Anamaria Marinca, Alina Serban, Samson Selim

This family drama from Of an Age director Goran Stolevski follows the story of Dita (Anamaria Marinca), a woman who promises her ailing partner Suada (Alina Serban) on her deathbed to raise her children. Having never wanted to be mother before, Dita is nonetheless faced with the challenge of opening her heart and forging a bond with her new family.

Genre: Drama Run time: 1h 35m Director: Lila Avilés Cast: Naíma Sentíes, Montserrat Marañón, Marisol Gasé

This heartfelt family drama centers on Sol (Naíma Sentíes), a 7-year-old girl spending the day at her grandfather’s house while her mother, aunts, and relatives prepare a surprise birthday party for her father. As the day wears on, Sol slowly realizes that the tragic truth under the otherwise joyous occasion, and is forced to reckon with how her life and world are about to change forever.
