The Hobbit trilogy is severely underrated. Many people regard as a complete disappointment and a set of terrible movies. And when comparing it LOTR and the potential this trilogy had, I can see the point of those people. And to be fair, it has it's fair share of problems, miscasting, boring scenes, and is stretched out a little too much. But that's nothing compared to all the great things about it. Martin Freeman absolutely killed the role of Bilbo and is extremely likeable. It's nearly impossible to see another Bilbo that would be just a good and it's hard to argue that Martin Freeman wasn't perfect casting. As great as he is, one great character doesn't make a good trilogy. The hobbit movies are very good, even though they don't quite live up to the other middle earth movies. And it's the awesome moments in them that make them so great. Here are the top 25 moments in the Hobbit trilogy, ordered worst to best. There may multiple moments from the same scene.
25. The Dwarf Party (An Unexpected Journey)
24. Stone Giant Battle (An Unexpected Journey)
23. Bombur runs past all the dwarves (The Desolation of Smaug)
One of the funniest things in the movie. The fat guys outruns everyone.
22. Meeting Gandalf (An Unexpected Journey)
Another good comedic moment filled with great dialogue.
21. Return to the Shire (An Unexpected Journey)
For the first time since LOTR, we see the beautiful shire once again.
20. "I'm going on an Adventure" (An Unexpected Journey)
19. Bilbo receives Sting (An Unexpected Journey)
18. Rescuing the Dwarves (The Desolation of Smaug)
Another heroic moments where Bilbo shows his worth and frees the dwarves from the elvish prison.
17. Mirkwood Spider Fight (The Desolation of Smaug)
A fine action scene that introduces Legolas and Tauriel.
16. Dwarves run into Battle (The Battle of Five Armies)
After sitting out a huge chunk of the battle, Thorin leads the men into battle heroically in one the film's best scenes.
After Radagast deliver his "I'd like to see them try." (to catch him) line, a chasse scene emerges. If you look closely, Radagast does an awful job leading the orcs away from the dwarves. It's filmed over a beautiful location.
14. Eagle Rescue (An Unexpected Journey)
13. Bilbo sees Bilbo in Mirkwood (The Desolation of Smaug)
In Mirkwood Bilbo turns around and see himself. A funny, cool moment.
12. Meeting Smaug (The Desolation of Smaug)
11. The Ending (The Battle of Five Armies)
Even though the movie wasn't too great, the ending is done very well and is really sad when you realize it's over.
10. Cliffhanger (The Desolation of Smaug)
After showing that Smaug is a great villain, he goes out to kill the people of Lake-Town and the movie ends. A perfect ending.
9. Bilbo saves Thorin (An Unexpected Journey)
While everyone leaves Thorin to dies, Bilbo finds his courage and saves him (and even kills an orc).
8. Entering Erebor (The Desolation of Smaug)
The Dwarves finally enter Erebor and it's a beautiful moment.
7. Gollum's Riddles (An Unexpected Journey)
A funny way to put Gollum back in Middle-Earth and explains Bilbo's involvement with the ring quite well.
6. Goblin Escape (An Unexpected Journey)
A super fun action packed escape scene with a great score to back it up.
5. Factory/Mine Action Sequence (The Desolation of Smaug)
Another really fun action sequence- this time it's against a dragon.
4. "That'll do it" (An Unexpected Journey)
The goblin king delivers the best line of the trilogy.
3. Pinecones (An Unexpected Journey)
When stuck in a tree with enemies coming at you what do you do? You throw flaming pinecones at them. And that's really what happens.
2. The Barrel Ride (The Desolation of Smaug)
An awesome, super fun action sequence as they escape from the elves.
1. Entering Lake-Town (The Desolation of Smaug)
The best place in Middle-Earth gets a perfect view of it with great music.
