Should you watch The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings first?
If you want to watch Jackson’s Middle Earth movie in the order in which the events take place, you just have to flip the two trilogies so all The Hobbit movies go first. (And if you wanted to include The Rings of Power, you would watch that before any of the movies.)
What comes first The Hobbit or Lord?
The Hobbit series was released a decade after The Lord of the Rings trilogy but serves as its prequel within the story chronology. The films are based on the 1937 novel The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien and follow the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Frodo’s uncle.
Is there a 4th Hobbit movie?
The Hobbit trilogy’s story ended definitively
At the time of the original trilogy’s release, there weren’t any concrete plans for further continuation, so The Battle of the Five Armies ended the Hobbit narrative pretty definitively. The movie ends with Smaug (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Azog (Manu Bennett) defeated.
