'There can be only one LOTR and it does not share power' - Gandalf the Grey

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2014)

Alright, let's get down to it, The Hobbit - Battle of the Five Armies!!
This was Jackson's movie which was inspired from Tolkien's works. That's it, inspired!!! Nothing more. LOTR on the other hand was a near perfect adaptation. So folks cut PJ a little slack and watch it for the movie it is. Do not compare it to the book and do not place it next to LOTR.
Yes, the whole Tauriel-Kili phase looked dull and forced but that was my only problem. Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage brought their characters to lives and Benedict Cumberbatch JUST stole the show as Smaug
I really liked the inclusion of Legolas and how PJ cleverly linked 'The Hobbit' as a prequel to the LOTR series by mentioning 'Aragorn' The battle scenes were really well done (And NO, CGI wasn't tacky) and I really would watch it again, for the visuals and the fact that it is the last goodbye to Middle Earth
THANK YOU PETER JACKSON, YOU HAVE DONE A MARVELOUS JOB
