An empty movie, filled with nonsense action

Rating: 5/10 (19 December 2014)

it's time to say it. "the hobbit" was stretched beyond imagination. it's a 300 pages book. and digging into the silmarillion, and adding some unrequested content (elf+dwarf love story... why), Jackson got 3 long movies out of it. and we see the result: the battle of five armies is based on, maybe 20- 30 pages of the book, and this becomes clear when we try to find the plot, hidden behind flashy legolas stunts that are really comical more than epic (if you saw the movie, you know what i mean). 2 hours of stereotyped dialogs and bollywood action just to milk lotr-fans another 8. in the end, we are left without knowing what happens to any of the factions, we don't know who kept the arkenstone, who stays in the lonely mountain, we can just guess what happens between sauron (or was it the witch-king of angmar) and saruman, we don't know what happens to the brown mage, we just know that bilbo gets home. a sad sad ending for the trilogy.
