Not as good as the Lord of the rings final movie

Rating: 6/10 (26 December 2014)

The final chapter of the Hobbit trilogy ends up in a battle of five armies, all fighting to get control of the mountain and the gold after the dragon's death. As a fan of the Middle Earth, I was a bit disappointed. However, I had already experienced the blow of not having the book as it is from the previews Hobbit movies, so I wasn't disappointed on the plot briefly based slightly on the book, but at the movie as a whole. What bothered me most was the endless battles, that made me feel that they were trying to copy the battle at Minas Tirith on the Lord of the Rings the return of the king movie. Yes, there were some great man to man battles, however, as the war was unfolded, more and more weird creatures arrived, like the giants at the city, which I found unrealistic, if that word can be used to describe these creatures. Of course I liked some of them, like the bats and the worms, and maybe the pigs and the goats the dwarfs used as horses, but the too many trolls and goblins tired me off. What I also didn't like was the feeling that was all over the movie, the feeling that this was the end and there will be no more. You know what is going to happen next, as you have seen the Lord of the rings, and you know that Biblo is not going to die or loose the ring, and that spoils the plot a little, but I guess that that wasn't intensionally made. The performances were great and the scenes were amazing, as were the small dialogs and comic moments. The set and the costumes were good also, the make up not so much. Finally, an error that could have been prevented was the dream stage that the heroes tended to get into. One time, it's okay, but there were too much of those moments. But I assume that they needed something to fill in the plot. In the end, I think that the Hobbit, the battle of the five armies was made on the shadow of the third Lord of the rings movie, and there for it didn't thrive. So 6 out of 10, because the previews ones were much better.
