A fantastic ending to the trilogy, leaving an avid LOTR fan wanting more

Rating: 9/10 (4 January 2015)

A fantastic ending to the trilogy, leaving an avid LOTR fan wanting more! The Hobbit finale seems to have a lot of negative energy around it, concerning bad CGI and unnecessary story elements, which is understandable for die hard fans of the book and original stories. I for one, am not. As a watcher of the films and non-reader of the books, I felt like 'The Battle of Five Armies' tied together The Hobbit story perfectly and without a single dull moment. I was so drawn into the fantasy, the 'lack' of effective CGI was not noticed. Would highly recommend to any LOTR/Hobbit fans of course, as well as anyone with any interest in 'epic' adventure fantasy movies.
