Mindblowing the trilogy and the whole saga make sense now

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2014)

Bilbo and the Dwarfs have reached and reconquered Erebor. The old Dwarf kingdom is filled with gold and jewels, and is strategically placed in middle earth so of course the Humans, the Elves, the Orcs will go to war for it. They all have different reasons to want Erebor, some more legitimate than others, and it leads to a big, impressive, entertaining battle.
The film is awesome, thrilling, action packed with epic nicely choreographed and CGI-ed battles. It's waves after waves of amazing battle scenes and storytelling. It's not just epic battle scenes, the movie also pulls on your heartstrings, the drama is at its peak. The heartbreaking moments made sense and did not overtake the story and turned it into a depressing movie. I was sad but satisfied.
The cast was really good, they all had their moments, I'm now more familiar with the Dwarfs because they had more substance, they were no longer extras in this big movie. Richard Armitage was so convincing as Thorin. He managed to annoy me with this character and bring me to almost hate Thorin before reeling it back to a point where I respected the character and sort of liked him in the end. Martin Freeman is The Best Bilbo that could have been cast. Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving and Christopher Lee were great, it was the best unexpected scene ever and it completely make sense with the Lord of the Rings.
I'm not a sucker for love interests or love triangles in movies but Kili (Aiden Turner) and Tauriel (Evangeline Lily) were one of the best part of the movies. I said it before, I'll say it again, I'm glad she was added to the movies, it wasn't such a sausage fest with her in it. She's badass, interesting, and helped make the movies better. Their love interest added to the drama and apprehension during the movie.
The Hobbit series is done and we now have a six movies saga that you can dare your friends to watch with you in one day. Anyway if you want to discuss the movie tweet me @wornoutspines I'll be glad to talk movies
