The battle of 4 Armies and 1 Air Force!!!

Rating: 7/10 (27 January 2015)

Compared with some others I have enjoyed the recent Hobbit trilogy that some fans of the novel have absolutely hated. I'm different though I love the book itself I feel the movies capture more of the Middle Earth that we wanted and showed it well. Although I was initially excited for the 3 part series this one I found was unnecessary even though I absolutely loved the action sequences in this.
The battle itself is phenomenal but even with its 45 minute runtime it still feels rushed somehow and I wanted to see more of the other characters like Dain who we see for no more then maybe a few minutes in battle. But otherwise this film was rushed Smaug's purge of Lake town was too short and far too rushed and maybe should've been concluded in the previous adaptation. Dol Guldur was clearly blitzed through which left a much anticipated confrontation a little sour in the end.
A much awaited conclusion and much loved series come to an end. Yet a few characters were made up and some side lined for a much smaller role the Battle of Five Armies does not fail to capitalize on the battle sequences but otherwise doesn't offer up much in terms of enjoyment. But even with the flaws and all the changes made from the source material the Battle of Five Armies is still an adventure worth finishing and fighting for.
