Lots of action and fighting

Rating: 5/10 (21 February 2015)

This movie "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" 2014 is a movie about groups of people that are all interconnected and through arrogance and self-righteousness many of the single armies seems to not want to join the other armies - even though it is clear they share similar interests. There is a pathos within the film, one of rivalry, negotiations and coming together. The evil forces, are like in the movie Alien, where the evil is so evil that there is no realm of sympathy with the monsters - and in this movie, like in Interstellar, all the good forces seem to prevail. This movie is a good distraction from everyday life, but there is a lot of action, special effects, army scenes and in a way it is like Inception with it's Escher-like maze building and high mountain vantage points - as well as this movie had features of The Matrix in it - like a magic character running along rocks while they were falling down dozens of meters to the ground and surviving. All round a relatively fun movie to watch.
