Why so serious, about it?

Rating: Null/10 (11 April 2015)

O.K.Ladies, gents, let me tell you,first of all , that I read all of them Tolkien books, about this saga. Second of all, when I was younger(I am 42 now), I was really critic about movies made that were based in History or Literature, if they did not stick to the core of its font. But, once, I read an interview of a very well known director, whom I will not name because it does not have anything to do with this movie, who said "Hey, I'm not a history teacher (Literature teacher, could apply here), I am a movie maker, I wanna show something, my view". That small sentence changed my whole point of view, about these kind of movies.
This Battle Of The Five Armies,accomplishes a very good point of view about the "Smaug's plot", and respects the plot points of Thorin and his kin(Great last Thorin scene, with Bilbo, even if as far as I know, Bilbo was not there in the books). In the other hand, the movie takes many plot licences, but, it's a movie, not the book. The only thing that I can criticize it is the fact that the final battle did not really show the defeat of the ones who were defeated. ¿What did it take, 30 more seconds, of them running scared, to show?. And the end seemed kind of abrupt, in a general point of view, but many of the main characters got their "closure" . All in all. a good movie, worth to see, even if you read the books or not.
