NOTE:You may heavily disagree with me on this

Rating: 8/10 (15 December 2014)

I personally really enjoyed this film. The story itself was lacking, to say the least with the romance and drama element failing miserably,but Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee and Richard Armitage all trying to make the conclusion to the Middle-Earth Saga as epic as possible was a plus. But I knew this was going to be more underdeveloped than the others with it being predominantly about the Battle of the five armies, and this is honestly a good popcorn flick with the battle being enjoyable to say the least.On the whole, this movie was quite a good send off to the middle-earth saga, despite it being one of the weaker films along with An Unexpected Journey, but Peter Jackson has made a better prequel trilogy than George Lucas and I was impressed by the action and Freeman's performance. 8/10.
