The Argument of the Five Mobs

Rating: 6/10 (17 February 2015)

The Battle of the Five Armies is even worse than The Desolation of Smaug and at the bottom of Hobbit Trilogy. It seems that Peter Jackson didn't want Hobbit movies to outcompete the LOTR Legend same as he didn't want to make it as trilogy. This movie literally fell short of the expectations. Real reason of disappointment is not only related with this movie but with all the series. First movie was promising but after disaster of second movie, expectations were even higher for the last one because it was a good opportunity to save the trilogy with the all epic stories in it. Comparing war scenes and choreographies of one to one fights with the ones in Lord of the Rings would be unfair. They were botchy and far away of being magnificent as we expected. We can call the movie The Argument of the Five Mobs more than a battle of armies. Low class and unnecessarily long one to one fights are covering more time than they should. I would watch an old Van Damme movie if I wanted something like this. Nothing is enough to describe how much I felt disrespected. Love scenes, stupid comedy element which you all understand without saying, blockbuster movie tricks, absence of big battle and ignoring some important characters are not as awful as the worse part. Thorin's scene when he understands golden's power on him and fighting against it should be a joke. For Peter Jackson who filmed Boromir almost in same situation in LOTR it was unbelievable and he own an explanation to us. This was the funniest scene I have ever seen this year and it took the all dignity away. I understand the concerns of producers and I accept that Peter Jackson shouldn't stick to the book but mocking with us in this way and making a movie for box office just ruined the Hobbit image in our minds. Fortunately we had Galadriel.
