If I’m a little honest here, the Hobbit movies are something of a mixed bag. The original Lord of the Rings trilogy was something of a masterpiece, with large parts of the story sacrificed to make a smoother film-going experience. But the Hobbit is one story stretched out to three films, in an egregious example of Hollywood greed.
Still, the Hobbit movies so far have been somewhat enjoyable, with Desolation of Smaug much more enjoyable than the first, so hopefully The Battle of the Five Armies will be much better. It certainly looks that way from this epic trailer.
I don’t know about you, but I’m expecting a five film Silmarillion depiction when this is done…
