ok so the argument has been throw out there that the hobbit films are on the same level as the star wars prequels. and i just need to be clear that i don’t think they are, some parts come really close to that, but on the whole they’re not that bad. the Hobbit films are made with love and care for the source material…with that said, the biggest issue with these films is that they’re filled with padding. horrible, boring, padding. as i said on my previous one review, this did to need to be 3 movies, but the Hollywood machine demanded a new trilogy. so i don’t really blame Peter Jackson for the final outcome, and i don’t think he went full “Lucas” , but part of me wishes he did thou. at least this way i would have been…an unexpected journey (hehe see what i did there).
The “Battle of the Five armies” felt like the longest, shortest battle ever. to start , i said the Smaug bit should have been at the end of the last one, me and my friends were pissed about that, so we were expecting to be some mayor event in this film. but Smaug get kill in the first 10 minutes, very anticlimatic. for a film full of padding i imagine they were going to pad-out the dead of Smaug. the rest of the film is basically one big fight, consisting of Orcs, dawrves , elves, humans, eagles, War bats, and giant war worms. that sounds like one epic combo for a battle, yet all it got out of me was a very un-energetic “meh”. i guess not feeling much for that characters really didn’t help. and Legolas continues to be OP, but he was always OP even in the original trilogy so ill give them points for consistency. special shout to Lee Pace as Thranduil, i enjoying watching as he chews the scenery in everything hes in.
but as expected. there is now a fan edit out there that meshes all 3 films into one epic film. i have yet to see it but i assume that this may end up being a more enjoyable experience. check it out if you can
