The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies
SCORE: 60
The Hobbit trilogy of movies finishes off with The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies. We purchased a DVD when it went on sale locally. I was curious to see how Peter Jackson would wrap things up. I have not read the book in some years. I remembered certain things. The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies has a battle that just keeps on going.
There is plenty of blood, death and gore in The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies. In fact decapitations seems to be a preferred way of death in this movie. There is also some bad language and lying in The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies. I don’t recall any enticement to lust images. The core of The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies is the fighting.
The dragon gets killed early on in The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies. Lake-town is destroyed in the process. The town turns to the dwarves in the Lonely Mountain for help, and their share of the gold. Elves show up and want some jewels that are precious to them. A dwarf army, an orc army, and a goblin army all appear. The orcs and goblins want to kill off the men, dwarves and elves. The other three are there for the gold.
The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies has an important lesson about being content. Do not chase after fame and/or fortune. The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies also shows us how horrible war is. Another lesson in The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies is fighting is the only way to stop those serving evil. They won’t stop because you ask nicely and give them whatever they want.
I enjoyed the special features on the two disc set we purchased. The Last Goodbye music video is exceptionally well done. It is also a wonderful tribute. The other bonuses are behind the scenes that are fascinating to see. It is great to see this series finish.
