The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

Following Smaug's attack on Laketown, Bilbo and the dwarves try to defend Erebor's mountain of treasure from others who claim it: the men of the ruined Laketown and the elves of Mirkwood. Meanwhile an army of Orcs led by Azog the Defiler is marching on Erebor, fueled by the rise of the dark lord Sauron. Dwarves, elves and men must unite, and the hope for Middle-Earth falls into Bilbo's hands.

Exactly what it says on the tin - to a fault. Don't get me wrong, I like it. However, towards the end <em>'The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies'</em> definitely begins to drag quite heavily - the impact of what eventually happens did not, to be honest, hit as strongly as it could've/should'v...

After a singularly slow start to the series and despite the fact that I still can’t quite engage with Martin Freeman’s title character, I reckon that this is the best of the trilogy with some superb visual effects underpinned by a solid and characterful story right from the start.
