This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The best of three, I managed to watch it in one breath, but I'm still not thrilled. The whole trilogy leaves the impression of a pale copy of the "Lord of the Rings".8/10

The best of the trilogy, the most amazing and breathtaking one

Picking up after Hobbit 2, the dragon has been tricked into giving up his gold and he is very angry. Therefore, he decides to punish Laketown again and burn it to the ground, killing all. However, Bard (Luke Evans) has a magic arrow and one chance to fell the fire- breathing beast. He does so, hooray! But, some have been killed and part of the town lost. Now, however, there is a new threat. Thorin (Richard Armitage), the leader of the dwarfs, does NOT want to honor his promise to share the treasure. This leads to a great battle of five armies, including the cretin-like Orcs, dimwitted but strong. Gandolf cannot immediately help, as he has been captured by a powerful necromancer. Yet, the eagles free him and the armies begin fighting. Which army will prevail? Who knows, but Bilbo just wants to go home. This exciting "last chapter" has some strong scenes of violence, which may not be suitable for the youngest viewers. Especially impressive is a battle on an icy, mountainous terrain. In general, good defeats evil and it is a joy to watch Bilbo (Martin Freeman) return to his meadow home, only to find he must stop the auctioning of his possessions, as the town gave him up as lost forever. Having seen the world, Bilbo rests peacefully in his rocking chair, with a special memento from his journey, a memento which will be important later. Again, actors, scenery, costumes, story, and direction are entertaining. No, these fantasies are most likely not the "cup of tea" for all but don't miss out if you get the chance to view it.

When I see these movies I feel something is missing that where present in the Lord of the Rings movies which made those movies, even though they also had their faults, so much better. The films feel very stressed, like they are rushing through without any pause. There are very few scenes whore the character just sit and talk or walk and talk without anything really happening, where you can learn more about the character and the world. Lord of the rings had a lot of those scenes which I liked. There are instead a lot of extra action scenes thrown in which could work, but I feel it is a bit to much. The atmospheric slower scenes are removed for more action. Then some scenes which could have been really good are just cut short. Like when they are with Beorg or lost in the forest.I think its OK to trow in more characters an focus on Legolas more. I think the best character in the whole movie is the Elf king. I love him so much. But one thing that I strongly dislike is that many of the Dwarfs have very few lines and you don't really get to know them during all 3 movies. I remember the scene towards the end where you say goodbye to all the remaining 10 Dawrfs and I remember thinking: "who are some of these characters?" I hardly remember who some of them look like or who they where. In that sense I think its to much focus on other aspects around the Dwarfs quest that the quest itself which makes the story feel like its all around the place. But I think there are some really good and strong scenes in this movie, but the movies all and all is missing something.
