Cant wait!

The last ME film... Very sad (even if we got two more films then we should have).

A conclusion to a great franchise. I have very high hopes for this film. I was disappointed by the second one save a few scenes.

I hope this one is good.

looks good

I hope they pay for waking him up.

Can't flipping wait. LoTR and now The Hobbit are one of my favorite film series.

I don't think I can get any more underwhelmed.

Why do you hate Hobbits and black people so much?

I've been a fan of LOTR and watch the trilogy, but sometimes i missing those scene and the story, and somehow this "Hobbit" trilogy is giving back the memories of it.

Cant wait for this .

also wish they kept the old title. "From there and back again", but i get that they are trying to let the audience know this movie is action packed.

Oh another cgi battle sequence...yawn

I loved the 2nd movie. Can't fkn wait. This is going to be awesome.

The Hobbit trilogy has been padded and inflated beyond forgiveness. I'm not too thrilled for the conclusion after seeing the first and second films, even if we get to see the final battle of the five.

Lies and assholery

Meh. I got GoT. I don't need this crappy ass ME story anymore

All I wanna see is how they pad out the killing of Smaug verses the lackluster way it happened in the book.

That doesn't make sense. Maybe you should have called him "ignorant".

This basically sums up how I'm feeling about these movies now. They look like f#cking video games. And unless there is a solid 30 or 40 minutes of Gollum in the new one, I'll be in no hurry to suffer another 3 hours.

Saw it last night. Decent effort but I've never been a massive fan of Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit. The rescue of Gandalf by Galadriel, Saruman and Elrond is the best bit by a long way.

I'm also failing to see where the 5 armies come from. There's an Elf one. A dwarf one and the orc one but the rabble of humans from Laketown can hardly be called an army and unless you consider the fact that the orc army is split into two as two separate armies then by my count there's only 3 actual armies.

Still. I'll give it a 6/10. Would be more but Peter Jackson obviously doesn't grasp the concept of 'less is more'

The Five armies in the book were humans, Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and Wargs.

The Wargs though are very different then they are in the films which presents them as little more than Orc mounts.

I thought the great Eagles were one of the five and the evil forces were considered as one, you could be right though

The five armies were

Humans
Elves
Dwarves
Orcs
Eagles

Perhaps. Although I doubt their were enough eagles to constintute an army. By contrast their were tons of wargs and wargs were their own society who had allied with the goblins.

But who really knows. The evil forces could just as easily been lumped together.

I will be seeing this tomorrow and will give a quick review on here. Love these films. Sad to see them go. Hopefully, WB works out a deal so we get so see tore Tolkien films under Peter Jackson.

Just got back from seeing it. Pretty solid film and many great moments. I had some minor gripes as I have had in the past from previous Jackson Lotr films but all in all a ton of action. I won't really go into details, obviously.

The other two Hobbit films were pretty bad, but f*ck, this last one was head and shoulders deeper in to suck.

Easily the best Hobbit film. It was soooo good, the stupidly overdone CGI didn't bother me as much this time.

The ending scene where Gandalf took a seat and started smoking made me lulz.

Hands down the best part of the film was Alfred. That guy was an unapologetic c*nt, and I loved it.

Am I the only one who was kinda dissapointed with the lack of magic use by Gandalf?
Saruman fought like a boss.
Similar scenes with Gandalf would have been cool.

just got back from seeing this..


I enjoyed it a lot. I felt that the story was well written and well acted. All of the beats where the action is concerned is well worth it and spot on. Just two gripes. the first is Gandalf should have done magic a lot but thats what the extended cut is for .... the only other gripe i have is this should have been the same running time as the others . I would recommend this film to others.. I give this 8/10

Gandalf used the same kinds of magic in the other films. Saruman as the white version was just better than Gandalf the grey. Gandalf's powers and formidability have always been greatly exaggerated here by some.

Saruman completely outclasses Gandolf as usual

Best movie yet, very moving.

But yeah, pretty terrible film. I'd be disappointed but the last two were ass as well, so my expectations were tempered.

Why was it terrible, iyo?

Martin Freeman & Christopher Lee rule, but this trilogy has been just decent at the very best imo. A far far far cry from LOTR.

This is about right.

I often forget that Blax has terrible taste in films.

But I loved Man of Steel.

Man of Steel isn't a film. It's Mankind's destiny.

So is our love.

Wonderful exciting movie!

Pretty good movie, but I like LOTR more)

Jack$on learning from Luca$.

Well he already did it with the LOTR trilogy, But at least those didn't get a cinema run.

It was epic. Much better than the first 2 hobbits and the first lotr. I still think lotr 2 and 3 were better though.

Check this gem out the director himself admits as much.

Lotr and the spinoff went downhill thank heavens for Harry Potter. I'm always friggin right.

LoL, Herochat. Anywho.

The Hobbit not being as good as LoTR in quality isn't some new revelation, quano. Most people who've seen all the films will tell you this. Welcome to 2014.

How good is the extended version, exactly?

I remember RotK extension was extremely long and rich. Around 30 minutes, including new scenes and extended ones.

From what I read, TBofFA ev has only 20 minutes of new material?

30 extra minutes of Legolas defying every imaginable law of physics. I heard he pulls the fabric of space-time out from beneath some orcs in one of the scenes and they fall backwards into a black hole which Legolas then uses as an inkwell to write tales of his greatness.
