Mountain problems

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

Directed by Peter Jackson this sequel stars Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage and Evangeline Lilly. A dragon is unleashed on a town of men and armies duke it out for the riches of the mountain.

Essentially this entire film is cleaning up matters left over from the last film then fully about the title battle. Clearly the battle is spectacular and of the standard we have come to expect from Peter Jackson in Middle Earth but at times it does descend into a bit too much CGI for my taste. A little more character development would have been nice but the film does round out a trilogy well.


4/5
