“The Battle of the Five Armies” was a long slog, even for a guy who normally likes car chases and exploding things. Evangeline Lilly didn’t even make up for it.

Hopefully Peter Jackson has fully funded his retirement account and can stop trying to stretch simple tales into 9 hour sagas.

Well, I figure the whole thing was about the Dwarves, and the finding of the Ring was a vehicle to move the story on to the longer saga. I see it as I think Tolkein meant it to be: A history of a People of Middle Earth, just like The Silmarillion was.

And though I’ve heard mostly not-good reviews of the first two Hobbit movies, while I found them dark, they were interesting from the standpoint of, say, an archeologist? So I want the third movie so I can finish up the entire set.
