The second part of the trilogy, "The Hobbit" left gnomes and Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) with a mountain of gold, Lake District - with the invasion of the dragon, and the team of the film - with the last three pages of dozens of children's fairy tale. In searching for gold royal diamond and with the risk of losing his mind delves Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), the dragon quite quickly disassembled charismatic archer Bard (Luke Evans), after which the audience will be almost two hours of the final battle of Erebor, Lake District, gold, at the same time friendship, honor and love.
"Battle of Five Armies" - a rare case when the subsequent film is not made even worse than the previous. If the first part of "The Hobbit" was a fairy tale and elegant black box to the main epic about the ring, and the second - aimless director pandemonium based on Tolkien, the final picture of the trilogy has become a such expensive but good and clever Christmas present for children. No longer trying to outsmart himself, Peter Jackson makes a film in the age category "6+" and thus puts everything in its place. The purpose of children's fairy tale - to convey to the child the very core values, which are often forgotten adults: do not keep their word and bring friends - bad, come to the aid of friends and loved ones to protect - well, gold can not be more expensive than human life, friendship, loyalty and the courage to take the city. And so on.
This uncompromising installation on good plays in the final part of "The Hobbit" is very important. When directing team for two hours of cinematic time, in fact, one scene, it does not turn into an epic battle senseless, stuffed with special effects massacre. In the end, Battle of Five Armies get even more impressive than the battle for Gondor in "Return of the King." The appearance of the armies effectively each in its own way, the battle scenes are dynamic without unnecessary cruelty, and the elves are good in combat, so that is beyond words. King Thranduil (Lee Pace) Battle of the arrogant bastard turns into a luxury warrior, and Legolas (Orlando Bloom) once again proved to all that his kung fu is not just the best out there someone's, and all the best.
The finale of the trilogy of The Hobbit is predictable, but very nice in its immediacy: the viewer is invited to just go back to 13 years ago, and review the entire epic "The Lord of the Rings." Ring ... no, still full circle - now you can endlessly wander the filmstrip Mobius, entwined around Jackson Middle-earth. And it is in its own way very well, as they say, that the youngest son of Professor Tolkien made injunction against further adaptation of the works of his father. But he did so. However, what is not a reason to go back to the books?
