Title: The Hobbit- Battle of the Five Armies
Review –It’s hard not to appreciate the visual spectacular of these movies. Jackson is brilliant in his staging of the epic and the cast is always quite worthy. Freeman has really grown into the main character and how about his TV partner , Sherlock, as Smaug? All that said, I’ve probably had enough- got bored with the endless head rolling and black Orc blood. . I miss the days of the warm group aesthetic and camaraderie amongst thieves that permeated the books and early films . I’d say you should go and see this on the big screen, but enough is enough. .
