Just to Finish Things off: Battle of the Five Armies
*sigh*
It isn't one continual battle, but it feels like it is. And those individual battles go on and on and on and on.
At least Richard Armitage gets to show some acting chops, but in the main this is so effects heavy it is almost Michael Bay-ish in places. And so doom laden that, to be quite frank, when Billy Connolly's Dain made his entrance he had us commenting, "Now that's my idea of a Dwarf!"
The fight in Dol Guldur was, to put it frankly, hilariously bad. So was Orlando Bloom.
Smaug's death was wasted.
And what the heck happened to the fifth army? I must have blinked and missed them.
Look, Peter J, if you want to remake Tremors go get the rights.
Is that the entire justification of the inclusion of Radagast? Because if so, he wasn't at all necessary. And this demeans Eagles, who in both 'The Hobbit' and 'LotR' do not need a wizard to decide what they ought to do.
I liked the goats, though.
And Bilbo was a bright spot.
Ina commented, at the end, "Why don't we watch LotR again now." Well, it will take the bad taste out of my mouth.
