The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

CriticsCritics: 59
AudienceAudience: 7.5

After a dragon’s attack devastates Laketown, a hobbit and a company of dwarves face competing claims to a mountain’s treasure from nearby men and elves. As a vast orc army approaches, former rivals must consider an uneasy alliance to defend the mountain and the wider realm from looming darkness.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you want grand fantasy battles and sweeping Middle-earth adventure; Not for you if you prefer tighter stories, quieter character moments, or the richer balance of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.
