Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) by Meok91 — 01 Jan 2015

This film is sadly all style and little substance. While I am not a huge fan, I saw and enjoyed the first two hobbit movies, they were entertaining and well executed. This film is where the cracks began to show, there is simply not enough source material in one book to make these three movies, at the very most two movies would have been enough.

While we do get the ending to the story it is after nearly three hours of what feels like stalling, the first fifteen minutes of the movie are the best imho. This really felt like a money making exercise to me.
