Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) by Manofthemoon — 08 Jan 2015
With dialogue so continually bad, it's as though Jackson simply gave up at some point or decided to build a LOTR cliche theme park in which now you simply laugh at the eagles arriving, rather than cheer them on.
Bilbo is a supporting character again and you're left simply not caring because this final part of what should have been two movies at most is sadly just boring. A glorified extended battle in which Legolas tries to relive his best LOTR moves but, in a "Game of Thrones" world, it all seems so very dated.
At times it borders on "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" or "Phantom Menace" complete with its own Jar Jar Binks. You can see why there's a petition to keep Jackson away from "The Silmarillion".
This is lazy and bloated and believes it hype. A sad end to it all. There and back again and again and again and...etc.
