Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) by Tomhug — 21 Dec 2014
A preposterous blur of incoherent fight scenes, obscenely improbable and unnecessary plot "enhancements" and re-characterisations of already strong and appropriately-constituted characters.
The only time I wasn't bored during this movie was when I was outraged at the stupid "embellishments" being foisted upon us.
I don't personally believe that the director needs to adhere word for word to the books. In fact, Mr. Jackson did such a fine job with the LOTR Trilogy, he's proved he can make excellent artistic edits for cinema. The Hobbit Trilogy has been infected by Hollywood. What a waste.
