Review of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) by Moslegend34 — 29 Dec 2014
Average. Billy Collony and Cate Blanchett were not handed big enough roles to justify their immense acting talent. While the battle scenes and CGI were of the top order, a lack of plot and an original ending hampered Jackson's finale.
The film laboured through the first half before finally clicking into gear in the tunnel of gold. While I've always been draw to the Je ne sais quoi of both series, the lack of characterisation and sudden plot shifts and even the number of armies (were there really five?) took away a sizeable chunk of the magical lustre.
5.5 out of 10.
