Last night, Sean and I went to see The Hobbit Battle of the
Five Armies. Well, Peter Jackson has done it again. He took another book of J.
R. R. Tolkien's and painted a vivid image for us. The scenery was breathtaking, as
the combat was flawlessly executed. We almost feel it ended too quickly! It's
sad to see a series come to an end, but then the journey isn't always quite
over. Though Jackson deviated slightly from the book, he still kept true to the
story that Tolkien created. The love triangle between Tauriel, Legolas, and Kili
finally wraps up in the Battle of the Five Armies, but it seemed a bit rushed. We
only really get to see the romance between Tauriel and Kili emerge in the
Desolation of Smaug when Tauriel tends to Kili who is injured. We won't spoil
the story for you, but you may just shed a tear or two!
Our favorite scenes were of course the battle, but also the
elf army. Their movement was elegant and deadly. We also loved the death of
Smaug, and the very end. When we heard the music from the original Fellowship of
the Ring we almost cried. Our overall rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
