The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

J.R.R Tolkien’s works exist in a complicated and expansive fictional world that can be hard to dive into.

The Lord of the Rings films held our hands throughout, gave us a nice mix of action and story, and focused on the trials of recognizable characters.

Not so for The Hobbit trilogy.

Director Peter Jackson’s conclusion to this saga will continue to be filled with interchangeable dwarves, booming noises, tons of CGI fighting, and one grumpy dragon.

Release: December 17, 2014

Rated: PG-13
