Watch Full Movie, Why ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ Is the Worst Peter Jackson Hobbit Movie [Movie Review]

 

Every time Peter Jackson returns to Middle Earth,Watch Why ‘The Hobbit Full Movie we expect something special. All of his Lord of the Rings films got Best Picture nominations and while The Hobbit films haven’t lived up to the achievement of the first three movies, they’ve had their moments. In my reviews of An Unexpected Journey, and The Desolation of Smaug I found things to like about each film, despite their flaws. So, following the trajectory of the first trilogy, I hoped The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies would be the best of the bunch. Imagine my disappointment to find out it was the opposite. Below, read our Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies review.

 Here are the reasons why The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is the worst Peter Jackson Hobbit movie. Return of the King vs. Battle of the Five Armies When Peter Jackson last concluded a trilogy, he made one of the best films of all time. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King is a masterpiece. It’s a film I’ll watch and get emotional about any time it’s on. That’s because not only does it work as a fantastic cap on a great story, it works perfectly as its own story. There’s a beginning, a middle and, a few, ends. All of the big action and emotional beats are earned within the movie you’re watching. The fact you have two movies with these characters before hand only bolsters that fact. A character like Aragorn or Frodo is a different person not only from the beginning of the trilogy to the end, they’re a different person from the beginning of the one movie to the end of that movie. The way the film stands on its own, even more so than the previous two films, is what makes it so special. I say all of this because The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies does none of that. It fails by doing exactly what it’s supposed to do – being the third act of a story. The film is 144 minutes of almost non-stop action with no real arc. It has some dazzling excitement but it fails to resonate because it all lacks emotional weight. It’s as if Jackson took what should have been the final 30 minutes of his movie and stretched it by two hours. What you’re left with is a very beautiful, suitably exciting film that feels completely empty.
