Monday Reviews: The Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies

The last Hobbit movie is just pure fantasy action. The dwarfs, elves, orcs and men men of the lake go to war over the treasure of Erebor. I think that the last movie was really good despite a lot of changes from the original book. Moreover, there are those who hold the opinion that three films are too much for adapting one small children's classic. However, the Hobbit films, like the book, are just fun. If you want traditional epic fantasy then the Lord of the Rings fits that description perfectly.

Peter Jackson's interpretation of Tolkien's work divides opinion. However, if you want to read the original story then what are you waiting for? Both the Hobbit and the Lord of The Rings are brilliant fun and epic books to read. The movies are good to watch as well, especially with family or friends.

My favourite part of the movie is the scene where Sauron and the Nazgul are expelled from Dol Guldur by Galadriel, Elrond and Saruman. (oops a spoiler) I highly recommend watching this movie and then re-watch Lord of the Rings and if you have not already read the books, release your inner geek.

Though I liked the movie, I liked LOTR Return of the King more, so my rating is 8.9/10.
