Based on the popular novel ‘’The Hobbit’’, by J.R.R. Tolkien, the homonymous trilogy comes to an end with the third and last part, ‘’The Hobbit: Τhe Battle of the Five Armies’’. This trilogy is directly related to the ‘’Lord Of The Rings’’ (LOTR) trilogy. In detail, ‘’LOTR’’ was published in 2001, its first part, so as we can very easily see, even though ‘’LOTR’’ is the sequel of ‘’The Hobbit’’, the second one was published in 2012 for marketing reasons.

Millions of fans filled with exuberance when they learnt that their favorite film would be in cinema’s halls again. It was a director’s great move because he knew that the ‘’The Hobbit’’ already had many fans that would give their right arm to learn the story behind ‘’LOTR’s’’ exciting plot. As far as the last part of the trilogy is concerned, «The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies», brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug shows his enormous power and attacks the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to take it as Bilbo attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a deathly attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness rises on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.

As you see, it is about a movie full of adventure and action with an exciting plot that will keep you in vigilance! A lot of great characters -played by famous actors- and strange creatures guarantee you an imaginary experience and a known end, or should I say a promising beginning…?
