Synopsis
Peter Jackson takes cues from the appendices of The Lord of the Rings to expand New Line Cinema's Hobbit adaptation with this third film completing the epic tale of Bilbo Baggins, as played by Martin Freeman. The story opens to find the vengeful dragon Smaug (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch) decimating the peaceful hamlet of Laketown as Bilbo, Thorin (Richard Armitage) and the rest of the dwarves lay claim to the Lonely Mountain. But their celebration is short-lived as Thorin grows obsessed with finding the Arkenstone. Meanwhile, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) Elrond (Hugo Weaving) and Saruman (Christopher Lee) battle the Nazgul in an attempt to free Gandalf (Ian McKellen), and get some unexpected help from eccentric wizard Radagast (Sylvester McCoy). Unfortunately for all involved the struggle has only just begun, because as armies of dwarves, elves, orcs, humans and goblins converge at the base of the Lonely Mountain, the fight for the future of Middle Earth begins. ~ Jeremy Wheeler, Rovi

Great Movie!
Excellent 3D
March 21, 2015Peter Jackson has made optimum use of 3D technologies. Each film in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series has been visually gorgeous and totally immersive.

Excellent
March 24, 2015Everyone's a critic! The book was dragged into three movies that do not do the book justice, however, the three movies, especially this one are far better than most of the cinematic garbage coming out these days! The graphics, effects and story are awesome in the finale! Enjoy!

Much better than theatrical release
November 22, 2015This is much better than the theatrical release! Why didn't they release THIS version in theaters? Feel bad that Peter Jackson had so much pressure to get these films out and then decided to bloat the story with three movies instead of two. Decent film but as you all know, LOTR was heaps better.

A fitting end to a mediocre trilogy.
May 2, 2015The Hobbit Trilogy has been a mixed bag. Mostly overstuffed, overly stylized, but with some fun scenes. Peter Jackson is barely able to keep his needlessly sprawling story together. It would literally take less time to read The Hobbit than to watch these three films. This final film is nothing more than a protracted battle sequence to wrap the three films up. It's thrilling at times, but it's mostly tedious. Bilbo as a character takes a backseat to all the action in the film and that's kind of a shame seeing how this series was supposed to be about his journey. Somewhere along the line, PJ forgot That The Hobbit in question was Bilbo and that these movies were supposed to be his story. He was clearly more interested in making a Lord of the Rings prequel than an adaptation of The Hobbit. All that said, none of these movies are without their moments and can be enjoyed for what they are.

The Best
March 25, 2015This is by far the best of the hobbit trilogy. It directly starts off where The Desolation Of Smaug ends and completes Bilbo's tale. Tons of action that keeps you glued to your seat. If you enjoyed the first two then you will love this.

Can't Wait
March 25, 2015Have all of the Rings, and Hobbit movies. Most are in 3D. Can't wait to pick this one up today, and watch on my new 65" 4K Sony.
