The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

I am glad to have shared in your perils, Thorin. Each and every one of them. It is far more than any Baggins deserves!

Well it dawned on my wife and I that we hadn’t seen this film despite having seen the first two instalments of the trilogy. The fact we hadn’t even noticed or cared for 8 years says all you need to know about The Hobbit really.

Needlessly long, devoid of any soul and jam packed with filler. Some slick visuals don’t save this from being a bit of a stinker.
