Mike Seymour of Wired, narrates this new The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies video showcasing the digital effects that Weta's artists constructed for the Lonely Mountain battle sequences, and the Laketown attack by Smaug. Weta Workshop's video reveals the behind-the-scenes work that went into designing the costumes for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies as well as the concept art they used as blueprints for the costume designs.


From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien. “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 rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town. Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic 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 stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges 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.

I'd like to see literally anybody else try to adapt this, and then compare/contrast with what they come up with to see if it's even half as good.

I never want to see this movie again. What an atrocious trilogy.

It can't compare to Lord of the Rings.

My favorite movie out of The Hobbit Trilogy.

I thought this movie was seriously amazing and it's great that the ending leads in to Fellowship of the Ring. So now i can sit back and watch all six films in one sitting.
