Watch The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Online Free PLOT: When news of the ultimate destruction of Smaug spreads throughout Middle Earth, Thorin reclaims his crown as the King under the Mountain. However, the many treasures the lonely mountain holds brings together a number of armies to fight a bloody battle for the newly restored fortune.
REVIEW: It seems only yesterday audiences were waiting with bated breath for the final chapter in the LORD OF THE RINGS saga. And yet, there and back again we are waiting for what is most likely – at least for now – the final chapter in Peter Jackson’s magical
world of Middle Earth and all its inhabitants. And happily, the end is one that will certainly please fans who continue to root for Bilbo Baggins. Aside from finishing off where THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG ended, this final entry is an extended BATTLE OF FIVE ARMIES and it is thrilling, funny and especially for the fully initiated, bittersweet. As much as LOTR: THE RETURN OF THE KING seemed like an end – a few of them actually – this truly feels like a farewell to arms for the series.
After an opening sequence that is surprisingly short, we find the city of Esgaroth [Lake-town] in fire and ash from the destruction of the beastly Smaug
(voiced terrifyingly by Benedict Cumberbatch). Those who survived the attack seek shelter and the promised treasure that Thorin had vowed to give them. However, the King under the Mountain has given in to dragon-sickness and betrayed his friendship and loyalty searching desperately for the legendary Arkenstone hidden within the vast treasure Smaug had so selfishly kept. Of course we know who really has the stone. Yet it is not only the Dwarves and those in the neighboring city that desire the gold. As the title suggests, other armies have assembled to claim the wealth and will gladly turn to war and death to procure it. And so the battle begins, and ends, here.
