Movie First Impressions: The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies

Spoilers abound...you've been warned.


Let's start with the plot:
Over too quickly.
I thought the arrow he used was special...
Wait - these characters aren't played by the same guy?
Why???
The fight scenes were sick!
WHY???
He was such a dick...
...but they forgave him anyway.
'Cause why not???
(sigh)
Now let's talk casting...
Yep, that's Deathstroke.
Yep, that's Ronan the Accuser.
Yep, that's Hope van Dyne
Yep, that's Jekyll.
This guy's going to be Eric Draven?
That's the guy who killed Erskine in Captain America?
yeah...
Not a bad way to spend Christmas afternoon, but not worth owning. To me, The Hobbit should have been one film. The book is concise, tells a simple story, and even at two-and-a-half hours, could have been done.
Unlike other films...
