Farewell, Middle-earth

Many years later, when the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins recalled the afternoon he fought side by side with the dwarves, the elves, Gandalf, and the residents of Long Lake against the Orcs. At a time when magical epic blockbusters are becoming increasingly unpopular in Hollywood, this may not be the best time to say goodbye, but I have to admit that the "Hobbit" series still retains "Lord of the Rings" in terms of visual effects, art and scenery. Level. Stories and feelings are always the matter of senior fans.
Immediately after "The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug", the dragon Smaug dubbed by Volume Fu was awakened by the thief Bilbo Baggins, and another Middle-earth disaster came. However, the focus of the film is not how 12 dwarves and 1 hobbit wisely fight the dragon, but the battle of the five armies, because at the beginning of the film, the seemingly powerful dragon was shot through by the human silver sword. The confrontation between Juan Fu and peanuts is actually a big soy sauce in the film. The so-called Battle of the Five Armies is the three righteous armies of the residents of Long Lake Town, the Dwarves and the Elves against the two armies of the Orcs and the Wolves. Unfortunately, the Wolves did not appear in the film. In "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey", the deal signed by Bilbo Baggins and the 12 dwarves led by Thorin Oakshield to recover the Lonely Mountain has been completed due to the death of the dragon. It is easy to defend the country and difficult, not to mention that the country was not defeated by the dwarves at all. Because of its superior geographical location and the huge treasure that the dragon once looked after, Gushan has become a battleground for military strategists. The residents of Changhu Town come here to rebuild their homes. The noble, arrogant and evasive elves come here to retrieve their treasures. The half-orcs are fighting for the most powerful geographical location. The dwarves entrenched here, especially the series protagonist King Thorin Oak Shield, are wealthy. Bewitching and cold-blooded. On the solitary mountain, the battle of the five armies is about to start.
Sauron and the Eye of Mordor, who laid the groundwork before the story, have also come to an end. As a magical epic, the Justice League, which is played by three wizards and Cate Blanchett, plays the elven queen together against the enemy. It only fights with the shadows, relying on the elves. The queen suddenly rushed Sauron's dark power to the west. This is obviously a distance from the "Lord of the Rings" series. The Lord of the Rings that Bilbo Baggins snatched from Gollum is like a mechanical surrender, which can help Baggins through the difficulties at will. The function of the Lord of the Rings to deceive people's hearts and amplify people's desires disappears.
In the final chapter, the first half of the dwarf King Oak Shield is bewitched by the treasure of the lonely mountain. The ghost is arrogant and invincible. In the whole director's appeal, this is originally a very traditional Western storyline. Good people commit crimes because they are bewitched, but The frustration is two and a half hours in length, and the entire first 45 minutes are occupied by lengthy probation and suspicion. It was not until the half-orcs attacked that the rhythm of the whole story was truly reversed. The biggest highlight of the whole "The Hobbit 3" is also in this endless fight. Peter Jackson is still the middle-earth land. The beautiful scenery of New Zealand will still not fade due to the ugliness of the orcs. The five-army battle lasted more than an hour. Here, the macroscopic visual effects scenes, ten thousand arrows are fired, and ten thousand people go to war. At the same time, there are awakened oak shields to capture the thieves and first capture the king, and several groups of singles fight alone. It is also enough to see that the great emperor of Middle-earth took great pains, the orcs sunk in the ice finally counterattack, and the sacrifice of key characters are enough to mobilize the tear ducts of ordinary audiences.
At the end of the film, Master Baggins returned to the Shire and returned to his house. It was small and flat. I seemed to see again that three years ago, Gandalf painted a symbol, an oak shield, in front of Master Baggins’ door. Taking his dwarf brothers to eat and drink in Baggins' house following the symbols, from the deal they ordered, Middle-earth opened up again.

    It seems that I suddenly understand the mood of Transformers fans. No matter how bad the film is, I don’t want to accept the feeling that this is the last Middle-earth movie.

    I'm all watching Lee Pace's beauty. The fight is sad and anxious, for fear that the beauty will fall~ "Hero! Don't slap your face!"

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies quotes

  • Azog: Let the lands run with blood! Slaughter them all.

  • Thorin Oakenshield: Many die in war. Life is cheap. But a treasure such as this cannot be counted in lives lost. It is worth all the blood we can spend.
