I do no remember the book well enough to comment on how close the film was to it, so don’t expect that in this review.

Now that that’s out of the way, I’m just going to say that it was a wonderful way to end the Middle Earth journey. It was the best of the three Hobbit movies in my opinion, in pretty much every way. You really felt for the characters and the actors did a wonderful job portraying them. The story was definitely epic, something I enjoy very much. There is one moment that I think is one of the most badass moments in movie history. The battle as a whole is wonderful and an inspiration for my own writing. I give this movie a 9.99/10, though I may be biased from my insane love of all things Arda. But really, the movie is fantastic, and if you are a fan of the Lord of the Rings movies, the ending is perfect. When you see it, you will understand.

Goodbye Middle Earth. You will forever rule the fantasy genre.
