Released in 2014, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies serves as the conclusion to the prequel trilogy set in the world of Middle-earth. Directed by Peter Jackson, the film picks up immediately where its predecessor, The Desolation of Smaug , left off. While the book is a singular children's novel, the film adaptation expands the narrative to a grand scale, attempting to match the epic tone of the subsequent Lord of the Rings trilogy. This paper analyzes how the film navigates the transition from a dragon's wrath to a massive ground war, and how it handles the complex character arcs of Thorin Oakenshield and Bilbo Baggins.
The story starts after The Desolation of Smaug . The dragon Smaug attacks Lake-town. After the dragon is defeated, Thorin Oakenshield refuses to keep his promises to the people of Lake-town or the Elves. the hobbit 3 filmyhit new
