The Hobbit: Battle of the 5 Armies

[lurkerwithout]

Like all right thinking people I fail to see why this had to be three movies. But on the plus side the superfluous Necromancer stuff meant that we got a Galadriel/Elrond/Saruman vs. Wraith Kings rescuing Gandalf fight. Christopher Lee didn't really get to do a lot of ass whuppin' in the previous trilogy. Plus I really enjoyed seeing Billy Connolly as Dain, smushing orcs with his hammer and riding his battle hog. And the opening sequence between Smaug and Bard was pretty intense. Overall a good movie for a needless cash grab...
