The Hobbit 3: The Battle of the Five Armies First Reviews
On December 1, 2014, the world premiere of The Hobbit 3: The Battle of the Five Armies took place in London, and almost immediately leading Western publications began to publish the opinions of their reviewers about the picture. We invite you to read some of them before you form your opinion about what you saw in cinemas. Edition The Wrap : " Cluttered and heavily overwhelmed “ Battle of the Five Armies ” proves Christopher Tolkien is right. The 144-minute timing has absorbed the worst of Jackson's work: battle scenes of merciless duration, sloppy and too abrupt changes of plans, torn romantic scenes, comic episodes that do not correspond to the general rhythm, and something completely new, the patience of fans' fanservice. Comingsoon Edition : `` Despite some problems, this is a beautiful sight, does a good job of functions summing up, and almost not offering viewers unforgettable moments in the spirit of his predecessors … or “ Lord of the Rings ” overall. ” The Hollywood Reporter :“ After six movies, 13 years and 1031 minutes of cumulative running time (much more when it comes to on extended versions), Peter Jackson completed his massive kneeling before the altar of J.R.R. Tolkien's movie, which is perhaps the most interesting of the entire series (without a doubt, it is also the shortest of the sextet) ". Empire Edition :" A fitting conclusion to Jackson's three-part prequel and a solemn farewell to Middle-earth. Completed The Hobbit would become a worthy successor to The Lord of the Rings, although he never fully emerged from his shadow. Jackson has created a beautiful old-fashioned tale that Tolkien could be proud of, and a single, simple bow in the final episode offers a more soulful send-off than The Return of the King. Edition IGN : " In the final episode of The Hobbit there are many minor additions, and the best part is no doubt the first. But the key battle is truly exciting, and the upcoming `` Age of Orcs '' ends the story on a high emotional note. ” The Telegraph :“ The problem is that Jackson cannot convince the viewer of the significance of the moment: when every life in Middle-earth is at stake, too much emphasis is placed on individual characters. The movie has more impact than plot, and too little of it is about Bilbo (Martin Freeman), who is increasingly becoming a bystander in his own franchise. ” CraveOnline Edition : " The overall concept of the Battle of the Five Armies brings the action to the level of absurdity and goes beyond the usual " fan service " ". Variety Edition : “Although this attempt was ultimately only partially successful, now the whole project called “ The Hobbit ” easier to perceive as the fruit of Jackson's love rather than falling into empty box office opportunism. If the first two movies often evoked a feeling of the director's tireless desire to replenish his own coffers, like Smaug, then The Battle of the Five Armies; contains a series of emotional curtsies and bridges to the movies of The Lord of the Rings. Note that at the time of this writing, the RottenTomatoes portal recorded a disappointing rating for a project of this magnitude and such a level of expectation in 70 percent.
