It started with an Unexpected Journey that was supposed to take Bilbo Baggins on an adventure There and Back Again. But a creative – or financial – decision was made that meant Bilbo’s expedition instead led to The Desolation of Smaug, and finally, to this moment: The Battle of the Five Armies.
It’s been a monumental effort by co-writer and director Peter Jackson, making his own unexpected return to Middle-earth to finish what he started some 16-years-ago. And this final film may be his biggest challenge yet as it has to succeed on three distinct fronts – as the finale to one trilogy, as the connective tissue to another, and as an entertaining effort in its own right. Ambitious doesn’t begin to cover it.
