The Hobbit: The battle of the five armies

January 21st , 2014

I was finally given the chance to watch the final movie in the Hobbit trilogy. Well I had to treat myself with something good after a long LONG Fall semester right.

Anyways, so last night I finally watched the last part in the hobbit's trilogy and boy wasn't that grand?

I've watched the "Desolation of Smaug" back in August 2014, and couldn't wait for the last part so I decided to watch the trailer that was out for "The Battle of the five armies" and darn the comments that spoiled the whole thing for me. I mean I watched the trailer and couldn't help but scroll down and read the comments and like the readers of this trilogy they spoiled the finale. I was told everyone, literally everyone would die. Holding that spoiler for months now, I was super happy that not everyone dies, but that doesn't mean I didn't cry a river for the ones that actually died. Since this is my personal blog, then I think I have the right to express how depressed and devastated I got at the scenes where Kili and Fili got killed! Then came the part where Thorin got stabbed after killing the head of the Orcs, I mean why...WHY? Bilbo just broke my heart and not just that, it was and awful ending to the 3 part journey. I mean throughout the entire series all the dwarves were together with Bilbo & Gandalf, then at the very end when they got their hometown back, the main players in that game are dead. Bless their little dwarf hearts but that made me cry like..a lot. But again we do not expect a happy ending do we? Well I've learned my lesson now and surly we do not always get a happy ending after all. 

The thing I was waiting for throughout the movie was the appearance of dear Frodo, but then I thought to myself and said  "Frodo was not there when all this happened , it was Bilbo back in his strong youthful years" .

Aside from that, I literally got goosebumps when the battle actually started, it was such a strong approach and the Orcs, god they scare me..they really do I. I mean ever since the hideous looking creatures from "The Lord of the rings", the people that actually assembled these creepy characters deserve something like really huge! They did such a fabulous job creeping me out and this always gets me to think " How did the actual Hobbit writer think of these people like back in time". It's just astonishing to be honest, it sort of boosts my confidence to actually be creative in my own way and not think normally, and that's a very positive thing. 

One last thing, I'm kind of at it now that the Hobbit trilogy is perfectly over but I can not not mention the Elves and their grace. The Elves are just another story to this glamorous trilogy, they are just graceful tall skilled creatures and I had to praise their super accurate assembly during their battle preparations. That was amazing! A million props to that!

And that's a wrap to the one and only Hobbit dear old Mr. Bilbo Baggins.

The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey

 

 

August 17, 2014,

It took me a period of 3 days to fully watch “The Hobbit” and comprehend the entire story. I never thought I’d actually understand what was going on, but now that I’ve spent that much time although it wasn’t necessary I get it all.


Now I must say that it’s one interesting different story. Considering the fact that it was written a very long time ago, I find it quite impressive that the author was able to visualise and write about such marvelous world. I have to admit that I was blown away by the entire series,from “The Hobbit” to “The Lord of the rings”. Something about the plot,set and characters make me too attached to the movies, as for the books I think I’m going to challenge myself to at least read one of the books because I’m very curious as in terms of the language, and the writing in general. Part of it was written during WWII so that adds to the excitement and challenge to read one of the books.

I'd like to talk about the Goblins, Orcs and all the scary non-human creatures in the movie. The fact that they've come to life from the book is just breath-taking. Now I haven't read the book so I don't really know how they're described, but to bring them to life with each out standing out "in a scary manner" is amazing and that adds to the list of why this movie is worth it.

Moving on to Bilbo, god Bilbo Baggins, I just can't get him out of my head, Hobbits are really something!! I mean I remember the scene in the movie where all the Dwarfs pile up in his house back in the Shire, speaking of the Shire..I'm suddenly up for the LOTR marathon..this is not good!

One last note....don't you just LOVE the scene where "Bilbo" is running across the Shire and yells "I'm going on an adventure!"  

Okay , I’ll meet you people in a few days with another review covering the 2nd part of “The Hobbit”


Cheers,
