The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

This is another movie in the Hobbit movie series by Peter Jackson based on the books by J. R. Tolkien and a pre-quel to the Lord of The Rings movies.

In this movie Bilbo and his hobbit friends are forced to battle a large group of evil creatures to help defend Lonely Mountain but he looses alot of friends in the process.

This is a good movie if you have seen the other Hobbit movies. It is rather long, but I give it a 3.5 out of 5.

Starring Ian McKellen (The Hobbit movies, The Lord of the Rings movies) as Gandolf, Martin Freeman (The Hobbit movies, Hot Fuzz) as Bilbo Baggins, Richard Armitage (The Hobbit movies, Captain America: The First Avenger) as Thorin, Ken Stott (The Hobbit movies, Shallow Grave) as Balin, Graham McTavish (The Hobbit movies, Rambo) as Dwalin, William Kircher (The Hobbit movies, Our of the Blue) as Bifur, James Nesbitt (The Hobbit movies, Bloody Sunday) as Bofur, Stephen Hunter (The Hobbit movies, Ladies Night) as Bombur, Dean O'Gorman (The Hobbit movies, The Almighty Johnsons) as Fili and Peter Hamleton (The Hobbit movies) as Gloin.
