‘The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies:’ Check Out This Massive Banner
In terms of box office, this Winter comes down to two sequel:The Hunger Games: MockingJay Part 1andThe Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Well the first onereleased a trailer todayandPeter Jackson’s epic isn’t far behind. They’ve revealed a massive, massive banner for the film that’s basically the equivalent of seven new Hobbit 3 posters. Check it out below.
Thanks to Warner Bros. (viaComing Soon) for the image. Click on it to see it much larger:
In this banner, you basically get the whole movie. You’ve got Smaug’s attack, the plight of Gandalf versus the Necromancer, Bilbo’s internal struggle, the fate of the Elves, the actual battle of the Five Armies including the Dwarves all ready for war, and Gandalf and Bilbo ready to fight as well.
Considering we’re just three months out, you’d think anticipation for the third and finalHobbitmovie would be higher. However I feel like audiences are a bit burnt out after the last two films, both of which had their moments, but ultimately didn’t satisfy. you’re able to read my reviews ofAn Unexpected JourneyandThe Desolation of Smaugat those links.
On the other hand,The Return of the Kingwas – in my mind – the best of theLord of the Ringstrilogy and I think the simple factThe Battle of the Five Armieshas an actual ending will make it more satisfying. What do you think?
