Presume! you wake up one morning to find yourself inside a hole on the ground.This is in no way, a nasty hole full of worms, beetles or oozy odors.This is in fact a Hobbit hole.That means the comforts of living, luxury and belly bloating food.Which is really what these flabbergasting creatures were about! Now you are a part of them.The reason I referred them as, "flabbergasting" is because even if these wee populi are tossed into the dins of the world.They don't go to your conventional thinking.Outsmarting you in every way, these ale thirsty half-lings bring a certain beatific resonance throughout our normal lives.Certainly, "little the size, but big the heart".Brought into existence by the late great author cum poet cum philosophist John Ronald Reuel Tolkien.Their tales are all the more anecdotes broaching on love, friendship, honor and sacrifice.Your name is Bilbo Baggins and you reside under the hill in a world created by the maestro scribbler himself.In the common tongue as it would utter from a certain wizard's speaking, "the land where the burglar resides".Let me question you then as to, what will you do if this magical chap shows up one morning asking you to tread few paths with him in an adventure?, what will you do if he sends strolling midgets into your habitation?, what will you do if he asks you to travel far to the east and assist these pygmy like companions in taking back their homeland from a certain dragon, who is abode their treasure hoard of gold? and finally asking what will you do if this unexpected journey involves several steps of peril, which I am sure you second guessed when I mentioned the term "Dragon" and "Gold"."I chuckle" and say this, why will you look to the future, when you never even bothered about the past except your Took mother's doilies and dishes.Even though your predecessor "Bullroarer Took" knocked a goblin creature's head straight off by swinging a club which traveled twenty yards inside a rabbit hole, doesn't mean you have to travel 60 years with a burden. Well, probably not in our real world, But certainly in the character forger's earth which stands in the middle realm.It is a quest which I cannot tell you about.Since, I am neither your friend nor your foe.Still, I know a certain man who if not help you with your decision, can definitely share your vision.This man's name is familiar to your head-side drums.Who? but the academy award winning director Peter Jackson himself can deliver this dilemma.
Sounds more like a sleep sinking venture doesn't it! Some will also find this kind of an imagination belonging to tiny toddlers, milk nibblers and pop suckers.To them I say you most likely didn't read the book, and if you have! you couldn't sight the sculptor sculpted by the old man.Inspired on the lines of Shakespeare's dark-genred "Macbeth".There and back again, "A hobbit's tale" is all the more tragedy then just an expedition.
Just like I said, Peter Jackson will share that vision, but in a fashion little altered down the line.Leaving the prequel one year down the calender, Middle-earth lits up around the"east city carved on waters".As the winged growler storms to stroke it to flames.Igniting bricks and toppling churches, panic creeps further towards the hill of sorcery where a benevolent lord is trying to soar back into existence while an empire sinks deeply in a lusty Kings ailment. Complications become condemnation, since immortal creatures and common men advance towards the mountain gates with substantial vanguard.Quarrels transcend to new heights, transforming into all the more altercations leaving knights, kings and warriors on the brink of desolation.Only if a hobbit steads gently into the mix with a vegabondish wizard that this battle completely blasts into aura and untameable embellishments.With a tinge fraction of romance, few touching sequences and clicking way too much low emotional trigger.The Hobbit:Battle of the five armies is a connection to the greatest epics of all time "Lord of the Rings".It is a satisfying screen nosh that is a story-teller. Atleast, the first-half sounds the same.However, things drastically evaporates on the second-half becoming an " ant hill that is ruptured ".Rush seeps in and our burglar sprints to his "me casa".Where nostalgia sets in and we are sent far back to the formation of the fellowship i.e "fellowship of the ring".It somehow feels, we where there and now back again.
You will feel complete! not with the film.Instead with the dramatis persona of Richard Armitage(Thorin oakenshield) clinging back into the frame as the "lusty king".Proves his worth and talent packing a hefty punch in this affair.Martin Freeman(Bilbo Baggins) tries to justify why he is being considered for vital roles for future projects. He feels a tad let down couple of times when scenes leave him without any dialogue and just mere non-verbal communication.Sir Ian Mckellen(Gandalf the grey) shows his mastery way too little with the staff but more, with what is offered.Orlando bloom(Legolas) reprises his role he left a decade ago for the second time to call of the affair in a grand fashion ushering the word "warrior".They rest apart from Luke Evans(Bard the bowman) and Lee Pace(Thranduil) lacks a muster on the sausage.
Spectacular CGI and score dwells courtesy(Weta) and(Howard Shore) throughout this masterpiece of Tolkien's one last time .Since, we won't have another one of these Middle-earth stories.
Lacking tears becomes an issue in the final installment of the franchise.We wave goodbye but somewhere, feel a grave vacancy in the core of our heart.Maybe "all tears are evil" or Peter Jackson considers it.
