The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has been a big part of Comic Con over the weekend, and now Warner Bros have released a rather terrific debut trailer.
The Battle of the Five Armies is the third and final instalment in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit trilogy, and is set to close the film series with an almighty bang.
The movie picks up where The Desolation of Smaug left off, with the dragon heading to destroy the people of Laketown, while Thorin Oakenshield and the dwarves are still looking to claim what is rightfully theirs.
We see Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom and Evangeline Lily are just some of the names returning, while Benedict Cumberbatch is back as Smaug.
Personally, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is one of the movies of the end of 2014 that I cannot wait to see, and it looks like it is going to be a truly epic conclusion to this great film series.
“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves.
Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenceless men, women and children of Lake-town.
Obsessed above all else, with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honour to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain.
As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is released 12th December.
