Is this really Tolkien’s work? It’s a shame really because Peter Jackson is a very good film maker but he needs someone to curb his excesses and pull his focus back to the narrative when he becomes too enamoured with spectacle. It may well me cunningly contrived and well-staged but it seems tonally out of place. Jackson tries to mitigate it’s over the top nature with a little slapstick humour. As ever with his treatment of violence, Mr.
If you are familiar with Peter Jackson’s earlier work such as Bad Taste and Braindead, then the splatter and CGI gore that has been added to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies will come as no surprise. It does however add a lot more orc based violence. Compared to other entries in the extended trilogy, this is the weakest as it really doesn’t add any major plot or narrative improvements. There are moments of substance buried within this ponderous expanded edition but they are few and far between. The extended editions once again attempts to address these deficiencies but sadly out of the twenty minutes of additional material that has been added, most are extended action scenes. As a result it had many unresolved story lines. The theatrical edition of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies was light on plot and heavy on action sequences.
