The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies or the five senses war?

There has been a lot of controversy about this new saga on the Middle earth series. After the movie adaptation of the "Lord of the rings" (2001-2003) trilogy and the success of it becoming one of the most beloved novel adaptations of recent era that ended with tons of money at the worldwide box office and the artistically recognition with awards including the prestigious Oscar. So with that said its no surprise that the distributor and producer were looking for a new offer, the prequel from the same author, "The Hobbit", but they decision to transform the single novel into a three movie franchise sounded as crazy as capitalism.

Now finally the journey is about to end and we are about to witness the last episode of this new chapters that can't feel longer. The plot is much simpler that its sequels: Bilbo Baggins, Frodo's grandfather journey with a group of dwarfs through middle Earth to reclaim an old city at the top of a mountain and find the kings jewel that will bring them their land back, facing a Dragon a bunch of Orcs in their way.

With almost three hours run of each movie, this last one centers on the last 60 pages of the book focusing on the battle that has been building along the last two. Humans, Elfs, Dwarfs, Orcs and Middle Earth fantasy creatures will fight for different purposes and will set the table for what we already saw at the LOTR trilogy.

So why should we keep watching this series? well if you are already invested, you probably be wondering what will happen or want to watch the final conclusion of this new adaptation, which also happens to be a well done movie thanks to the vision of director Peter Jackson, taking a second chance to go back to this beloved fictional world and beloved characters, learning from what worked in the first place and what not, so this definitely is his usual imaginary at his best. Also from the what they did on the classic novel to turn it into a movie event this is the best one and resumes the essence of the novel.

As its tittle, the movie focus on a big battle so there is a lot of action and the FX can't seem better and add a better pace to the movie than just long shots. What we miss is more character development and those majestic views of the New Zealand aka Middle Earth. But even with that we are able to get involved in this fantasy that as we know, and for all those who are not very into fantasy, this only serves as a metaphor of actual events or human issues.

So when we witness a battle between different races of this place just happens to feel very similar to any other racial fights we watch all around the globe. There's always one feeling superior than the others because their skills, knowledge and there is the one who's been always rejected cause their nature and looks less attractive than the rest, and so each one has its cons and perks.

So when everyone purpose clash in a point, a big battle emerges and will face the best and worst of all. Then comes the best part, when the emotions that lead them show off. Some will fight for love, the feeling and need to help someone you care about, relating to their cause making it personal and putting yourself on the side. Others will fight for honor, the need to show the rest how important and valuable you are, how brave and honorable person you are, a fight in everyones daily life, when you go through all this new people, new jobs, new friendships, and will find people that recognizes for what you are and who won't. What make us honorable? Doing the right thing? who gets to choose what the right thing is?

Also will be fighters, rebels, that don't know other than repression, being misunderstood  their whole lives so don't know better, the anger, insecurity will make them an easy target for leaders trying to win a personal war using others a way to get it, with the lack of a culture and a wrong sense of fighting to become something better, can easily get lost if you don't know yourself, which also turns into another fight, the battle for power, as they said knowledge is power, so if happens that you know something that the other don't, gives you and advantage over them, so instead of share it, can be use for personal purposes and the sense of that feels like power and can blind anyone, ruled only by his emotions.

And last, the most ironic one, the fight for happiness, a journey that turns not a fight once that all the above mix and things get confused. Everybody wants to get to that point where you can bring to yourself and your beloved ones the best supplies and proper education, the opportunity of do something important and helpful, that ability to enjoy moments and have a safe place and nice food. All this emotions and  purposes, are about to clash in this movie event and will lead to one of the all time cinematography events so even if you are not a fan of the classic novel, neither of fantasy sagas, this movie will definitely entertain you for less time than the rest kept you bored, and mostly you will face and witness why we all are in a journey called life than can't be described other than by experiences than can only be translate for their emotions in us.
