The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

As if the first two films weren't bloated enough...geez. It's the shortest yet most bloated film of the three. It also uses CGI to such a shockingly ridiculous amount that you start appreciating how much work (i.e. less use of CGI) went into the Gondor battle in Return of the King - which is very similar to the climax in this film. Smaug also disappears at a drop of a hat, which makes the cliffhanger of the last film lose all meaning. It does have some enjoyable moments here and there, but it's mostly an unengaging CGI blob of a film. Undoubtedly the worst of this trilogy.

Also: greed is bad, you guys. Really bad. Greed = bad. GREED IS BAD. Got it?

2.5 out of 5 armies too many.
