So I just watched The Battle of the Five Armies and I loved it as well. I even don't mind the Kili/Tauriel romance. Bearing in mind that The Hobbit predated The Lord of the Rings by about a dozen years, I very much enjoyed how incidental points like the Necromancer, later implied to be Sauron but never developed in the story or in Tolkein's mind till later, are tied so well together. I'm going to have to watch the LOTR films now, and I'll have to reread the books I think.

Oh, and I wanted to say that I think Martin Freeman as Bilbo is far superior to Elijah Wood as Frodo. Frodo was never terribly compelling in in the films in my mind, but was supported by more interesting and noble characters like Samwise.
