DVD OF THE WEEK

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

This week’s DVD recommendation is the final return to Middle Earth (finally…).

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies is impressive and intermittently engaging, though sadly not durable in owning my attention.

This finale is the shortest in duration of the Middle Earth saga, yet it is the most exhausting, due to the elongated battles Peter Jackson is intent on serving us with.

There is no doubt the director is a creative dynamo, a revolutionary of CGI wizardry and a skilled translator of wonderful story-telling, Heavenly Creatures and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are prime examples of this.

Yet, the conclusion to the Hobbit trilogy does not quite scale the same heights as its predecessors. The problem harks back to the inception of the idea in extracting a trilogy out of what is a thin volume compared to LOTR. Not a mistake monetarily, but perhaps an error creatively. Nonetheless, The Hobbit is visually impressive, if not visually arresting, and it does manage to showcase a wonderful Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield.

In walling himself and his party into the Lonely Mountain to ward off unwelcome guests, Thorin displays a burgeoning contamination to his Kingship, fed by greed and resentment. Armitage’s obsessive compulsive intentions, which later transcend to devotion and courage after the monstrosity inside him is relinquished, ratify Thorin as the most captivating character aboard the story.

With that in mind, the film is worth investing in, though it must be said that the final page of the Hobbit trilogy is a spectacle, but not spectacular.
