You know, the Battle of the Five Armies is just a small part of the original "The Hobbit", which was actually made into a two-and-a-half-hour movie. Many plots seem to be tasteless compared to the original. If Peter Jackson can compress the three episodes into two upper and lower episodes, put all the scenes in the lower part, and delete some unnecessary scenes, the overall plot will be much more compact.
Okay, let's discuss the plot below. . . . . .
I've already said the problem with the scenes of Brother Seraph. There are really not many scenes that Changhu Town can leave him, so he was seconded as soon as he opened the scene. Compared with the original book, the movie version has deleted an important bridge. In the original book, a human-talking bird flies from the dwarf kingdom to Bud, telling Bud the weakness of Brother Ripper, and the movie version becomes " You can see it at a glance."
In the original book, Bud can kill Brother Seramer really has luck, but the movie was changed to that Brother Seramer died himself, and the fatal weakness was exposed as soon as he flew down. The second Bilbo saw it, and the third Bud. I can see that it happened that my son sent an ancestral black arrow. Although it was too long to use, it was used for the plot. As a result, Long Ge took the lunch to close. As the most imba dragon clan in the Lord of the Rings, Brother Tears should be the biggest boss in the Hobbit series, but the movie has been changed abruptly into a nagging level-level monster. Instead, in The Lord of the Rings, it only relies on human tactics. The clan has become so imba, the leader can design to besiege the three clan, all of the troops are strong and equipped with complete equipment, HP and IQ have increased a lot compared to the Lord of the Rings, and the two boss-level orcs have also opened the Xiaoqiang mode. , Are you really a man?
The second part of the original film revision is that as a participating party in the Battle of the Five Armies, only the militiamen were weakened in the human race of Changhu Town. The Battle of the Five Armies actually took refuge in Hegu Town. As a major commercial town in the North China region, Dachanghu Town has a man and money. So Lin, you have attracted Brother Shamao and burned my house. The consequences are very serious. If I don't lose money, I will rob it. In fact, the human race of Long Lake Town still has a certain strength. In the Battle of the Five Armies, it was originally used as a meat shield of the elves to fight against the dwarves, and later together with the dwarves to fight the orcs under the ridge. After the Battle of the Five Armies, the human race was given a sub-base, River Valley Town, and Changhu Town was also rebuilt. Can the race that can rebuild the base while opening the base is as weak as in the movie?
The third major change in the movie is the deletion of the wolves army as an allied army of the orcs in the Battle of the Five Armies, and the wolves are just showing their faces. However, the wolves in the Lord of the Rings are only the mounts of the orcs, and the horses that have become humans according to the original work are also considered to be a participating race, so the changes are understandable. (But you are out of the orc wolf ride, where did the bat army go?)
My personal dissatisfaction with the Battle of the Five Armies lies in the bridge section of the elves fighting, especially the entire row that runs through the city. The elves wearing golden armors did gymnastics before the battle started, and the actual fighting bridges behind were completely compressed into the scenes of several protagonists. If you watched the second part of the Lord of the Rings, and then watched this one, you found that the elf warrior stepped on the shoulders of the dwarf warrior and jumped to the front of the battle to fight melee with the orcs. , It's the rhythm of death, is this really an elven clan? In the first battle of the Lord of the Rings, the elven army shot down a piece of the orcs. This is the elves, okay? The elves were killed and wounded, and the fighting power was completely disintegrated. The human races shrank to the streets of the valley town, only the dwarf army insisted on fighting under the mountain, crying and crying. All the alliances that were said to be deceived, in the end it was Only I am playing.
As the movie greatly weakened the changes of the human and the elves, the battle of the five armies was originally a bit evenly matched, and turned into one side. In order to follow the script of the plot, I had to modify the giant eagle to be a little more buggy. The scene where the eagle swept across the battlefield and the orcs fell one after another, this is a hobbit, it is simply a companion of the Condor Heroes.
But, the above-mentioned race and plot changes are still not an important reason why I said that the Battle of the Five Armies became a tasteless one. The movie lacks the interaction of human race, elves, and dwarves, and they are forced to retreat to the foot of the mountain. At a critical moment, Thorin takes the 12 dwarves to fight together. The Battle of the Five Armies should be the process of abandoning the differences between the three clans and finally reconciling them through the victory over the orcs. However, the movie is completely fighting on their own, and even their own protection. The Elf King said that I will not play anymore and how many Elf Soldiers are in the movie. Is it expensive for you to make. Without this plot, even if Thorin died in battle, he would only win the respect of the dwarves, but not the respect of the human race and the elves. No wonder the ending did not appear in the original book where the Elf King inserted the beast-biting sword in front of Thorin's grave (representing the scene in which Thorin won the respect of the elves through this battle, and the elves and dwarves reconciled), even if it appears, it is completely unreasonable.
I put this one at the bottom of the six. First of all, the third of the Lord of the Rings has become a classic. The Hobbit 1 and 2 are more brilliant than this one. It is not a battle scene. The second part is chatting and laughing with Brother Shaimao in Gushan, and the literary drama is so brilliant. After watching the movie and then going to see the original, I feel that the movie has restored the exquisiteness of the original. The third and final literary drama has been taken in one stroke. It is a pity that the battle of the Five Armies was tasteless. As for why the four stars were given, have you ever watched a domestic film?
