Selling copies of the ghost of a comrade

I thought the Battle of the Five Armies would be a grand epic on par with The Lord of the Rings 3, but after walking out of the movie theater, I felt like I just watched a Middle-earth version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Transformers - full of visual stimulation coupled with empty boredom You can't say it's a bad movie, it's just another popcorn movie to pass the time.

From the perspective of popcorn, the film doesn't really portray the Battle of the Five Armies much, but instead focuses on the two BOSS battles. Although the BOSS battle is also very exciting, the audience who expect to see scenes such as Rohan Cavalry VS Mammoth Group can wash and sleep. The layout of this film is quite small, even the imposing Wan Jian Qi in the trailer. None of the shots made appeared in the feature film. The large group of bat monsters in the orc army basically have few shots in the war. The only purpose of the director's design of this species is to send the little leaves to the commanding heights for a gorgeous personal action scene.

The boss battle is far less exciting than the previous barrel rafting battle, and the special effects of Xiaoye Ye's anti-gravity leap of faith are extremely scumbags, which can only be seen in low-cost movies, and the whole movie theater is bursting with laughter .

Then let's talk about the plot.

The biggest problem with this film is that the characters in it Nothing seems to make sense. Since the movie is called The Hobbit, let's start with Bilbo.

In order to peacefully resolve the labor dispute between the dwarves, elves, and humans, Bilbo stole the Arken gem that Thorin talked about all day long. As a result, Thorin insisted on summoning an army of dwarves, and the war was still inevitable;

Bilbo ran to remind Thorin of the existence of another army of orcs. But Thorin and the others did not retreat in time, and they still fell into crisis, which was the same as whether Bilbo came or not.

Summary: The protagonist Bilbo didn't even have a penny in the promotion of the story, and there doesn't seem to be any problem with deleting this character.

Similar characters include the elf girl and the second-in-command of Changhu Town. As a very boring and completely useless character to advance the plot, the second-in-command's role is far more unexpected.

=================

The name of the movie is the Battle of the Five Armies. At the end, I found that the Five Armies are actually scum. A bunch of eagles appeared out of nowhere, and they cleared the scene in two rounds just like the chengguan beat the peddler. This plot directly turns any individual's efforts on the battlefield into a joke and has no impact on the situation.

For example, Sorin ran to catch the thief first to catch the king. Later facts proved that it didn't matter if he didn't go, anyway, the eagle would always come to clear the field; when he went, he fell into the opponent's trap, causing his family of three to die.

The elf girl was busy for a long time, but the beloved man was stabbed to death.

The eagle laughed in the sky: you stupid xx, what are you doing all day long.

===================

The plot of the first half of the film is basically driven by a series of irrational actions after Thorin's "dragon disease", offending elves and humans At the same time, he also summoned his own army of dwarves, so there was the so-called Battle of the Five Armies later. After the five armies were assembled, the screenwriter felt that Sorin's mission had been completed, and he could start shooting big scenes to fight chicken blood, so inexplicably, Sorin's "dragon disease" was restored.

This is too convenient for him.

In fact, I really like Comrade Sam's last speech in The Lord of the Rings 2. It not only strengthened Frodo's will to give the ring, but also successfully turned against the second prince of Gondor. I understand so well why he was turned against him. After listening to that speech, my eyes were wet.

In The Hobbit 3, Thorin almost stood there and meditated on his life for a while, and with the bizarre special effects, he completed the transformation from a neurotic to a normal person.

Let's recover, let's see how King Thorin can turn the tide. It's a pity, as I said above, the only result of Sorin's decision when he is sober is to kill his family of three; and the decision he made when he is not sober has attracted a lot of "you can see them at a glance" A potential ally who won't really start a fight at all, otherwise the Orcs might be able to take down the Lonely Mountain with a single charge.

===================

I don't know how the original book was written, anyway, after watching the movie, I felt that the screenwriter's idea was obviously:

We just need to figure out a way to put the five armies together, and we can make a movie with amazing visual effects!

How to get together? Let Thorin go mad when it's time to go mad.

How to make Ghostly Mind Sorin back to normal? Who cares, let's say he is normal and he is normal.

The movie is called The Hobbit, what about Bilbo? Force him to put in some useless scenes, the meaning will do.

How to let the protagonist win with his own efforts, wisdom and courage? This problem is too complicated for him, let the eagle come out and wash the ground.

Too bad, really too bad. This level of script is simply selling copies of comrade soul possession.
