The Bite Magazine - Issue 11

89 / 302

Following title changes and a long wait, the final part of The
Hobbit trilogy is almost here. After Smaug left Bilbo’s world
devastated, the small hobbit with big ambitions looks set to
face off against Benedict Cumberbatch’s dragon and prevent Smaug
from incinerating the whole of Middle Earth….if he can.
Originally to be titled There and Back Again, director Peter
Jackson felt that this was inappropriate, following the events of The
Desolation of Smaug. Instead it focuses on the climactic battle of the
film, which sees Bilbo and his friends taking on an army of vicious
Orcs in a struggle to survive.The film reunites the characters from
previous films including Martin Freeman as Bilbo, Richard Armitage
(Oakenshield), Evangeline Lilly (Tauriel) and Orlando Bloom’s
Legolas.Having built up to this finale in the previous two instalments,
Peter Jackson has definitely saved the best for last.This final battle
may have been a long time coming, even more than Frodo’s search
for the One Ring, but it’s one that’s definitely been worth waiting for.
Released Date: 17 December 2014
