#THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES SCREENPLAY ONLINE MOVIE#
So basically Peter Jackson took the shortest book of the set, and broke it into 3 movies, and the longest book was made into the shortest movie of the trilogy, with the movies having the following breakdown to movie length: The next book if going by word count is Return of the King at 137115 words, then The Two Towers at 156189 words, and finally Fellowship of the Ring at 187790 words. One of the big problems is that the Hobbit book was the shortest of the four books, at 95356 words. I bet you could read through all the dialogue in 10 to 15 minutes if you ignore the, , and sections. Someone should post the movie's script online. Instead we got stuck with action sequences so forced and drawn out that people just started pulling out their phones in the middle of the movie and never looked back. The characters could have been made deep, properly brought to life, and a timeless story could have been realized. The Hobbit had so much more potential than this. Seriously, I'm surprised they found so many different ways to slice and smash those orcs up. From then on it's 2-hours worth of "How to Kill an Orc" and watching completely flat characters do the same thing over and over again. 5 to 10 minutes in and the most dynamic character on the screen is wiped out in a completely unbelievable fashion. They should not have killed wyvern Smaug as part of the title sequence. It easily is the worst movie I've seen all year. Only the men seem to have forgotten who the king of Gondor was. Aragorn was well known amongst the elf folk. Though Legolas was not in The Hobbit he would not have needed to go looking for Strider/Aragorn in that time frame. Ok, so they lost and got banished to Middle Earth but you get the picture. They were a race so powerful they challenged the Valar (gods) themselves. He's part of the last bloodline of the Numenoreans - not quite immortal but close enough. Long story short: Aragon isn't really human. But wow, no closure at all after introducing so many important characters. I didn't mind bringing back the LOTR alumni solely because I could see the value in watching this "prequel" directly before Return of the King (except for Legolas needing 60 years to find Aragorn, who didn't look quite that old in "Fellowship"). It was empty calories, not memorable at all, and not something I'd ever volunteer to watch again. Much like Transformers 2, I left the movie theater quiet and with nothing to say.
