THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES (EXTENDED VERSION) REACTION - FIRST TIME WATCHING

The discussion centers on the conclusion of the Hobbit film trilogy, specifically "The Battle of the Five Armies." The hosts reflect on their emotional responses to the film, expressing sadness over the end of the franchise and discussing the differences between the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings trilogies. They note the significant character deaths in the Hobbit, which they found more impactful than those in Lord of the Rings, and appreciate the film's epic battle scenes and character arcs.

They highlight standout moments, such as the battle on the ice and the return of Radagast, while also expressing disappointment over the limited development of some dwarf characters. The hosts engage with listener questions, comparing the endings of both trilogies and sharing their preferences for characters, with Bilbo emerging as a favorite from the Hobbit series. They conclude with a light-hearted discussion about future projects, including a potential Star Wars series, and emphasize their enjoyment of the journey through Middle-earth.
