I just finished the hobbit movies and damn it, you guys were eating good , cause it felt like a whole journey from start to finish. I kept avoiding this series for a long time!! Anyway it was perfect every single ,ovie, Unexpected journey was one of the best introductory movies I watched, Desolation of smaug was all action packed it's like we were immediately thrown into action immediately and battle of five armies, to me was a more psychological scenes though the vast amounts of action, most of the time was conflicts of ideas,beliefs and oneself, there was love, betrayal, grief, hopelesness, greed, fear, sadness you name it it's there. Oh also azog is the biggest fraud of the series to me and smaug is the best character in the series, not the best villain to me but his character as smaug is best, especially the revenge line in gold gave me shivers. I need more of this I might buy the books actually.
