The Hobbit The Battle of the Five Armies Synopsis: From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed the vast wealth of their homeland, but now must face the consequences of having unleashed the terrifying Dragon, Smaug, upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.
As he succumbs to dragon-sickness, the King Under the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield, sacrifices friendship and honor in his search for the legendary Arkenstone. Unable to help Thorin see reason, Bilbo is driven to make a desperate and dangerous choice, not knowing that even greater perils lie ahead. An ancient enemy has returned to Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide-unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends as five great armies go to war.
“The Hobbit” Trilogy tells a continuous story set in Middle-earth 60 years before “The Lord of the Rings,” which Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson and his team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” Ian McKellen returns as Gandalf the Grey, with Martin Freeman in the central role of Bilbo Baggins, and Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield. The international ensemble cast is led by Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans, Lee Pace, Benedict Cumberbatch, Billy Connolly, James Nesbitt, Ken Stott, Aidan Turner, Dean O'Gorman, Graham McTavish, Stephen Fry, Ryan Gage. The film also stars Cate Blanchett, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, Orlando Bloom, Mikael Persbrandt, Sylvester McCoy, Peter Hambleton, John Callen, Mark Hadlow, Jed Brophy, William Kircher, Stephen Hunter, Adam Brown, John Bell, Manu Bennett and John Tui.
It broke my heart to hear Peter talking about how he knew people didn’t like these movies and how he considered it a personal failure if people saw a movie they didn’t enjoy...I absolutely loved the hobbit trilogy and still will. I just wanna give him a hug
I ADORE THE HOBBIT MOVIES AND THINK THEYRE PERFECT
I totally love the hobbit movies even more than LotR. So well done ❤️
I just now finished all three a few moments ago for only the 9,000th time ever. People who don't like the movies I'd encourage them to go watch something else. I love everything in these movies.
I really love the Hobbit, these movie that I actually watch first and know first than lotr (I'm 20 y.o) it's awesome movies, the story, scenery, character, actor
These trilogy makes me more interested with jrr Tolkien novel/books
*LOVED IT* as well.
I am a chronic watcher of these 6 movies. I have never been bored. Every scene is exciting.
Same .
same here also. my favorite movies (only extended version!)
I really hoped the one word that sums up the experience for Andy Serkis would be 'precious'.
selin t haha, yes, that would have even more brilliant! :-)
I love Martin's aggressiveness lol
😂
'Peter and Ian and anyone else that has children'
Ian looks confused and Martin suppresses a laugh, awkward moment haha
Martin with two kids and Ian with none:
I love Martin Freeman ,he has got such a funny dark humour
The only good part about Hobbit
1:58 Lee Pace pure soul "swing my sword around and" (and we can here Evangeline going "hehehe!!!") my God she has a naughty mind 😊
I came here for Lee Pace
Thatlotrgirl who didnt hahah
You're not alone gurl
Same...
So am I 😂
Ohh he’s gay sadly 🤷🏼♀️
Lee Pace is adorable!
DAMN!!!! pace. armitage and evans are all incredibly good-looking men on this dais.
ahaha ON WITH THE "ARMITAGE ARMY" and anyway.. what was that lady elf always looking at Rich for, ehehhh??????? =___= great cast...!! great films, great director and last but not least GREAT BOOKS
Emma Woodhouse I will rip her eyes out. 😀
"I like to grow and expand inside Bilbo"
same
Haze Jett Poxleitner that’s wen everyone’s minds went south
Hey it's 2021! I was 2 years old when the Lord of the rings released and I'm 13 years old when The Hobbit was filmed and I'm 23 years old now. Peter and Ian was right. We watched this movies in a new experience. I really loved it. I cried when I finished all the six movies. It's feels like I'm part of the movie.
True, it really has been a part of our whole lives right? :)
Thank you Peter Jackson and all the actors, and the crews, for creating the Hobbit movie and Lotr movie. I know there are haters out there who are disappointed with the hobbit, I still consider it a good movie along with Lotr.
"24 hours of joy" has never been a bigger lie when you know you will cry over these movies lol
but that's what makes them so good
Jesus
Thanks for putting this up, I adore lee pace, he's one of my favs since ever i started watching The hobbit, I always had that more attention side to him. His character as "King Thranduil" Is The Top of them all. If i ever Had the chance to meet Lee pace, It would Make my life Better. I literally meant it.
Hi chain sou, so glad you enjoyed the video and hope you get a chance to meet Lee Pace one day! :) In the meantime you can see our short interview with him at the premiere th-cam.com/video/-zDEwLkRcu8/w-d-xo.html
***** Ill be Glad to, Thank you very much,*!
I am so agree. I always adore martin and Ian. And I just oh stunning every words and acting of lee pace as i found treasure!!
pinyahongzx Exactly!!!!
Coming back to watch this interview again after so long was a joy. Sir Ian McKellen especially never failed to put a smile on my face with his words being as iconic as Gandalf's themselves. It was a privilege to be able to experience the classic world of Tolkien and Middle Earth visibly, and Peter Jackson, as well as everyone involved both on and off camera, have never failed to do the books justice, no matter what some people say about the Hobbit trilogy. This journey has been as eventful as the Quests themselves, and it will never truly be at an end. Hopefully one day we will be able to see the extensive tales such as the Silmarillion performed to an equally effective extent, but for now at least I feel I can be content with the amount of love and dedication put into both the writing of the books and the creative, difficult adaptation of them.
I love Martin! He is so cute! xD
Sir Ian McKellen, one word....AMAZING!
I came here for Richard Armitage💞💪😍👏👏👏
Peter's reaction when Richard says Pinot Noir. Well Richard is known for his liking of wine.
I'm not the only one crying, I'm not the only one crying!
We need more The Hobbit movies WITH THIS CAST!!!!😭
richard armitage is a giant in real life...
Love Orlando♥️
I Love Orlando Bloom!!!!
Who doesn't
Love all 6 movies and the idea that it's worth fighting for the light at the end of the tunnel.
Expand inside bilbo. OMG MARTIN.
05:20
Martin is amazing
He really is!! :-)
The Hobbit wouldn't be the same for me if the Tauriel character wasn't created, Evangeline Lilly you're the best!
Peter, we want to see those deleted scenes, unused for the Extended edition of the Lord of the Rings :
- Fellowship of the Ring : additional footage from the Battle of the Last Alliance (and maybe add Lee Pace’s Thranduil into it), an extended Council of Elrond (dialogue from the Council of Elrond, such as Gandalf explaining how Sauron forged the One Ring)
- The Two Towers : Arwen and Elrond visiting Galadriel at Lothlórien, Conversation between Elrond and Arwen in a library in Rivendell, after Arwen decides to wait for Aragorn. Elrond leaves saying “You gave away your life’s grace. I cannot protect you anymore”
- Return of the King : further epilogue footage, with endings for Legolas and Gimli, Éowyn and Faramir's wedding and Aragorn's death and funeral. Also, to give context for Wormtongue killing Saruman, and Legolas in turn killing Wormtongue, it was to be revealed Wormtongue poisoned Théodred. The final scene cut was Aragorn having his armour fitted for the Battle of the Black Gate by the trilogy's armourers, which was the final scene filmed during principal photography, and others.
We know you stated that you would like to include some of these unused scenes in a future "Ultimate Edition" home video release, also including out-takes.
It would be great if you would be able to revisit the cut of all 6 movies in the near future, do an "ultimate cut" of the 6 movies and integrate those scenes I mentioned back in the movies (instead of deleted scenes). You would also be able to reshoot the "Bilbo finding the Ring" scene from Fellowship of the ring, replace gollum from the shadowy scene in the Mines of Moria (from Fellowship), add more Balrog vs Gandalf fight (as you wished in the first place when you thought about the sequence but you didn't have the means and budget for it at the time), integrate Thranduil in the Battle of the Last Alliance, etc. (as did George Lucas with Star Wars afterwards).
Cheers! :D
32:35 i’m going into movies and production design because of the effect that these particular trilogies had on me growing up and still have to this day. i’m going to school for it and work in whatever i can wherever i can. i found my passion through these. peter is doing it right.
Omg Martin! I love this man so much, his sense of humour is exquisite. :)
Peter Jackson!!! You have certainly inspired me want to become a filmmaker. Thanks for giving us all the films you have made !!!
4:51 I replayed that. 10,000 times
WHY CANT THEY JUST STAY AS THEIR CHARACTERS FOREVERRRRR.I love them both ways just makes me sad
anyone else notice martin sort of smile at 22:25 when the man said "I've got a question from my 10 year old son, Hag" ?? xD
Want. To. See. More. Middle. Earth. “The Tale of Beren and Lúthien” “Unfinished Tale” AND “The Silmarillion”
And children of hurin
Lol Orlando Bloom really is an Elf, he doesn't look like he's aged at all. Which can be good, especially in acting.
As soon as I get the extended Battle of five armies DVD, I'm watching all of them

Better than these usually are.
Gasparagus Productions Thanks!
Nobody could have played Bilbo Baggins but Martin Freeman- his expressions, just everything about him so relatable, funny, cute, honorable and a Barrel-rider. Love him & that character he created.
"Uhm Orlando"
Orlando : "hello love how's it going"
* *no answer* *
NOW... MAKE AN ELF TRILOGY YAY!
I was waiting for Andy to burst out at the end, in his golem voice saying, "PRECIOUSSSS"
such a wasted opportunity :P
Oh my god Martin.
can't wait to see the film! I'll miss this so much! :(
MARTIIIIIIIIIIN!
I'm sure you'll enjoy it - we did! :-) Btw, in case you're interested, here's our non-spoiler review: th-cam.com/video/QdhNHIiyssk/w-d-xo.html
The movie is so awesome that I watched twice! (And still not enough) haha. I grew up with Lotr and have the whole set of DVDs at home. I seriously love all the casts and so glad that some of them are able to continue their roles in The Hobbit. I definitely love Thranduil in this movie. Lee Pace is perfect for that role like really. Legolas is as cool and beautiful like 11yrs ago as elf. I love everything about these trilogies. Thanks Peter Jackson, the crews and casts for everything ;)
To all Lord of the Rings fans! Do we want this movie back in the theaters again? Do we want to feel they joy that we had back then? Do we want the nostalgia back in our souls? Do we want to make more people happy for what we have had back then? If The Titanic will reappear in 3D why not as well The Lord of the Rings? If you love this amazing movie, post it on every LOTR video to announce that this saga is NOT DEAD. IT SHALL NOT KNOW THIS TERM! Who is with me?COME, ON! LETS GET THIS THING ROLLING RIGHT NOW! SPREAD THE WORD! POST THIS EVERYWHERE SO EVERY TOLKIENITE MAY SEE IT! MIDDLE EARTH WILL SEE THEATERS AGAIN, ONE LAST TIME!!
I love Lee
Martin Freeman and Billy Bloyd are very similar in terms of looks and their characters also have a bit of similarity. Hobbit and Lord of the Rings are such a amazing films and they won't be forgotten. This cast is amazing. Yes Bilbo got happy ending despite the fact that he needed his belongings back but his quest didn't claim life from him like Frodo did. Bilbo was able to settle back into his old life but Frodo couldn't, He went through too much torment and suffering. Ring claimed a lot of things from. From Hobbit I guess that my favourite is the Battle of Five Armies and from Lord of the Rings it's Two Towers however it's hard to pick 1 from both Hobbit and Lord of the Rings because all films were amazing. Wonderful music and all of these beautiful locations. I don't know but this beautiful story and I love how it been made. I don't care which character was in book or not.
The tolkien estate must allow another movie one of these days, for the sake of all their fans =)
Please Sir Peter J. make the Silmarillion or other Middle earth movie(s) =) and thank you for everything so far !
I'm looking forward for the the hobbit 3, seems completely mindblowing with all the battles :D
Will the battle be comparable to the battle of the return of the king ? its a difficult task but maybe it will :P
Joao Diogo I don't think you'll be disappointed!! :-)
***** yeah, I bet I won't :p, btw, do you know if the movie was shot in IMAX ? or in IMAX 3D ? and HFR ? =) tyvm in advance
Joao Diogo The movie was captured in 48 FPS (you should be able to find screenings in both that or 24 FPS), but not in IMAX, as far as I'm aware. IMAX cinemas are screening the film though. Hope that helps! :-)
EDIT: The movie IS, indeed, mindblowingly awesome :D (watched it on the 16th December =p)
EDIT:EDIT: Watched it again in January 2nd ! =D
Dunno why but I liked even more to watch it for the second time :P!
Maybe because I could focus in some details and reasons for some events that I wasn't able to notice/understand when I saw it for the first time.
A really awesome film. In my opinion this was the best of the three, even though all the movies of the trilogy are formidable! :D
I'm not late, i just want to say Martin is fu..ing amazing !!!
Peter when I was in college in 1966 through 68 the Lord of the Rings came out and I devoured it and then the Hobbit came out after that. It’s so funny how the books and now your movies were reversed but somehow ironic I remember, enjoying the Lord of the Rings more than the Hobbit and glad that they came out first as I might not have been so anxious to read the LOTR afterwards. Then I read the whole series every 10 years or so. I’ve got to say you really nailed it. My imagination was never betrayed as I watched your movies and your actors and actresses were so spot on. I just adore them all especially Bilbo, Frodo and Gandalf. Thank you so much for making the films and don’t you ever for a moment feel anything but pride at what you have done. These movies will live on as long as there is a way to show them. You are just so adorable. I must say it was great to see you work yourself into the movies ala Alfred Hitchcock. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your life. You definitely deserve it.😘
Haha I got the trailer for The Five Armies as an ad for this video. I love it :D
haha, perfect! :D
Same!
LEE PACE.
Lee pace😍
Good seeing that Ian McKellen was able to be there.
25:00 Really love his answer here, he put that into words really well
thank you Petes and the rest of the Crew for creating wonderful reasons for me to carry on LIVING.
Thank you Peter for directing the Hobbit you did a great job
Peter and his tea... xD
It honestly could just be me, but P. Jackson seems SO over all the attention, the "thank-you"s, the praise, and most of these questions. He seems to be exuding exhaustion, impatience, and boredom more than anything else. I don't want to sound accusatory; the whole thing must get redundant after ~15 years. It's just unfortunate that he can't seem to enjoy it all more at this point.
Great interview, regardless! Awesome line-up of people!
He just finished three movies that were filmed in a row + getting ready for the premiere of the last one. That means that he barely had any sleep throughout this whole time. You would seem annoyed and ,,over it" too in his place :)
Emmay864 I agree.. cut Peter a break. He's more tired and exhausted than you can imagine and he's still there answering random questions.
I'm biggest fan off the Hobbit and I'm 27 year old my mum son I can Hobbit film I learned to read Hobbit book in my daily age
Why no one said that Richard look just like Hugh Jackman. And I know what ? He really do!
My crush Martin💕💕💕 I'm in love with his acting and voice..btw I saw hobbit 💯 times😄😄
Loved listening to all their thoughts and I wish they had been so rushed!
I loved this movie ( The hobbit) alooooot every time i watch it i see something special in it and enjoy watching it love you alllllll 🌻🌻
Once a Smeagol, always a Smeagol, Andrew Serkis!
Thank God! Peter Jackson came back and finish up the story
haha I loove martin freeman. :) oh good lord, I still have a hangover. I wana come back to middle earth,
I Love Orlando Bloom!!!
Thorin my handsome King you are the most handsome man ever♥️ and your voice is dark chocolate...sexiest voice ever😉♥️♥️♥️♥️
one of my favorite movies, great story!!!!!
He did his Star Wars voice at the end :)
yay!!!
Throne Talkناسالغوان
The cast is just rock solid.
the hobbit movies are my favourite
Omg! Peter is soo sweeeat! His reaction when he was called byname like hmmm🤣
I love that word ... "anthropomorphize". Trust Andy Serkis to utilize it within his vocabulary. 😂 Seriously though, the guy is one of Hollywood's greats.
best movies ever made by far I bought the trilogy about 6 months ago I watch these movies every weekend
I would love to see Peter direct "the hunt for Gollum" and " Born of Hope" there are allot of stories that could be told without ever going into the copyrighted area that the Tolkien family are with holding from the film industry. Just stories based within the Hobbit and Lord of the rings time frames.
Ryan Gage looks so good outside of his annoying character that he plays, I didn’t even expect it lmao
Richard ❤
Well, here it is July 26 2021. This is old news but new news to me. I have watched
all 6 movies in order several times, and I am so grateful for these movies and stories.
It would be so wonderful if Middle Earth really existed. I would move there immediately.
Missed opportunity for Lee to say Precious at the end
5:34 listen to Ian in the background LMFAO
Similarion should be a movie eh?
Funny how no one was interested in Orlando Bloom. He had to make up his own question to answer...
I love Martin infinity 😂😂😂😂
what about second breakfast?
wonderful interviews!!
so excited for the final movie!
We certainly enjoyed it - and here's our non-spoiler review!! th-cam.com/video/QdhNHIiyssk/w-d-xo.html
9:16 and they did a wonderful job at that. I was 10 when the battle of five armies came out but I’m just watching the movies now and I’m watching the hobbit movies before the lord of the rings, and the lord of the rings feels like a sequel to the hobbit rather that the hobbit being the prequel in all the best ways. (I would go into further detail but I don’t like typing)
23:00 😂 His face and the zoom in! Hahaha!
leave it to Andy to mention Benedict... :)
Well we have seen The Lord of the Rings triology, and the Hobbit as well, i would like to see they make at least one more triology but like more about the dwarfes and elves and their rival, and all happening in the same timeline as the lord of the rings, there are so small info of dwarfes even lesser the elves, it would be so amazing and the top peak of Tolkiens journey to see that kind of triology...
Sir Ian Mckellen just described video games :) 40:00
