The new extended edition features a 20-minute longer cut and more than nine hours of new special features! Peter Jackson proves, yet again, why he’s an Academy Award-winning filmmaker with ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies‘. I’m a Tolkien fan to begin with and I loved the films beginning with the Rankin and Bass cartoons in the 70’s and I’m in love with Jackson’s additions to the, already vivid, world the author created with his written works.

After the Dragon leaves the Lonely Mountain, the people of Lake-town see a threat coming. Orcs, dwarves, elves and people prepare for war. Bilbo sees Thorin going mad and tries to help. Meanwhile, Gandalf is rescued from the Necromancer’s prison and his rescuers realize who the Necromancer is.

Besides just buying Battle of the Five Armies, you can buy ‘The Hobbit‘ Trilogy Extended Edition featuring extended editions of all three films in the trilogy – ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey‘, ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug‘ and ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies‘. The cast is exemplary as we’ve come to expect of the Hobbit films and include Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Evangeline Lilly, Luke Evans and Billy Connolly among plenty of others.
