Movie AmericaThe Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies – A feast of action and a story that moves at a breakneck pace.
The showdown with Smaug, the final boss of Part 2, was surprisingly brief. It was resolved early on, and the protagonists weren't even involved in the conclusion. But what really feels unsatisfying is Thorin’s character. The noble character we saw in Part 2 suddenly turns arrogant as soon as he gets his wealth back. There’s no real psychological build-up. Thorin doesn’t even defeat Smaug himself. The moment he gets his gold, he becomes arrogant. It feels out of character for the main hero. Why? That question sticks with you. The reason given is “dragon sickness.” So it really was a sickness? But the film never clearly shows how he got sick or how he overcame it. As soon as he recovers, he rushes straight into a massive orc army. It feels more reckless than heroic. It doesn’t have the same bold energy Aragorn showed when he led the Ringwraiths to the rescue in the earlier film. This last film left me feeling uneasy. -
Movie AmericaThe Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug – Dragon’s Roar and Barrel River Rafting
The stunning scenery and exciting new battle scenes, especially the river escape, kept me on the edge of my seat. Legolas’s appearance in this film brought a wave of joy and nostalgia for fans of The Lord of the Rings. Both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings have truly fascinating stories. Even though the film is over two hours long, its careful craftsmanship keeps it engaging and enjoyable throughout. -

The action on the ship is a major attraction of this film and is very reminiscent of a Disney attraction. -

As always, the unique character of Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, "Jack Sparrow can't be replaced!" We will be able to say it throughout the future series. It was reaffirmed to be true throughout the future series. However, it is over 2 hours long and has a midway point. -

Movie AmericaPirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
It is not complicated or educational; it is entertaining and moves along at a brisk and light pace. Most of the work is done on a boat, so it was exhilarating to watch and feel like I was sailing along at a good pace.
