Immediately after the events of The Desolation of Smaug, Bilbo and the dwarves try to defend Erebor's mountain of treasure from others who claim it: the men of the ruined Laketown and the elves of Mirkwood. Meanwhile an army of Orcs led by Azog the Defiler is marching on Erebor, fueled by the rise of the dark lord Sauron. Dwarves, elves and men must unite, and the hope for Middle-Earth falls into Bilbo's hands.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A grand, sprawling conclusion that trades the whimsy of earlier chapters for large-scale warfare and mounting darkness. The focus is squarely on spectacle and the inexorable march toward catastrophe, with smaller character moments buried under layers of battle and fantasy politics.
