Battle Extraordinaire

The other night we finally got around to watching The Battle of the Five Armies.

Meh. Too perfect. Too CGI. Too much.

Peter Jackson went all George Lucas on this one.

We could do without the elves executing perfect maneuvers like they were dancing ballerinas at a recital. Compare these elves to the elf archers in the Two Towers. Those those guys had character.

We swear the dwarf king on the hog was being voiced by Mike Meyers.

Still we did like the idea of an army defending a castle and fighting on the plain outside.

We'll file that away. Maybe the Battle of Bremen in Before the Weser?

In the meantime:
