The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, previously known as The Hobbit: There and Back Again, is the third and final film in the three-part cinematic adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien's classic fantasy novel The Hobbit, directed by Peter Jackson and adapted for the screen by Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. It was released in December 2014.Beginning immediately where the prior film ended, the Dragon Smaug unleashes his wrath on Laketown, Gandalf remains a prisoner in Dol Guldur, and the Necromancer's forces prepare for a war to wipe out the free peoples of Middle-Earth once and for all. Amongst the chaos and flames of war, friendships will be tested, hearts corrupted, and the forces of good must overcome their distrust of one another and unite if they are to save Middle-Earth from the ultimate evil.Battle of the Five Armies is also the final film for both Christopher Lee and Ian Holm before they died in June 2015 and June 2020, respectively.

In the theatrical edition we never actually see the fate of Alfrid, also a Canon Foreigner, implying that he is a Karma Houdini. The extended edition gives him a Karmic Death instead.

comment
Age Lift: An interesting example. At the end, Thranduil tells Legolas to seek out Aragorn, who is already a well known Ranger. According to the timeline of the books, he would only have been ten at the time. However, Aragorn was apparently born earlier in the moviesnote the movies cut out the nearly 20-year Timeskip at the start of Fellowship, but Aragorn still gives his book age in Two Towers, so the math still checks out.

comment
Bloodless Carnage: Compared to, say, Boromir or Théoden from Lord of the Rings, the deaths of Fíli, Kíli, and Thorin barely have a bloodstain between them. Probably justified in-universe, as the Dwarves were hewn from the stone and the earth. The Children of Aulë may not bleed like the Children of Ilúvatar.

comment
Rasputinian Death: Bolg is impaled through the brain. In the extended version the blade is then twisted for good measure, his body falls several hundred feet off the cliffs and is then crushed by falling debris (as if to emphasize that he's dead for sure). Azog likewise takes quite a bit to be killed, such as being cut repeatedly during his fights, getting tossed into icy water, and finally getting Impaled with Extreme Prejudice shortly after he stabs Thorin.

Heroic BSoD: Thranduil has one seeing his slain kin littering the streets of Dale. To clarify, in the backstory his father Oropher was slain in the War of the Last Alliance, he himself was heavily scarred by the fire drakes of the North, and we learn that his wife was taken to Gundabad to face a dire end (there is no grave, Legolas says). And then his son, his only remaining family, tells him that he would rather fight than stay safe. Thranduil breaking down at that point is, shall we say, quite understandable. Bilbo has one after Fíli's execution by Azog, and a total breakdown when Thorin dies.

Negated Moment of Awesome: At the beginning of the battle in the extended edition, dwarf chariots charge into the fray, and seem set to wreak havoc among the orc army. While we do see them kill several orcs, Azog responds by deploying Ogres, who destroy all three chariots and kill the crews in less than a minute.

 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_19ebe383
comment
Never Trust a Trailer: A number of battle shots shown in trailers didn't end up in the movie. Most are restored in the Extended edition. Thorin's "Everything I did, I did for them" from the trailer didn't end up on the big screen. The battlegoat cavalry charge, the catapults, and the battlewagon on the frozen river are missing... from the theatrical release. In the extended cut it's how Fíli, Kíli and Dwalin catch up to Thorin in order to go after Azog. The full Elven army shooting arrows all at once? Not in it. Gandalf's "How shall this day end?!" never appeared outside of the trailer.

We All Die Someday: Thranduil says this about the Men and Dwarves who will die at the hands of the orcs and uses it to justify why he doesn't care that they will be killed, so long as his Elf subjects are not sacrificed in the battle. Tauriel calls him out for thinking Elves are better and more important than everyone else, just because they're immortal.

Royals Who Actually Do Something: The White Council — whose members include some of the most powerful individuals in Middle-Earth — join forces to assault Sauron, the Nazgûl and his fortress at Dol Guldur. Thranduil is perfectly willing to armor up and lead his troops into battle. His son Legolas too, of course, who gets arguably the best fight scenes in all the movies. Both Thorin Oakenshield and Dáin Ironfoot lead charges against the orcs, and Fíli and Kíli are right at their side the whole time.

Failed a Spot Check: Alfrid is put in charge of the night watch and reports all clear. Bard sarcastically confirms that it's clear... except for the entire elven army just outside the walls. Apparently, no one noticed Azog and his signallers setting up a giant semaphore tower before the battle started, on top of a hill visible from pretty much all the battlefield, the city of Dale, and the gates of Erebor.

Good Is Not Soft: Galadriel is one of the wisest, generous, and most compassionate beings in Middle-Earth... but she's also one of the only beings in Middle-Earth strong enough to go toe-to-toe with Sauron himself in what can best be described as, "Fury in physical form." Pretty much every good character in the film fits this, from Bard to Saruman to Thandruil.

Chekhov's Gun: Subverted twice. We see Bilbo receive his mithril shirt from Thorin, and are told that it'll block anything. It will chronologically, but this time around Bilbo is knocked out by a blow to the head. Back in The Desolation of Smaug, Laketown was shown to have a windlance, which combined with a black arrow could take down a dragon. Smaug destroys it during his rampage and Bard is forced to improvise.

comment
Adaptation Expansion: The film actually shows the titular battle, whereas in the book much of the battle happens off-screen, as Bilbo gets knocked unconscious partway through and wakes up three days later after the fighting is done. Original character Tauriel gets a prominent part in the battle, and in the end Bolg is killed by Legolas instead of by Beorn. The fight of the White Council against the Necromancer is depicted, a scene inspired by "The Quest of Erebor" in Unfinished Tales. (Inspired by, not really from, since Jackson and co. didn't have full rights to those and were writing around copyright.) Despite this being the film that expands on the novel's events the most, this trope is also combined with Compressed Adaptation. The final chapter-and-a-half of the novel focuses on Bilbo's peaceful journey back to the Shire, stopping at Beorn's house and Rivendell along the way and saying various goodbyes to people he'd met, whereas the film omits aspects of the journey and condenses it all into a little over five minutes.

Only Sane Man: Gandalf has filled this role throughout all the films, but he gets to his wit's end after fruitlessly trying to convince a haughty Elven king and two overly stubborn Dwarf lords that their common enemy is about to launch a major war against them all.

Post-Victory Collapse: Galadriel is so spent after her fight with Sauron that she begins to sink to the ground, and has to be supported by Elrond. Thorin does one as well after finishing off Azog for good. Unfortunately he was stabbed in the chest by the latter just before this happens.

Hypocritical Humour: Bard tells Alfrid to get to work by giving him wood to carry. Alfrid then gives it to a woman already carrying wood, telling her "Pull your weight." During Smaug's attack on Laketown, the Master, in his effort to flee, has his guards push away the people struggling to get on his boat, all the while lamenting "If only we could save these poor people!"

comment
Artifact Title: Only four armies are present; the dwarves, the elves, the orcs and the men. Adaptations have been writing around this for decades.note Tolkien's original plot notes had seven armies in all; the battle's title coming from the five "good" armies being dwarves, elves, men, eagles and bears versus the two evil armies of orcs and wolves. In the book proper, the dwarves, elves, and men each make up one army and the orcs and wolves are counted together as the fourth army. The eagles were then the fifth army, as there was only one bear. The director considers the orcs to be two armies — "the Orcs of Dol Guldur, and the Orcs of Mount Gundabad" — as an excuse for leaving out the eagles.

Also, the orcs after the initial assault. Thorin Oakenshield is charging his army at the tip of a wedge, without headgear, keeping his shield as far away from himself as he can, and no single orc is ordered to shoot him? Where are Bolg's Morgul arrows when orcs really need them? Also, the eagles can just swoop in and fell the majority of Bolg's army without getting shot at. The eagles did fear "great bows of yew" after all.

Digital Head Swap: Dáin's appearance is managed by placing Billy Connolly's face (or what of it is visible under Dwarven facial hair) onto an actor's body. Exactly why this was done is unclear, though Connolly is known to be suffering from early stages of both prostate cancer and Parkinson's disease — rumors are circulating that he was too unwell to appear in full costume, but the directors thought his performance was too perfect to recast. It's also possible that, as a man in his seventies, it was simply too strenuous and physically demanding to perform in the many layers of armor required for the role.

Batman Gambit
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_38d02d44
comment
Batman Gambit: Azog's timing for the arrival of his second army was apparently based on the assumption that Thorin would attempt to infiltrate his own command centre. In a larger sense, Gandalf's plot to kill Smaug leaves Erebor (a critical strategic position with a literal mountain of treasure) up for grabs, drawing every greedy pair of hands within a week's travel. But if he hadn't done so, Azog would have joined forces with Smaug and started a conquest of Middle-Earth. So Gandalf had to use both applications of this trope to prevent that; use the gold to draw the Orcs, Elves, Dwarves and Men to the same place at the same time, then hope that the races that weren't completely psychotic would unite against their common foe rather then just devolve into "everyone versus everyone else."

Foregone Conclusion: Anyone who's read The Lord of the Rings and/or seen the original film trilogy knows that, far from defeating Sauron, Saruman's going to join forces with him. Bilbo, Gandalf, Legolas, Galadriel, Elrond, and Saruman all face life-threatening situations, but we know they'll survive the movie since they all appear in The Lord of the Rings. And that Sauron himself escapes the destruction of Dol Guldur and returns to Mordor. We know Balin survives this as he's killed in Moria (as well as Ori and Oin).

Curb-Stomp Battle
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: Elrond and Saruman defeat the Nine pretty easily, but its still a dogfight and they only engage one or two at a time. Galadriel banishes all of them at once, simply by raising her hand. While it drains her almost to the point of unconsciousness, it doesn't take Galadriel long to utterly whup Sauron's ass. The crowner has to be from the Extended Edition, where Galadriel saves Gandalf from a big orc who was torturing him. With a single wave of her hand, she obliterates the orc so thoroughly that his mates could have buried him in a mop bucket. The initial part of the battle goes rather badly for the Men, Elves, and Dwarves, with much of Dale overrun by orcs, Dain's forces being cornered against the gates of Erebor, the Elves forced from the field into Dale and all but wiped out entirely. Only when Thorin recovers and the Company joins the fight, does the tide begin to turn. Once the eagles join the fray however, they almost single-handedly turn the tide against the orcs and bats, who were gaining the upper hand due to their sheer numbers.

Blatant Lies: Alfrid claims that he tried to stop Laketown's Master from fleeing with the treasury. Absolutely none of Laketown's residents believe him and he comes very close to being torn apart by an angry mob before Bard shames them out of it. After everything's said and done, Bilbo claims to have lost the ring when called on possessing it by Gandalf. Gandalf clearly doesn't buy it. Early on in the film, Bolg meets up with Azog to bring him up to date about the hunt for Thorin, explaining that the search was derailed by elves. When Azog asks what happened to the elves, Bolg states that they fled like cowards. When we last saw him in the previous film, Bolg was the one running away from a pissed-off Legolas.

Bittersweet Ending: Smaug is dead, Erebor now belongs to the Dwarves again, the people of Laketown resettle in Dale, Azog and his son Bolg are dead and their armies scattered and defeated, Sauron loses Dol Guldur, and Bilbo returns to the Shire with a small chest of treasure. However... Laketown is destroyed and hundreds have perished, many more also died during the attack on Dale and the Lonely Mountain with thousands more that follow during the Battle of the Five Armies; Thorin, Kíli, and Fíli are dead (and Tauriel is left mourning for Kíli after realizing that she truly loved him), Thranduil and Legolas are estranged, and Sauron is merely banished back to Mordor where he is explicitly stated to start rebuilding his army (and thus endangering Gondor). Also, Azog's personal "mission" of snuffing out the Line of Durin may have succeeded since he killed Thorin, the king, and his two nephews, Kíli and Fíli. The only other relative mentioned was Dáin Ironfoot, who is Thorin's third cousin.

Spoiler Title: That humans, elves, and orcs will go to war over Erebor is established before the eponymous Battle of the Five Armies begins, but the arrival of dwarves and second Orc army to the battle is treated as a twist, even though anyone can count that two of the five armies are still missing. This was partly due to a title change. The film's original title was There and Back Again in reference to the novel's alternate title.

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: As Thorin becomes increasingly unhinged, the rest of the Company begin defying him. When Thorin orders Bilbo thrown from the wall for giving Thranduil and Bard the Arkenstone, none of the Dwarves comply. When Thorin tries to do it himself, the rest of the Dwarves try to stop him. Later, when Thorin orders them to not join the battle so as to protect the gold, Kíli eventually just up and shouts at Thorin that he's not going to stay in hiding, though Thorin is back to normal by this point.

What Could Have Been: In-universe example: The opening when Smaug annihilates Laketown effortlessly makes Gandalf all the wiser for wanting to get rid of him before he could join up with Sauron. Remember those pitched battles at Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith from the original Lord of the Rings trilogy? Put Smaug on the villains' side, and neither of those battles lasts more than minutes. An unproduced sequence mentioned in DVD extras would have had Gandalf seeing Smaug leading Sauron's forces in a Palantir vision.

Gory Discretion Shot: Presumably; the fate of one particular orc who tries to kill Gandalf, only to be dispatched by Galadriel cuts away for his demise, implying a fate unfit for a PG-13 rating. And it was — that orc's on-screen demise was one of several gorier scenes that got the Extended Edition of the film slapped with an R rating. A number of moments during the battle itself also fall under this. Foremost among them is the close-up of one orc's face, shortly before the camera pans up as Dáin brings his hammer down.

Gold Fever
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_4a2059bf
comment
Gold Fever: After Smaugh's death, Thorin proves to be at least as nutty as his grandpa, degenerating swiftly into a paranoid recluse who would rather die than give away a single coin of the hoard. Thankfully he snaps out of it during the final battle. A line from Balin implies that treasure that's been part of a Dragon Hoard carries a genuine curse called "Dragon Sickness" that drives the treasure's new owners to behave much like a dragon — paranoid, greedy and murderously possessive. While Thrór fell to dragon sickness on his own, it's hinted by Thorin's behavior and even his speech mannerisms becoming more like Smaug that the decades he spent sleeping in the hoard had cursed Erebor's treasures and that curse was consuming Thorin.

comment
Body Horror: Numerous Orcs, notably Azog and Bolg, have extensive parts of them replaced or supplemented with metal parts, in such a way that it almost hurts to look at. Of particular note is that Azog has switched out the claw in his stump for a blade, which means at some point either he or one of his followers yanked that claw out and shoved the blade in. Special mention goes to the troll Legolas rides just before his duel with Bolg, which has its shins and forearms replaced with crude-looking prosthetics, in addition to having eyes pierced with chains so the orcs can steer it.

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Bilbo claiming the Stone as his payment doesn't make any sense, since his contract was to get a share of profit on specifically returning the stone to Thorin. In the book it was just the recovery of the treasure and Thorin's claim to the Arkenstone amounted to yelling "Dibs!" when they were sorting the hoard, so it was more valid.

Spanner in the Works: Gandalf cites Thorin and the Company as this to Sauron when trying to convince Thranduil of the impending Orc attack. The Dwarves were never meant to reach Erebor and their quest has set off a chain of events (including the White Council driving him out of Dol Guldur) that have now jepoardized Sauron's plans for the West. Sauron now has no choice, but to show his hand now and launch his forces prematurely to claim the Lonely Mountain (for both its treasure and strategic position) before it's too late. The ensuing loss of the Battle of the Five Armies completes the Spanner, delaying Sauron's return to power for over half a century until Frodo's generation.

Jerkass Has a Point
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Thranduil is perfectly correct; Gandalf's decision to encourage Thorin into taking back Erebor and trying to kill Smaug ended up with who knows how many people getting killed or injured. Of course, Thranduil isn't seeing the bigger picture here; left to his own devices, Smaug would have surely joined Sauron's forces, and Erebor's strategic location would have allowed Sauron a strategically critical fortification that would have served as a foothold to his complete conquest of the North. Although it would have been callous and unfair of Thranduil to simply leave the battle with his elves, abandoning the men and dwarves to their fate, he is the king of his people, charged to protect them, and they were at that point getting their asses kicked. Choosing to keep those he had left safe is not in itself a bad idea. Alfrid reacts with concern to the news that the dwarves are still alive in Erebor with a massive treasure. Bard tells him not to worry, as there is plenty of gold for everyone. Alfrid, being much more familiar with avarice than Bard, has good reason to worry. Thorin is clearly suffering from gold sickness by the time he negotiates with Bard, but his argument is fairly reasonable; the bargain he made in Laketown was compelled by force, and even if it wasn't, the fact that negotiations were happening while Thranduil — who had arrested the dwarves for trespassing in the previous film and had previously broken the dwarven/elven alliance — sat right outside the gate with an army is very, very bad diplomacy.

Idiot Ball

comment
Idiot Ball: Thranduil during the extended edition's version of the early battle. First, he orders his soldiers to strafe the dwarven army. The dwarves launch some kind of ballista arrows with spinning fans that shatter all arrows in mid-air and land among the elven ranks, killing hundreds. Thranduil's answer is another volley of arrows, which results in more of his elves being killed. Then when the orcs appear and the dwarves form a shield wall, Thranduil has two rows of soldiers jump over the dwarves and defeat the whole purpose of their formation rather than, say, doing a pincer manuver on the orc army which is busy running at the dwarves. In the same battle the dwarves, instead of taking advantage of their superior defence and overwhelming firepower advantage, charge their cavalry directly into the elvish shieldwall where they are predictably cut down in seconds. Although, to be fair, this only happened because the battle somehow forgot the barrage of ballistae that just slammed into the same elvish shieldwall, which would have, had the law of causality been followed, scattered the tight elven formation, allowing an immediate shock charge from heavy cavalry to break it completely. Also, the orcs after the initial assault. Thorin Oakenshield is charging his army at the tip of a wedge, without headgear, keeping his shield as far away from himself as he can, and no single orc is ordered to shoot him? Where are Bolg's Morgul arrows when orcs really need them? Also, the eagles can just swoop in and fell the majority of Bolg's army without getting shot at. The eagles did fear "great bows of yew" after all.

Bond Villain Stupidity: Smaug spots Bard trying to shoot him down with arrows and descends to gloat that he is unstoppable while staying still enough to be a target for Bard's black arrow. It somewhat fits his dragonlike arrogance, but it's still a bad decision. Of course, all the other arrows hadn't hurt him and he didn't know of his broken scale.

Bullying a Dragon: Not involving Smaug, but with Thranduil. He and Bard march up to the front of Erebor, and Thorin decides to shoot an arrow at the feet of Thranduil's mount, to the cheers of the other dwarves. Thranduil's soldiers, who are less than twenty feet behind them, promptly load their bows in response to their king being threatened. Thorin clearly Didn't Think This Through.

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Thranduil, in spades. In fact, one could make the argument his behaviour played directly into Azog's hands. He completely dismisses Gandalf's warnings of the impending orc army, believing he's making it up to save the dwarves. He brings his entire army to attack Erebor, which at that point is manned only by a company of 13. When the orcs do show up, this not only leaves Dale wide open to attack, it puts the Elf and Dwarf forces in a position where the orcs can easily corner them. And speaking of which... His refusal to even attempt to negotiate with the Hot-Blooded Dáin, who admittedly is partially to blame as well, leads to a brief but bloody skirmish with the dwarves that costs both armies soldiers they could have sorely used against the orcs, including most of the goat cavalry.

A Thicket of Spears: The armies of the Iron Hills differ from most dwarves by entering battle in phalanx formations, carrying heavy shields in one hand and spears in the other, with which they can hold the enemy at arm's length. This indicates that their military includes traces of a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of ancient Rome/Greece (even if their leader speaks and acts like a Violent Glaswegian). Of course, the Mirkwood Elves then ruin the whole point of their formation by just vaulting over the shields to attack the Orcs head-on.

Left Hanging: The whole question of who gets Smaug's treasure. This was resolved in the novel, but keeping it in the film would result in too many endings after the climax. Also the question of who will take over as King Under the Mountain after Thorin's death. This is, again, resolved in the novel, and is put back into the extended edition where we see Dain at Thorin's funeral, wearing the same crown that Thorin had worn earlier on the movie.

What Happened to the Mouse?
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_863fa679
comment
What Happened to the Mouse?: Several, most of which are addressed in the Extended Edition: The Arkenstone is the ultimate MacGuffin for the whole trilogy, but the theatrical edition never ever shows what happens to it after the Battle of the Five Armies. In the extended edition, it was buried with Thorin like it was in the novel. The issue of Smaug's treasure hoard being cursed with dragon sickness is also forgotten once the dwarves move back to Erebor and Thorin is dead. The moment Thorin goes after Azog riding on the war goats, the battle is completely forgotten even if it is at its climax. Hundreds of war bats are swooping over the elves and dwarves, dwarves are at their breaking point, a second orc army of orcs is coming from the north and Azog's orcs are still plowing through the defenceless humans in Dale; as soon as Azog dies after a lengthy fight, all the main characters are quietly pondering their future or voicing their sorrow, without regard to what should be happening on the battlefield. Addressed in the extended edition, which intercuts the scenes on Ravenhill with the main battle still raging below. The theatrical edition never makes it clear what becomes of Dáin, the dwarf army, Bard, and the remaining people of Laketown. The extended edition shows Dáin being crowned as the new King Under the Mountain. Radagast disappears from the theatrical edition after the battle, so we never get to know the reason he doesn't appear in The Lord of the Rings. Given that not even the books reveal it, we can just guess he returned to his labours. Given she's a Canon Foreigner, we never see Tauriel again. And since she is banished from elven kingdom, Kili is dead and Legolas leaving her to go on a quest in finding a rider called "Strider" (Aragorn), it is very likely that she lost the will to live and that she died of a broken heart. In the theatrical edition we never actually see the fate of Alfrid, also a Canon Foreigner, implying that he is a Karma Houdini. The extended edition gives him a Karmic Death instead. Azog's were-worms appear for one scene to make his troops a tunnel to the battlefield, and are never seen or mentioned afterwards. The wargs were essential to Azog's pursuit of Thorin and Company, and yet they're nowhere to be seen in the final battle. They show up only in the extended edition. The goats Thorin and team use to climb up Ravenhill to confront Azog vanish the moment the dwarves jump off them. For that matter, they appear out of nowhere when they got on them, being the remnant of a lengthy chase scene present only in the extended edition. The fate of the Elven army is also up in the air. We see a few follow Thranduil into Dale, where most are cut down quickly. By the time the Iron Hills Dwarves fall back, there are no elves left to be seen on the field. It's unclear whether any of them survived, or if they suffered a Death by Adaptation.

Lord Dáin provides an army of heavily armored dwarven pikemen from the Iron Hills who can stop the charging orcs dead in their tracks. The Orc army of Dol Guldur. While subject to Conservation of Ninjutsu, still proves its numbers are huge deal, plus it has a number of trolls in its ranks as siege weapons and frontline soldiers, supported by goblin auxiliaries. They are reinforced by a second army from Gundabad that aside from orcs also had large hobgoblin berserkers and swarms of giant bats. The fact that the Men of Laketown lacked young able men, training, discipline, equipment, armor, new weapons or any supplies apart from what the Silvan elves brought them, and still managed to hold their own against a surprise attack from the orc army and take down several trolls, speaks very highly of them.

He brings his entire army to attack Erebor, which at that point is manned only by a company of 13. When the orcs do show up, this not only leaves Dale wide open to attack, it puts the Elf and Dwarf forces in a position where the orcs can easily corner them. And speaking of which...

Continuity Nod: During the battle, Legolas spots Thorin, about to be killed by an orc, and promptly kills the warrior by throwing Orcrist into its chest, much like Thorin did for Legolas during the barrels incident. Bilbo mentions in An Unexpected Journey that he forgot to bring his handkerchief. Returning to Bag End at the end of this movie, he finds it. As an old Bilbo told Frodo in An Unexpected Journey, Lobelia really tried to take off with his silverware. When Thorin is dying, he tells Bilbo to go back to his books, his armchair and his garden — all things Bilbo admitted to missing in An Unexpected Journey — and cherish them. The film ends with an elderly Bilbo telling visitors to go away, only to realize that it's Gandalf at the door, much like in The Fellowship of the Ring.

This Is Gonna Suck: Legolas gives a heavy sigh when he realizes that, having just been momentarily saved by Thorin, he must now return the favour by throwing his sword into an orc — which sucks, because it leaves Legolas with only his knives to fight Bolg. It's also the same sword Legolas took from Thorin in Mirkwood — the elvish sword that he says Thorin has no right to, being a dwarf. By throwing it, he's essentially giving it back to Thorin.

One-Man Army: The film gives an idea of just how powerful Galadriel really is. Foreshadowing her single-handedly destroying Dol Guldur off-screen during the War of the Ring. There's also a moment when Dwalin announces that a troupe of 100 goblin mercenaries are approaching — so, naturally, he and Thorin can handle it. Of course, that would make them a two-person army, but still, fifty goblins each is no joke.

From Balin's reaction and response, it's implied he's deduced the Hobbit found the jewel, but doesn't confront Bilbo on it (nor does he pass this onto Thorin since, as he rightly concludes, it'll only make things worse).

Awesome Moment of Crowning: Inverted. Thorin dressing the part of king only serves to demonstrate his madness. As Dwalin says, the kingly Thorin is even lower than the common man he started the quest as. It's only when Thorin casts off the crown and returns to the Company as the great leader and warrior they respected him as that he is truly a king worth following. Defied by Bard. After Laketown is destroyed and with the Master a stain on the back of Smaug's corpse, Alfrid tries to save his own skin by gussying up with Bard and taking advantage of his newfound fame as Dragonslayer by declaring him King of Dale before the mass of people. However, both because Alfrid's praise disgusts Bard and because he has no time for such nonsense while there are people who need help, Bard outright refuses Alfrid and goes on to rally the people together without such titles. He ultimately does become King of Dale later on, and his putting the needs of his people before his own advancement shows well what kind of King he will be.

My God, What Have I Done?: Thorin starts to realize this when the battle is ongoing, and starts to recognize that he's going down the same exact path his grandfather did that ultimately drove him mad. Towards the end of the film, Thranduil realizes that he was a bad father when Legolas tells him that he can't go back to the forest. Before he leaves, Thranduil tells him that Legolas's mother loved him as a form of apology.

Mood Whiplash: The battle scenes jump between deadly serious fights, intentionally over-the-top action set-pieces, and pure comedy seemingly at random. This is much more pronounced in the Extended Cut, which restored a number of the comedic scenes. This also extends to the threat posed by the orcs; Thorin and Bard are constantly beset by deadly foes where even the weakest mook takes skill to defeat, but the comic trio Bifur, Bofur and Bombur are cutting through even the toughest foes like grass.

Thranduil during the extended edition's version of the early battle. First, he orders his soldiers to strafe the dwarven army. The dwarves launch some kind of ballista arrows with spinning fans that shatter all arrows in mid-air and land among the elven ranks, killing hundreds. Thranduil's answer is another volley of arrows, which results in more of his elves being killed. Then when the orcs appear and the dwarves form a shield wall, Thranduil has two rows of soldiers jump over the dwarves and defeat the whole purpose of their formation rather than, say, doing a pincer manuver on the orc army which is busy running at the dwarves.

Posthumous Villain Victory: In the final battle Azog and Thorin fight each other and Azog dies after falling into the icy lake and being impaled. However, Azog manages to mortally wound Thorin, and he dies shortly thereafter, meaning Azog was successful in wiping out Thorin's bloodline.

comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: It's only the timely arrival of Azog and his army that causes the Dwarven and Elven armies to put aside their grievances instead of kill each other. Azog might have a good strategy going of pinning them all between two separate armies, but just imagine if he had had the restraint to wait a single day and let the Dwarves and Elves do most of the work of killing each other. In the Extended Cut it's even worse, since he arrives just after the battle has started and stops it cold. This could be explained either by his bloodlust, or vendetta against Thorin.

Oh, Crap!: Bard has a sequence of these during his one-man defence of Lake Town. The first comes when he sees Smaug for the first time. They get steadily more intense. Galadriel, when she's cornered in Dol Guldur by the Nine. Fíli, when he's in the tunnels under Ravenhill and hears Azog coming. Azog, when he sees the eagle army led by Radagast. Thranduil and Bard when they see Bilbo, their best negotiator, is going to get horribly murdered by a royally-pissed off Thorin.

Cutting Back to Reality: A gold-crazed Thorin finally begins to experience a Heel Realization as he walks across the golden floor of his new fortress and begins hallucinating out of guilt. Initially only seeing Smaug's ominous shadow under the gold, he soon finds the golden floor collapsing under his feet as if still molten, forming a whirlpool that slowly swallows him despite his best efforts to claw his way to the top... and then we cut back to Thorin standing on the surface, unharmed but deeply shaken.

Artistic Licence – Economics: Erebor's massive treasure hoard. It puts the contents of Fort Knox to shame and everybody in the area wants it, but they're all alone up there in the upper-right-hand corner of a Left-Justified Fantasy Map (which, in the Expanded Universe, is shown to be on the edge of a massive arctic tundra to the north and the east), hundreds of miles from other communities, with no-one to trade it with besides the parties fighting over it. Nobody even thinks of this. Justified, though; of the four parties involved in the fighting (the dwarves, elves, orcs, and men of Laketown), only the last actually wants the treasure for its actual value. Thorin's been taken by greed and refuses to share, the Iron Hills dwarves fight on Thorin's behalf, Thranduil seeks a specific memento in the hoard, the orcs want the mountain itself as a strategic fortification, and the men of Laketown only want what they were promised to help rebuild. The book had an offhand remark from Thranduil's herald inviting Thorin to try eating the gold while the armies of Laketown and Mirkwood besieged the Lonely Mountain, and the Master of Laketown actually loads himself down with gold as he flees — he starves in the wilderness because he didn't bring any food.

I Did What I Had to Do: Bilbo, when it comes to preventing a costly and unnecessary war between the other factions of Middle-Earth, readily admits to secreting away the Arkenstone from Thorin's grasp. By this point, all the other company members can see how bad their leader's greed is getting, and they're not as outwardly angry with him; some even agree with his necessary betrayal.

Knight Templar: In his dragon sickness, Thorin becomes one of the biggest hypocrites in the entire Middle Earth cinematic universe. He asserts the gold is his because "it was hard fought for"... except the dwarves had no hand whatsoever in the victory! Had Bard not killed Smaug, it would have been entirely impossible to keep him out of Erebor: how could the company keep him out when an entire kingdom of dwarves couldn't when the mountain was at its best defended? It's doubly insulting for the Laketowners, given that it was entirely the dwarves' fault, ultimately, if Smaug laid waste to them in the first place. The entire conversation with Bard just drives the point home as Thorin digs himself ever deeper with every word that comes out of his mouth.

Despite this being the film that expands on the novel's events the most, this trope is also combined with Compressed Adaptation. The final chapter-and-a-half of the novel focuses on Bilbo's peaceful journey back to the Shire, stopping at Beorn's house and Rivendell along the way and saying various goodbyes to people he'd met, whereas the film omits aspects of the journey and condenses it all into a little over five minutes.

Dies Differently in Adaptation: In the book, Azog was killed by Dáin during a battle 140 years beforehand. In the movies, he survived that battle and he and Thorin Mutual Kill one another during the Battle of the Five Armies. Fili and Kili also die a little bit differently. While both of their incarnations' deaths take place in the final battle, the book has both of them die defending their uncle. The film, however, has Fili die at Azog's hands in front of Thorin and Bilbo, while Kili gets stabbed by Bolg as he defends Tauriel. Happens to Bolg as well. Beorn mauls him to death in the book, while the film has Legolas stab him in the head before the latter falls through the debris. The Master of Laketown survived the main events of the book, but in the epilogue is revealed to have fled into the wilderlands and starved to death. In the movie, he's crushed by Smaug's corpse.

In the Extended Edition, the dwarves launch their decapitation strike against Azog by charging towards Ravenhill in an armored goat-drawn chariot with rotating blades on the hubs of its wheels, reducing orcs to Ludicrous Gibs all the way.

Shout-Out
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: When the Orc army is fighting its way into Dale, a desperate messenger calls out to Bard, "They've taken Stone Street!" A major portion of the trilogy was, of course, filmed at Stone Street Studios. The scene where Thorin snaps out of his Sanity Slippage seems to be inspired by the scene in El Cid where King Alfonso rejects his sister's influence. In the extended edition, the dungeon keeper in Dol Guldur drags Gandalf to an execution block to cut off his hand and take Narya, the ring of fire. The camera angle and the knife he tries to use are reminiscent of the scene in Game of Thrones where Locke cuts off Jaime Lannister's hand. Jackson acknowledges that the duel between Thorin and Azog on a frozen river with the ice breaking up under them is an homage to Alexander Nevsky.

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The movie keeps it vague as to whether "Dragon Sickness" is the result of a true curse, or the result of natural greed and lust for gold. In the source, the truth is it's a mixture of both magical and mundane greed, both amplifying the other until it becomes overwhelming.

We ARE Struggling Together
 The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies / int_cbdd9a55
comment
We ARE Struggling Together: Played with, and a major theme in the film. The Dwarves, Elves, and Men should be uniting to fight the forces of darkness, but instead they're determined to fight a petty war among themselves just because they won't divide a treasure-horde fairly. They nearly come to killing each other, but as soon as the Orc army actually does show up (which drastically outnumbers them), all three groups immediately snap into fighting side by side against the greater threat. So ultimately averted: they were able to set aside their petty differences to survive.

Red Shirt Army: Don't get too attached to all those Dwarf soldiers. In a subversion, while the Dwarf forces visibly suffer heavy casualties, many of them do fight the orcs fairly evenly. Surprisingly averted by the Men of Laketown, who also hold their own effectively, despite being poorly equipped and trained. This trope is played straighter, however, by the Mirkwood elves.

Boring Return Journey: In adherence to the novel, the journey to Erebor takes up the entirety of the first film and about half of the second, but Bilbo's return to the Shire is shown in a short montage of him and Gandalf travelling serenely through beautiful countryside. Justified in that all of the enemies who were pursuing them before are gone, Thranduil has probably loosened up enough at this point to give Bilbo free passage through a now Sauron-free Mirkwood, and Gandalf is implied to have stuck with him for the whole trip back.

What the Hell, Hero?: Bard condemns Thorin for the fact that his actions caused the destruction of Laketown and the deaths of hundreds — or even thousands — of innocent people. Kíli calls out Thorin for letting others fight their battles for them while they hide inside the safety of Erebor. Dwalin also calls Thorin out on becoming ever more obsessed with reclaiming Erebor to the exclusion of everything else, including the well-being of everyone. Thranduil calls Gandalf out on how his plan to get rid of Smaug back-fired with a lot of collateral damage, and now it's his duty to "finish" what he started. Bilbo calls out Thorin for not keeping his word or being himself after the latter learns the former bargained the Arkenstone. Tauriel calls out Thranduil in Dale when he's about to leave the People of Laketown and the Dwarves to die.

Break Out the Museum Piece: The members of the Company take weapons and armor from Smaug's hoard (including the mithril shirt that Thorin gives to Bilbo) to protect themselves, while the Lake-men do the same in Dale's abandoned armory. All of these weapons would be decades old, and possibly even rusting (especially the Lake-men's weapons).

A Million Is a Statistic: Zigzagged. During Smaug's rampage, subverted to hell, with the movie putting an emphasis on how everybody is reacting to it, and that even his death doesn't undo their problems. During the battle, the deaths of the warriors don't get much emotion, but the survivors of Laketown getting attacked by the orcs is given the emotional weight they should.

Gambit Pileup: The gist of the film following the prologue and Smaug's defeat. With Erebor now liberated, all the regional powers (the Dwarves, the Woodland Realm Elves, and the survivors of Laketown) all try to claim the Lonely Mountain. These combined three attempts then smash head first into Sauron's own scramble to claim Erebor before Mordor loses access to a strategic gateway into the West. And in the middle of all this, Biblo and Gandalf are trying to navigate the political and martial minefield and get Thorin and the Company out of this alive.

comment
Call-Forward: When Galadriel confronts Sauron directly, she takes on the "Dark Queen" persona she showed Frodo in Fellowship. When Thorin's company stands atop their blockade dressed in full armor, Glóin wears the armor that would later be worn by his son Gimli throughout the Lord of the Rings trilogy. At the ending, Thranduil suggests to Legolas that he meet and look after a young man among the Dúnedain known as Strider, otherwise known as Aragorn. Bard, convincing the people to spare Alfrid, uses the same reasoning as Aragorn for Wormtongue. They both think that enough blood has been spilled. Though not explicitly stated, it's implied the acorn Bilbo found will become the Party Tree seen in Fellowship. When Thranduil sees the slain bodies of his kin filling the streets of Dale, it's reminiscent of Haldir's final moments in Two Towers. Bilbo returns to the Shire in decidedly un-Hobbitlike, foreign garb. Some sixty years later, his nephew Frodo and companions would return to the Shire in the same manner. Bilbo awakens on the battlefield just as the Eagles arrive, and stares up at them dreamily with a smile on his face. Years later, at the finish of the War of the Ring, Frodo and Sam will also watch hazily from the foot of Mount Doom as the Eagles wing in to save them. When Thorin is above the Gates of Erebor and receives the raven bringing him news of Dáin, he looks to the rising sun cresting over the hill. "At dawn on the fifth day, look to the East," said Gandalf to Aragorn in The Two Towers. When Thorin and Company break the barricade and join the fight, Dáin even yells "TO THE KING!" much like Éomer reinforcing Théoden at The Battle of Helm's Deep in The Two Towers. Bombur blowing the horn of Erebor is also very similar to Gimli blowing the horn of Helm's Deep. Thranduil laying waste to the Orcs as he charges with his Elk on the bridge to Dale brings to mind Théoden charging down the causeway at Helm's Deep, throwing down Orcs left and right. Thranduil also quotes Frodo almost word for word while facing the defiant Tauriel: "What do you know about love? Nothing." The people of Laketown trudging through the mountains to the ruins of Dale harken back to the prologue of An Unexpected Journey, where the Dwarves were similarly exiled from their homes after Smaug's attack. Thorin's fight with Azog is very similar to Gandalf's fight with the Balrog. Both send their enemies falling down to their apparent death, and they walk away before their enemy attacks their foot, and finally kill their enemy before collapsing and dying themselves. Bolg's army leaving Gundabad is very similar to Sauron's army coming out of Minas Morgul. Gloin's helmet that he gets from the armory is Gimli's helmet from the original trilogy.

Big Damn Heroes: Firstly done by the White Council to help Galadriel against Sauron and the Nazgûl and later by Radagast, Beorn, and the Eagles to save the day during the Battle of the Five Armies. Also, when Thorin snaps out of his Dragon Sickness and charges out into battle, the Company at his back, the horns of Erebor resonating through the vale. Cue much rejoicing amongst the Dwarves and the armies of Men and Elves. Not so much amongst the Orc ranks, obviously.

Decapitated Army: Thorin plans to do this with Azog, as he's commanding the orc army. Subverted, as Azog was planning for this to lure Thorin into a trap and he's got a second army coming in to finish off the already beleaguered dwarves, elves and men. Luckily, the army is routed by Beorn and the Eagles.

In the extended edition, the dungeon keeper in Dol Guldur drags Gandalf to an execution block to cut off his hand and take Narya, the ring of fire. The camera angle and the knife he tries to use are reminiscent of the scene in Game of Thrones where Locke cuts off Jaime Lannister's hand.

comment
The Lost Lenore: Thranduil's wife was killed by orcs long ago, and it turns out to be his justification for only caring about keeping his people safe and not fighting for or protecting non-elves. Well, that and in the previous film, we saw that his face was actually grievously burned fighting dragons and orcs in previous conflicts — probably the same wars in which his wife died. He's suffered so much in past wars that he now has a strong "looking out for number one" mentality.

comment
Undying Loyalty: Zigzagged. The Company grows more and more weary of Thorin as the dragon sickness gets to him. When he commands that Bilbo be thrown over the mountain, none of them obey. Kíli comes within a hair's breadth of joining the battle against his orders. Played straight when he comes back to his senses; they have no problem following him into battle. Bilbo is this to the Company and Thorin. Everything he does is with their best interests in mind and he makes this very clear to Thranduil and Bard when he bargains the Arkenstone for peace. And then he scales Ravenhill, which is infested with orcs and Gandalf claims to be a suicide mission, to warn Thorin and the others about yet another incoming army from Gundabad. It's safe to say that Bilbo will do almost anything to protect and save his dwarves.

Battering Ram: Hilariously combined with Use Your Head. When the orc forces begin their attack on Dale, a troll with huge chunk of stones tied to his head rams the wall as a living battering ram and then... promptly flops back after knocking himself out. After walling up the entrance to the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves have to get out quickly to join the battle, so they knock it down with a huge golden bell.

She at least is seen to have survived the battle in the end.

Brick Joke: Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is still trying to steal Bilbo's silverware. Also Bilbo picking up his handkerchief he'd mentioned forgetting back in the first film. One is also set up when Thranduil tells Legolas that he must learn Strider's true name for himself. In Fellowship, Legolas is the one to reveal Aragorn's name to Boromir. In the previous film, Gandalf notes that he was mistaken for a vagabond by unsavoury characters while travelling on the Greenway. When he rides up to Dale, Alfrid tries to shoo him off for the same reason. In the extended cut Radagast loans Gandalf his staff, and warns him that the crystal at the end comes loose sometimes. In the battle Gandalf is stuck dodging a troll's attacks while trying to get it to stay on place long enough to use offensive magic.

Buffy Speak: The Iron Hills dwarves counteract the volleys of arrows that the elves fire at them with ballista-launched projectiles that spin like windmill blades, breaking the elvish arrows up in midair. Dáin only ever refers to these weapons as "the old twirly-whirlies". The production team for the movie admit that they couldn't think of a better name for them.
