Качествен контрол: „Хобит: Битката на петте армии” Най-лошото от Питър Джаксън дойде накрая. Финалната част на „Хобит” е явна демонстрация за това, че драконовата болест е завладяла не само героя на Торин Дъбощит*, но и режисьора на филма. Раздуването на поредицата не разчита на творческо вдъхновение, а натрапва откровена бокс офис алчност, замаскирана с лъскави ефекти, пресилени моменти и изцедени от емоционалност бойни сцени – по време на които чух похъркване в залата. Предварителният трейлър за „Хобит: Битката на петте армии” Comic-Con трейлърът на „Хобит: Битката на петте армии” е тук. За музикална подложка на кратката реклама екипът на Питър Джаксън е извадил от „Завръщането на краля” песента на Пипин “The Steward of Gondor”. Чудно. Какво общо има Гондор или другарят на Фродо с рибарското селище или с предстоящия епичен сблъсък, оставен за финала на тази предистория? Déjà vu факторът е неизбежен, но трябва ли да бъде натрапен във видео от минута и петдесет секунди? „Хобит 3” с ново име, избирано сякаш за видео игра Третата част на „Хобит” има ново име. Уточнявам, съобщението е официално. Толкиновото сантиментално заглавие „Дотам и обратно” се трансформира в синтетичното и доста по-описателно прозвище „Битката на петте армии” („The Battle of the Five Armies”). Иха! Целта в случая е само една. Продажба на повече билети за непретенциозната (макар че думата трябва да бъде доста по-тежка) масова аудитория, която втора година се оставя да бъде подценявана жестоко от новозеландския режисьор и екипа му. Средно статистическият клиент ще си каже, уау… битка, уау… пет армии. Това трябва да се види, най-добре на HFR 3D. Качествен контрол: „Хобит: Пущинакът на Смог” Мнозина побързаха да обявят „Хобит: Пущинакът на Смог” за по-добър филм от апатичната и мудна първа серия „Неочаквано пътуване”. Като подобрения критиците и зрителите отчитат не удвоения, а направо умножения екшън и пооправения външен вид на дигиталните герои (особено на орката албинос Азок). Това е така, макар че второто не си личи в трейлърите. Тъжен втори трейлър за „Хобит: Пущинакът на Смог” Всъщност не мога да си обясня с какъв акъл очаквах вторият трейлър за втория епизод на „Хобит: Пущинакът на Смог” да промени отношението ми към новата фентъзи поредица на Питър Джаксън. Да, за жалост това е човекът, който преди десетилетие омагьоса света с най-синкретичната филмова трилогия „Властелинът на пръстените”. Промо материали за „Хобит: Пущинакът на Смог” Ясно е, че цялата страховита прелест на дракона Смог ще е най-дълго пазената тайна в продължението на „Хобит”, предвидено за този декември. Това обаче не пречи на Питър Джаксън и компания да хвърлят към нас поредното парче от рептилния пъзел. Поглед зад кулисите на „Хобит 2” Феновете на Средната земя, които първи са купили DVD или Blu-ray изданието на „Хобит: Неочаквано пътешествие” вече са открили в кутийката специален код, осигуряващ им достъп до интернет среща с Питър Джаксън. В официалния YouTube канал на режисьора се появи 6-минутен откъс от виртуалното събитие. Оскаровите прогнози на Филмче.нет за 2013-та За да предскажеш успешно победителите в оскаровата вечер, не е нужно да имаш свръх естествени способности. Трябва просто да се опиташ да мислиш като средностатистическия член на академията: бял мъж, с побеляла коса, който цени традициите и не се трогва от нови идеи. Този подход обичайно осигурява около 80% успеваемост в традиционните ми оскарови прогнози ;). Качествен контрол: „Хобит: Неочаквано пътешествие” Премиерата на „Хобит: Неочаквано пътешествие” чука на вратата. Тазгодишният кино Дядо Коледа носи пълна торба с подаръци. Какво обаче се крие под лъскавите опаковки? Вече можем да придобием ясна представа. Доста дълго разчитахме на превъзбудени и телеграфни статуси в Туитър от типа на: „великолепен”, „магически”, „всичко, за което сте мечтали”. Подробните ревюта бяха спирани заради чудовищната забрана за медиен коментар на първите прожекции в САЩ и Нова Зеландия. Обновеният трейлър за „Хобит: Неочаквано пътешествие” Идеята, че ще се завърна в Средната земя ме разпалва дотолкова, че гледам със захлас познатия трейлър с добавени едва три сцени. Свикнали сме вторите реклами да са доста богати на нов материал. Този клип, който бе показан по време на Comic-Con, а сега се върти преди прожекциите на „Храбро сърце”, обаче съдържа изненади само в 0:23 (реакцията на Билбо при пристигането на Гандалф), 1:57 (Билбо се крие зад дърво в Мраколес) и 1:59 (Задругата тича през гора).

The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies Movie Review The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies Overshadowed By It’s Predecessors When the idea of splitting “The Hobbit” into two pieces was first proposed, I was all for it. Sure, it only took single movies to portray the individual parts of the “The Lord of the Rings” that were of similar length. However, I liked the idea that Peter Jackson had the opportunity to expand a little bit on the base story to incorporate some more tie-ins to his legendary Middle Earth trilogy. When it was finally decided that “The Hobbit” would “need” to be split into three movies, I was less optimistic. I had seen “King Kong” and knew what kind of extraneous elements Jackson was capable of introducing. For the good of the series, I really wish he had stuck to the plan. Much like Bilbo, this series became “stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.” While “The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” is certainly entertaining, its drawn-out plot and general lack of awe leave us with a trilogy that will forever sit in the shadows of its far superior predecessor. I’d like to open this up by saying that “The Lord of the Rings,” as a trilogy, is my all-time favorite film series. I thought it was perfect a decade ago, and I still think that now. When “The Hobbit” finally made it through pre-production hell and saw the green light, I was a bit skeptical. Seeing as how “The Hobbit” has a much lighter tone than “The Lord of the Rings,” I was worried that Peter Jackson and Co. wouldn’t be able to straddle that line between something suitable for youth and something that adults would be interested in. “An Unexpected Journey” assuaged those fears. I thought the first installment was a valiant effort and it made me quite excited for what was to come. “The Desolation of Smaug” tempered that excitement. It was drawn-out and over-the-top in its action elements. Further, my disappointment doesn’t even take into account many loyal Tolkien-ites objections with the creative liberties that were taken with the story. Needless to say, my expectations for “The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies” were not nearly as high as it was for “The Return of the King” eleven years ago. One thing that has been spot-on through all three phases of this series has been the acting at the top. Martin Freeman has been, dare I say it, the perfect Bilbo. He’s seen fantastic growth through the series, and his implied transition into Ian Holm as his older self is wholly believable. The same can be said of Richard Armitage as Thorin. He has been solid from the get-go, and is the highlight of “Five Armies.” His descent into madness and his ultimate redemption are the highlights of the film. Thorin is a flawed hero, and Armitage brings that to life. One disappointment I’ve had as the movies have gone on is the lack of impact from Ian McKellan’s Gandalf. In “The Lord of the Rings,” McKellan is superb. Here, he seems like more of a background character. He never has the impact with Bilbo that I was hoping for. I’m not entirely sure whose fault that is, considering how excellent McKellan always is, but I find it to be a major problem that the Gandalf-Frodo relationship from “Rings” was much more impactful in half a movie than the Gandalf-Bilbo relationship was in The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies. Now for the story. This trilogy could have so easily been two movies that it is hard not to see its triple-split as anything more than a money grab. Both “Desolation” and “The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies” felt like they dragged on, as if the screenwriters were trying to find filler to justify each film’s existence. Pacing and excitement could have been aided thoroughly by a joinder of the two films. “The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies” concentrated almost solely on the battle and its escalation. That’s a problem. Rather than being the point of an entire movie, it would have been much better suited as the climax. Again, I won’t delve too deep into the differences between the book and the films, but important deaths of main characters would have been better served by staying true to the book as opposed to giving them a CGI/special effects injection. This is obviously done to try and make the film more accessible. My issue with this is that “Return of the King,” at the time, was the second highest grossing film worldwide in history, and it appeased new fans and lifelong fans alike. Give the audience some credit. Sometimes, we want to see more drama as opposed to an action spectacle. I will say, however, that the ending to “The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies” is the perfect segue to “The Lord of the Rings.” It’s very clever and underscores the fact that “The Hobbit” is the prequel and not the source for “Rings” as a sequel. It is, at this point, where I’d like to take a little time to harp on Mr. Howard Shore, Peter Jackson’s go-to composer. His music for “The Lord of the Rings” is now legendary. The themes and motives introduced for each character, race, and location are so identifiable that they evoke memories of John Williams’ work on “Star Wars.” I thought Shore was heading for something similar after seeing “An Unexpected Journey.” The theme for the dwarves was absolutely fantastic, and he would make a point of reintroducing reworked themes from “Rings” in places where it made sense. As a specific example, he used the same music in “Journey” when Bilbo is looking into Gollum’s eyes as he did in “Fellowship” when Gandalf is telling Frodo not to find it a pity that Bilbo didn’t kill Gollum at that specific moment. Utterly brilliant. However, in “Desolation” and “The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies,” it’s like Shore went on vacation and let one of his trainees take over. None of the motives from “Journey” were reintroduced, and the scores themselves were wholly unmemorable. It’s the scores that were, in part, responsible for the greatness of “The Lord of the Rings.” It’s the scores that are, in part, responsible for my general ambivalence towards the second two “Hobbit” films. It’s not all bad news in the music department. Billy Boyd’s credit song is superb. If there’s one thing Shore and Jackson have done spectacularly over all six films, it is choosing credit songs. Boyd’s “The Last Goodbye” is an excellent send-off to this trilogy and sits right up there with Enya’s “May It Be,” Annie Lennox’s “Into the West,” and Ed Sheeran’s “I See Fire.” It’s not that “The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies” is a bad movie. It is well crafted and generally entertaining. It’s that the expectations of what it could have been temper any good feelings. Peter Jackson was operating under the shadow of his own work. We, the audience, wanted a second coming of “The Lord of the Rings.” Maybe that’s a bit unfair, as “The Lord of the Rings” is a cinematic achievement that will be remembered and saluted for as long as films are produced. At the very least, a somewhat faithful adaptation of a beloved story would have sufficed.
