This December, Peter Jackson brings his tales of Middle Earth to a true end.
After three amazing Lord of the Rings films, and – thus far – two installments of The Hobbit, thirteen years of films come to an end with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
Warner Bros. released the final trailer for this third Hobbit film, and it is – as one would expect, epic.

Sure, no Smaug. Sure, barely any of the titular hobbit. But it’s hard to not have an incredible sense that a major chapter of filmmaking has come to an end.
Perhaps The Battle of the Five Armies will continue the upward trend of the Hobbit films. The Desolation of Smaug was a significant improvement on An Unexpected Journey, and while I continue to believe The Hobbit could have been told in just one film – this trailer does a lot to revive the spark for Middle-Earth I once had.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies releases December 17, 2014.
