‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ Official Trailer Released!

Funny that on the same day we get some rather important news about the next Star Wars film, we also get the trailer for — AT LAST — the final installment in the seemingly never-ending film series of The Hobbit. Behold, for your viewing pleasure: The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. (The trailer, that is.)

As much as I tried to like The Hobbit films, I can’t. They’re an ugly mess. At least the equally messy X-Men movies have ounces of fun in them. But here it is at last. The last movie in what shouldn’t have been a trilogy in the first place. We’re almost done!

Side note: Only The Hobbit movies could get away with releasing a trailer just a little over a month before it actually hits theaters. This is a gigantic movie, a CGI fantasy onslaught with a $250 million budget, and only now we get the trailer? I get that they announced the films would be released consecutively so we probably should have penciled in these dates years ago, but still.

Will you be seeing this movie when it theaters? Of course you are, and you’ll hate yourself for it. But comment below!
