He longs for the treasured gem, the arkenstone, which symbolizes that his family is restored and he would be king uniting the dwarf kingdoms. Smaug the dragon had taken his family’s home and their greedily amassed wealth. Thorin Oakenshield is the dwarf king without a kingdom. Questions and criticisms aside, I was also left with some spiritual lessons to chew on. When the credits rolled at the end of this last film, I was left with a lot of questions and criticisms.
When I watched the first two parts of the trilogy I kept an open mind to the changes, reserving hope that they’d pay off in the end. Peter Jackson seemed to work very hard to adapt The Hobbit novel’s original story to flow nicely into his version of The Lord of the Rings. If you’ve invested the 6 hours it takes to watch the first two Hobbit movies, you’ll justifiably want to go ahead and finish the trilogy by seeing the Battle of The Five Armies, but know that its battle scenes are so long that they get a bit yawn-worthy. But The Hobbit movies seemed to be just an exercise of “there and back again.” I am not entirely sure where it took me. The Lord of the Rings films were our first journey to middle-earth and for Tolkien fans like me, they breathed new life into the epic book trilogy-in beautiful and gruesome detail. It’s not that I did not enjoy the journey. The third installment of Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien‘s classic book, The Hobbit, brings about the end of a cinematic era.
