Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Hobbit films as a whole are a big, bloated, indulgent series of films, but I still enjoy them for what they are. They try to capture the essence of the LOTR trilogy, and do for the most part. This is a fitting end to the series (for what it's worth), and the extras on the blu-ray are worth the purchase for fans of the series.

I'm a big fan of THE LORD OF THE RING saga and Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies [Includes Digital Copy] [UltraViolet] [3D] [Blu-ray/DVD] [Blu-ray/Blu-ray 3D/DVD] [2014] delivers once again

The finale of the trilogy only got better. Quite intriguing but better. a few things were unexpected but that is a good thing as it did not create the typical happy ending. Buy all three!!

Excellent movie. Violent for younger kids, but not too graphic. A strong PG-15-kind of movie due to the battle scenes and blood. Note that it is, however, rated R my the MPAA.

Third part of the series “The Hobbit” Incredible, mesmerizing, heartfelt story. Again it’s a must have to see how it’s all set up for the next adventure of Lord if the rings.

We love the entire Hobbit and Lord of the Rings series and have a once a year marathon with all of them. This was a great addition to the series.

Even better than the original!. Extended version brings more battle action and battle scenes than before. For diehard Hobbit fans definitely!

I am such a fan of the entire trilogy that it was kind of sad for it to end. I couldn't imagine how they could make these movies any better.

Like I said, the extended eddition of this movie makes it 10 times better. Gives you a better idea of what Peter jackson wanted for these movies.

This is the final installment of the Hobbit series. I like all the action and drama in the movie. Can’t wait to watch it again, and again.

There's a lot to like in Battle of 5 Armies, as it's probably the strongest entry in the Hobbit series... That said, it (and the others in The Hobbit series) just don't measure up to the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Featuring plenty of battles, a return to a beautifully rendered world, and top-notch special effects, it's only real flaw is a disconnect with the characters that just didn't exist in LotR. Certainly, there's some characters here that you'll enjoy, but where LotR seemed to be flowing with tons of characters you quickly grew attached to, the same cannot be said for The Hobbit. One also has to be disappointed in the dwarf/ elf "forbidden love" that is so incredibly forced, the movie itself never seems to take it seriously. Even if the extended version somehow made it "better" the whole thing was laughable, at best. The 2 characters involved seem ready to leave their entire races to be together, yet there's never a moment between the two that makes it seem they ever fell in love. It was hard to swallow throughout the other films, and 5 Armies never fixes this. I cringed every time the 2 actors shared scenes, not because they were bad actors or didn't make me believe they had feelings for one another, but I could just never buy into the fact that these were living characters that fell in love and not just actors playing the role because it was written that way. Now, I wish I could give more info on the differences between the standard edition and this extended edition (Bot5A earned an R-rating in its extended format, a first in either series, but I don't recall any scenes in Bot5A that stood out as any more excessive than any other of the films) but, I learned a long time ago, beginning with King Kong and the Fellowship of the Ring, that Peter Jackson consistently offers better movies in his extended versions- at times, cutting scenes that I felt were excellent (but didn't really add to the story, per se) and added wonderful fan service to the viewers, all in the name of saving time. Taken as a whole, they may be added scenes of fights that don't forward the plot, but they most definitely add action to the, well, action-centric films. I've given it a 4* rating, only because it deserves a rounding up from what I think is a 3 1/2* film. If you're a fan of Middle-Earth, there's absolutely no reason not to add this to your collection, especially in its complete version. While I may never enjoy the Hobbit movies as much as the Lord of the Ring films, I'm glad these were made, and glad they're a part of my collection. As a fantasy/ sci-fi/ horror buff, these will be some of the first "grown up" films I introduce my kid to as he gets older. They're safe, overall, and very "cool". Comparatively, where the second trilogy of Star Wars fell almost completely flat, the Hobbit avoids that same measure of failure.

I love this movie. I have them all . The background , stories and characters are fantastic. You can watch over and over....

I NOW want the extended version on all of the videos from the hobbit !!!!! Great parts that were not in the original.

Great movie made more so by the extended scenes and footage not seen in theaters. The finale of a epic fantasy trilogy.

Though the weakest of "The Hobbit" films, director Peter Jackson still finds a way to keep some of the best elements of Middle Earth in his film, while finding a good way to end Bilbo's journey with Thorin and company.

The visuals in this movie is great. Great fighting scenes. The extended version is not all that extended like the Lord of the Rings extended versions. I still loved the movie though. A must grab for middle earth lovers.

Liked LOTR? You'll love the Hobbitt. Great series. Even better as a Blu-Ray extended edition. 5 stars! AMAZING price!

The final chapter of the Hobbit series did not disappoint. I had to buy the Extended edition for my collection. Thumbs up!

I've been looking for this extended version (seperate) for a while and when I came across it I had to have it.

Good buy and it completed my collection. Employees made it easy to find as usual. Great service. Good buy
