Got delivery of the Bluray extended edition of The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies yesterday. Everyone was out last night so I had a relaxing evening watching it in my cinema, it was worth the wait too, I had missed it's release to the cinema and held off on watching the original version that was released earlier in the year for the release of this extended edition. Film was 2:05 long and got so engrossed in it that I never noticed how long it was. Some cheesy moments in it and overall it has a lighter tone than Lord of the Rings, but it has it's dark moments too, it sets up The Fellowship of the Ring quite nicely as well with some hooks into the continuing story.

All in all it was a good conclusion to the Hobbit.

Now I have to make time as my son wants to do a marathon of all three extended editions one after another, followed by the extended editions of Lord of the Rings.
