And Bilbo finds himself fighting for his and his friends lives, in the epic battle of the five armies, as the future of Middle Earth hangs in balance.
The movie served great entertainment with excellent casting and numerous scenes out of the ordinary. Jackson casted actors from the first two movies and also brought back some beloved characters from the Lord of The Rings trilogy. Ian McKellen was almost not to recognize in his costume for Gandalf and everyone from the dwarves such as Richard Armitage to the elves such as Lee Pace, had spectacular costumes and was obviously comfortable with Jacksons directing and the mysterious and adventurous setting of the movie.
The only actor that got me wondering was Evangelie Lilly who was playing a new role that Peter Jackson had made up himself and wasn't form Tolkiens book. But after some time, it came clear to me that the character had been made to fit in the movie and not only an easy way to fill up more time on the screen, and that Lilly was perfect for the role as

It was not so long ago that elves, orcs, and dwarves were treading the fringes of popular culture; Peter Jackson rejected this, and thrust them into the limelight and mainstream for the first time with the help of an ensemble cast, New Zealand’s stunning landscape, award winning makeup and costume artistry, innovative cinematography, and cutting edge visual effects. Jackson’s epic depiction of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world of Middle Earth in “The Fellowship of the Ring” shook the foundations of filmmaking upon its arrival. From Jackson’s wake, a new wave of fantasy has emerged in film and television, streaming the way for such titles as HBO’s Game of Thrones, The Chronicles of Narnia, and MTV’s The Shannara Chronicles. Tolkien’s original story afforded Peter Jackson a wealth of resources and specific details--so many details, in fact, that Jackson’s real test was not synthesizing

When adapting pop culture into different forms of media, it is necessary to change a variety of aspects to fit individualized nuances of each medium. The transformation of The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R.Tolkien, from a novel onto the screen is not an exception to this notion. However, Peter Jackson, the director of the popular film series, is known for staying fairly accurate to the original plot of the book. After all, when creating a film based off a novel, the director is not creating something completely his own, rather, he must stay accurate to the plot, in order to observe the wishes of the author and the expectation of his fans. While for the most part Jackson succeeds in his mission to fortify the narrative, rather than stray from
