10 Best Fifth Movies In Franchises

10. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug

Point One: Whilst this is the second film in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy, it is also his fifth overall story to take place in Middle-earth. Since there's plenty of crossover of characters and plot, we've decided to mash them together into one big Tolkein-y stew.

Point Two: This film isn't that bad, guys!

People like to rag on the Hobbit movies for numerous reasons. They have a lot of filler in them, which is the symptom of trying to turn a children's book into an epic nine-hour long story.

Also, there's loads of stuff that isn't actually in the book, including pretty huge characters (hi Tauriel!), but there's also a lot to like.

It's always fun to be immersed in this world and we get to meet some fun characters like Luke Evans' Bard the Bowman. Benedict Cumberbatch does a really nice job as Smaug, and the presentation of the dragon is all up to scratch.

Desolation is the highest-rated out of any of the Hobbit movies on Rotten Tomatoes, so we thought it deserved a spot in our treasure trove too.

Honestly, it isn't that bad! You lot need to get over yourselves...
