25 Awesome Things To (Still) Look Forward To In 2014

3. The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies

Why Get Excited? The final chapter in Peter Jackson€™s The Hobbit trilogy is so close you can almost feel the heat of dragon fire. Proportionality, the film€™s storyline follows the last third of the book as Bilbo, Thorin Oakenshield and his band of squabbling dwarves loot a dragon€™s lair, witness said dragon lay siege to Lake Town and then, take up arms in a rather large battle. You get a feeling this is The Hobbit movie that Jackson and co have being dying to show us; they've bolstered backstories by plundering appendices and in the film€™s titular dust up (arguably the best chapter Tolkien ever wrote) we have a scene that will make The Return Of The King€™s Battle Of Pellenor Fields look like handbags at dawn in comparison. Once all of these events have unfolded, it€™s highly expected that the film will form a segue to the Fellowship Of The Ring, neatly closing a trilogy that will undoubtedly grow in appreciation with time. When€™s It Out? The adventure ends in mid December.
