Los Ingobernables de Sala de Cine
Took the risk and went to the midnight premiere, mostly because I found out the theater was holding a separate The Hobbit IMAX marathon so I figured that's where all the die-hard nerds would be at and the HFR 3D screening would be nerd free. There still were a couple of nerds who desperately tried to get an applause going at the end in typical standom fashion but luckily everybody else ignored them.
Anyway, I've officially determined that after seeing the entire trilogy in HFR, it's a gimmick best killed off right here and now, because outside of wide shots it simply doesn't look right.
The movie itself can be best summed up as pure trash. It's the shortest LOTR movie of all and that's including the fifteen minutes it stole from The Desolation Of Smaug's ending and six epilogues, including a completely forced LOTR tie-in for Legolas even though the LOTR events don't take place for oh, another couple of decades.

Lots of screentime also goes to the character of Alfrid, the most annoying 'comic relief' character since Jar-Jar Binks, who is incredibly cowardish and untrustworthy and yet continuously gets asked by main characters to do important things.
Gandalf might appear in the movie by rare occasion as well. In fact, Gandalf would make a pretty good name for a legendary Pokémon.
The Orcs are killing us all? Let's hold a battle cry! Now they're back to being fodder! Ignore that earlier dialogue talking about Orcs are trained purely for battle, will you?
Which four dwarves are going after the big bad guy again? Oh, it's Thorin, Death Flag and those other two.
I like how in their big fight Azog swings around a large rock on a chain that seems to incapacitate his movements more than it ever threatens Thorin. Talk about effective weaponry, especially since Azog's other arm is too occupied being a sword.
The elven king has a late heel to face turn so poorly handled that I fully expect him to headline the next Monday Night Raw.
Suggested alternative movie title? Plot Eagles 2: Return Of The Eagle Ex Machina!

Tolkien, you dropped the ball on that one. All that work, and Bilbo doesn't go down as a hero for killing the dragon
. Heads chopped off. Niguhs dead in the streets. 
Not sure how long the war lasts. But that mug went by so quick. You got some dope battles. From Wizards. To those ugly monster vs. the dwarfs. 
By the time we got to the last one, we were tired as hell, so maybe that affected my perspective of the last movie. 
But it felt false because we didn't really know some of these people well like we did in LOTR.
