Plot Summary: From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," the third in a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.

Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo's frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain.

As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide – unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.

The Lord of the Rings' Billy Boyd Performs End Title Song for The Hobbit

Gearing up for the December 17, 2014, release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, filmmakers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens announced today that Billy Boyd will perform the film's end title song, "The Last Goodbye," which he co-wrote with the filmmakers.

In making the announcement, the filmmakers stated, "It is hard, after 16 years and six films, to know exactly how to say goodbye. We knew that we wanted to speak directly to all those who have taken this journey with us, especially to the fans whose love of these films has so often kept us going. This is why we asked Billy Boyd, who has been with us from the very beginning, and whose portrayal as Peregrin Took in 'The Lord of the Rings' films is so beloved, to help write and perform the final song in this trilogy. Billy is not just a wonderful actor but also an extremely accomplished singer/songwriter - we are so glad he agreed once again to share his talent with us.

"There is always something simple and truthful and heartfelt running through even the grandest of the tales of Professor Tolkien. As Thorin tells Bilbo at the end of The Hobbit, if the world valued song and cheer above gold it would be a merrier place. As much as 'The Battle of the Five Armies' is an epic story about war and sacrifice and loss, it is also a personal tale about the importance of friendship and family and home.

"'The Last Goodbye,' performed by Billy Boyd, is both a farewell to Middle-earth and it is also our leave-taking of the audience. We cannot imagine a more perfect voice to carry us away from the shores of Middle-earth... one last time."

Billy Boyd reflects, "I wanted the song to be a goodbye to all the fans who have been part of this amazing journey and to the whole world of Tolkien as it has been told in the cinema for our generation. No one knows the world of Tolkien better than Peter, Fran and Philippa, and I feel incredibly touched and honored to be asked to write and perform this song, and to be at the start and end of these beautiful, historic stories. To once again work so closely with them has been one of the true honors of my working life."

The soundtrack to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, featuring "The Last Goodbye" performed by Billy Boyd, is available now for preorder at Amazon.com.

Im gonna be sad when this is over. Unless they do a tv series no more middle earth or Grump Gandy the Grey or White. The movies were not LOTR but also were they as horrible as people say. I liked the more adventure story feel too them. I know people will compare them like the star wars prequels of middle earth. But I think they are good films. And yet I never expected them to equal the original anyways.

Two things:

1) The new images from Friday's EW look like all the practical magic from the first three films has been lost in favor of messy CGI. This is an overreaction based on art in a magazine, but just look: insidemovies.ew.com/2014/10/23/peter-jackson-hobbit-the-battle-of-the-five-armies/#

2) Christoper Lee is in this massive promo banner. If he's in the third film in any way, I'll be happy beyond belief. His part in the behind-the-scenes features on 'The Hobbit: Part 1' Extended Edition was the highlight of all the behind the scenes features. LINK to promo banner

Or was it a single page?

There and back again kinda says end of the journey type deal.However Battle of Five Armies sounds more War like and this seems most war like of all the movies yet and Tolkien leaving a couple pages too the great battle of all races just was never gonna be anything but a big event.

The fact that I have 0 desire to see this notwithstanding, I saw some commercials on tv for this a couple days ago. When I first saw it I thought it was a World of Warcraft commercial or an ad for some video game. It looked so CGI, so fake and imaginary. I'll rewatch Two Towers and call it a day.
