The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies Synopsis
Bilbo and the Dwarves watch from the Lonely Mountain as the dragon Smaug incinerates Laketown. Bard breaks out of imprisonment and kills Smaug; the dragon's falling corpse crushes the fleeing Master of Laketown. The survivors of Laketown choose Bard to be their new leader. Kili confesses his love for Tauriel and he and the other Dwarves reunite with their company at the Lonely Mountain; it is revealed that Thorin has been inflicted with Smaug's "dragon sickness" as he searches for the Arkenstone. Bilbo, having carried the Arkenstone in his possession all along, agrees with Balin that it should remain kept away from the maddened Thorin. Thorin proceeds to have the dwarves to build a blockade at the entrance of Erebor.

Meanwhile, Galadriel and the other White Council members rescue Gandalf from Dol Guldur. Sauron appears and tries to tempt Galadriel, but she is able to cast him and the Nazgûl away from the fortress. Saruman assures Elrond that Sauron is not a threat without the One Ring. Azog, marching on Erebor with his vast Orc army, learns from Bolg that an Elf army under Thranduil is also approaching. Azog sends Bolg to Gundabad to summon their remaining forces. Legolas and Tauriel witness the march of a second massive Orc army and hundreds of giant bats.

When Thranduil’s army arrives in Dale, he forges an alliance with Bard to claim the necklace of white gems from Thorin's treasure. Thorin refuses to share any of the treasure. After Gandalf arrives, Bilbo sneaks out of Erebor to hand the Arkenstone over to Thranduil and Bard. The next day, Bard and Thranduil's army gather at the gates of Erebor, offering to trade the Arkenstone to Thorin for gold. Thorin once again declines Bard's peace offer. Just before Thranduil's forces begin their assault on Erebor, Thorin's cousin Dáin arrives with an army of dwarves. The Dwarf army prepares to attack the Elves when Azog's army makes its appearance, converging on the Dwarves and the city of Dale. With the Orcs outnumbering Dain's army, Thranduil's forces join the battle. Thranduil, Bard, Bilbo, and Gandalf assist in the defense of Dale, but the Orcs still outnumber them.

Inside Erebor, Thorin refuses to join the battle. Thorin falls into a hallucinatory nightmare and struggles to free himself from the dragon sickness. Finally overcoming his madness, Thorin leads his friends into battle. While the other Dwarves of the company aid Dain's forces, Thorin rides towards Ravenhill with Dwalin, Fili, and Kili to kill Azog and force the leaderless Orc army to retreat.

On Ravenhill, Azog ambushes the Dwarves and ruthlessly kills Fili. Bilbo is knocked unconscious as Thorin battles Azog. The Great Eagles suddenly appear, carrying Radagast and Beorn into battle. Legolas kills Bolg after the orc kills Kili and wounds Tauriel. Thorin is mortally wounded dispatching Azog.

In the aftermath of the battle Thorin makes his peace with Bilbo before dying from his wounds. Legolas leaves his father to meet up with one of the Dunedain and Tauriel mourns Kili. Bilbo bids farewell to the remaining members of Thorin's company and returns to the Shire with Gandalf. As the two part, Gandalf admits to his knowledge of Bilbo having a ring of power and, although he does not know its true nature, cautions Bilbo against using it lightly. Bilbo returns to Bag End to find his belongings being auctioned off by the Sackville-Bagginses, who assumed he died, and clarifies his identity.

Sixty years later, Bilbo, while reflecting on the past journey on his 111th birthday, receives a surprise knock on the door. When the guest reveals himself to be Gandalf, Bilbo happily runs to greet his very old friend.

The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies Movie Review
Before you watch <The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies>, you should watch <The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey> and <The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug> as the movie is related to each other. At the beginning of the movie, Smaug the fire dragon attacked the Lake-town (you need to check the reason on the end of <The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug> and Bard killed it. Although it destroyed the whole town, the other survivor choose Bard as a new leader and lead them to the Lonely Mountain, where the Dwarfs belongs to. Actually at first Bard save them and let them stay in the town but now the town was already destroyed because of the dwarfs, and they have the right to get some gold inside the castle. But because of Thorin's greedy, the war should start between Elves (Thranduil want to get back his thing) and the humans. And then, Thorin's cousin, Dain reached and the war stopped and once a while, Orc's leader, Azog want the Lonely Mountain because of the strategic place and the battle of the five armies started. At first, Thorin refused to battle with them because he scared anyone would get the kingdom later. After that, he realized that what he did is not a Dwarf supposed to do, and he and his men joined the war. The other armies want to defend themselves and also the place and a lot of people scarified in the battle. The battle ended and the humans and dwarfs stay in Lonely Mountain, and Biblo Baggins back to his house. From my opinion, the best part of the movie is about the battle between the five armies.
