3 stars out of 4 -- [I]t's a richly satisfying finale to Jackson's adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's novels.
USA Today
With the actor's flare for making dark, brooding introspection magnetic, Thorin's battle with himself and his legacy is by far the film's most interesting fight.
Los Angeles Times
As a filmgoing experience in its own right, The Battle of the Five Armies is erratic and unsatisfying.

Memphis Flyer
[With] weeping vistas and scenes of stirring battle between humans, dwarves and elves on one side, and the goblinlike orcs on the other....These scenes dazzle the eye and quicken the pulse...
Washington Post
[A] film that may be the most purely entertaining of any in the collection.
Hollywood Reporter
The performances of Freeman, Armitage as Thorin, and Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey secure Jackson’s sprawling spectacle to visceral bedrock. Their ferocious commitment to moments of enmity and amity alike brings emotional release to the audience.
Film Comment
As the title suggests, the business at hand is a mind-boggling Middle-earth mayhem fest that starts on a colossal scale and just keeps getting colossal-er...
Chicago Sun-Times
Product Description:
Peter Jackson takes cues from the appendices of THE LORD OF THE RINGS to expand New Line Cinema's Hobbit adaptation with this third film completing the epic tale of Bilbo Baggins, as played by Martin Freeman. The story opens to find the vengeful dragon Smaug (voice of Benedict Cumberbatch) decimating the peaceful hamlet of Laketown as Bilbo, Thorin (Richard Armitage) and the rest of the dwarves lay claim to the Lonely Mountain. But their celebration is short-lived as Thorin grows obsessed with finding the Arkenstone. Meanwhile, Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) Elrond (Hugo Weaving) and Saruman (Christopher Lee) battle the Nazgul in an attempt to free Gandalf (Ian McKellen), and get some unexpected help from eccentric wizard Radagast (Sylvester McCoy). Unfortunately for all involved the struggle has only just begun, because as armies of dwarves, elves, orcs, humans and goblins converge at the base of the Lonely Mountain, the fight for the future of Middle Earth begins.
