Inside Information...

Our journey to make The Hobbit Trilogy has been in some ways like Bilbo's own, with hidden paths revealing their secrets to us as we've gone along. “There and Back Again” felt like the right name for the second of a two film telling of the quest to reclaim Erebor, when Bilbo’s arrival there, and departure, were both contained within the second film. But with three movies, it suddenly felt misplaced—after all, Bilbo has already arrived “there” in the "Desolation of Smaug".

When we did the premiere trip late last year, I had a quiet conversation with the studio about the idea of revisiting the title. We decided to keep an open mind until a cut of the film was ready to look at. We reached that point last week, and after viewing the movie, we all agreed there is now one title that feels completely appropriate.

And so: "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" it is.

Stupid Decision 1: Making it 3 movies instead of 2.
Stupid Decision 2: The major change from the book in the Lake Town/Erebor section of the 2nd film.
Stupid Decision 3: Changing the iconic title of the third film (formerly 2nd film before Stupid Decision 1 happened) to a spoiler.

Poopy-head.

Agreed. Though I haven't watched the second film yet ( and probably wont till it comes on HBO ) the changes from the novels have been unnecessary and just fan service for the most part.

Not very impressed with this whole hobbit thing so far. Too much film bloat.
