grandma's movie review - The Hobbit; the Battle of the Five Armies - Digital Download Give-Away!

My family has loved Tolkien's stories of Middle Earth . . . we loved The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and have been greatly enjoying the Hobbit Trilogy as well. We have the blu-rays for the entire Lord of the Rings and have been looking forward to the release of the final installment of the Hobbit, so when we learned the digital release of The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies was available almost a month before the blu-ray released, we were happy to get the digital download!

This morning as I checked my email I found an invitation to participate in a give-away of one digital down-load of The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies - since I loved watching it myself, I am very happy to participate and have one of you win this epic and excellent movie! More about the give-away in a moment, but first some information about the movie!

Warner Brothers says; "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."

I completely enjoyed The Hobbit: The Battle of The Five Armies! Excitement, drama and a story very well told all combine for a movie which will not disappoint, but the thing I liked the most was how the character of Bilbo showed compassion, forgiveness and loyalty. He took risks to himself to protect others, put protecting others over his own "enrichment" and shows us all - and our older grandchildren - what it means to be a true and good friend!

I'm very happy to invite you to have a bit of fun with The Hobbit The Battle of The Five Armies App - you'll find it at the top right of grandma's cookie jar just under the space to vote for your favorite cookie recipe (which, if you have not yet voted, please do so!)
