AI Thread Summary
The teaser trailer for "The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies" features Billy Boyd's song from "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King," though there are indications that the film may include an original composition by Boyd as well. Excitement surrounds this final Hobbit movie, with some viewers cautioning against expecting it to match the epic scale of "Return of the King" to avoid disappointment. The discussion highlights the brevity of the battle in Tolkien's original text, suggesting that the film may expand on it for commercial reasons. There is also interest in exploring the prehistory of "The Hobbit," with mentions of other works like "The Silmarillion," although concerns about adapting its historical narrative into a film format are noted. Overall, the anticipation for the film remains high, despite mixed feelings about its potential deviations from the source material.

I just watched the teaser trailer for TH-Bo5A (though it's now several months old).

I gather they're re-using Billy Boyd's haunting song from LotR--RotK?
Or was that just for the trailer?

Hmm,... other sites suggest the closing theme for TH-Bo5A might be a different original composition by Boyd et al. (I didn't know he had composed the LotR song -- he's very talented.)

I think this is last hobbit movie is the one I am most excited about.
 
Very excited myself, though don't expect it to be anything like Return of the King, It could ruin the movie for you.
 
I hope to see a prehistory for Hobbit too :) Really interesting story. Oh, and watch the Extended edition :)

it would have been better named the bloating of the five pages
as in the book the battle is fully described in only five pages and although it looks like an awesome battle i would assume it is little more than a money grab.

their are a decent amount of books some of which set before the hobbit most notably the silmarillion (really hope they make a film for this one too) this is in my opinion the best book of J.R.R Tolken
 
The problem with making a movie of "The Silmarillion" is that it was written and reads more like a history book than a novel.
 
That is true but the hobbit didnt stick to the books either
