scott foundas of "variety" said "the result is at once the trilogy's most engrossing episode, its most expeditious (at a comparatively lean 144 minutes) and also its darkest—both visually and in terms of the forces that stir in the hearts of men, dwarves and orcs alike." todd mccarthy of "the hollywood reporter" said "after six films, 13 years and 1031 minutes of accumulated running time, peter jackson has concluded his massively remunerative genuflection at the altar of j.r.r. tolkien with a film that may be the most purely entertaining of any in the collection." andrew pulver of "the guardian" said "this film is a fitting cap to an extended series that, if nothing else, has transformed tolkien's place in the wider culture." chris tilly from ign movies said "there's a little too much padding in the final "hobbit" flick, and the best sequence is without doubt the film's first. but the central battle is indeed spectacular, and as 'the age of orc' approaches, it rounds out this particular story in stirring and emotional fashion." russell baillie of "the new zealand herald" said "the hobbit: the battle of the five armies" is "something less than the supposed 'defining chapter' of jackson's time in middle-earth as it's been billed. but action-wise, it certainly goes out with a very pleasing bang."
