With the upcoming release of Peter Jackson’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS completing the big screen trilogy, Tolkien fans might really enjoy this new recap trailer of sorts put together by Los Angeles-based editor Joel Walden. SlashFilm spotted this, and it’s a fun way to take a look back at the previous THE HOBBIT films… and might we say expertly put together by Walden. Joel had this to say about cutting together the trailer:

With Peter Jackson’s final chapter in the ‘Middle Earth Saga’, ‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ hitting theatres worldwide next week, I thought it would be fun to create a trailer that promotes his cinematic retelling of ‘The Hobbit’ as a single epic piece.

While I can’t yet post my review of the third film, I can at least say it’s a pretty satisfying end to an epic cinematic trilogy. Take a look at Joel’s trailer and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) and the Company of Dwarves. The Dwarves of Erebor have reclaimed the vast wealth of their homeland, but now must face the consequences of having unleashed the terrifying Dragon, Smaug, upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.

As he succumbs to dragon-sickness, the King Under the Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield, sacrifices friendship and honor in his search for the legendary Arkenstone. Unable to help Thorin see reason, Bilbo is driven to make a desperate and dangerous choice, not knowing that even greater perils lie ahead. An ancient enemy has returned to Middle-earth. Sauron, the Dark Lord, has sent forth legions of Orcs in a stealth attack upon the Lonely Mountain. As darkness converges on their escalating conflict, the races of Dwarves, Elves and Men must decide—unite or be destroyed. Bilbo finds himself fighting for his life and the lives of his friends as five great armies go to war.

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES opens on December 17, 2014
