Final Trailer For The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies

The good news: Warner Bros. today released a two-minute trailer for December 17's The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (which you can view below). The bad news: 2014, one of the best years for Lord of the Ring fans, is almost over.

Along with the fantastic video game, Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Warner Bros. released the Lego The Hobbit game, and the extended edition of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Here's hoping Warner Bros. is holding some surprises for 2015.

The Battle of the Five Armies trailer lives up to its name, showing soldiers on the march, archers at the ready, and bats bred for war. The great Christopher Lee (Saruman) gets plenty of screen time in this brief, but exciting look at the film.
