The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies Teaser Trailer is FINALLY Out!

It was just recently that I was complaining to my wife, "When are we finally going to get a trailer for "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies?"  And here it is. Enjoy!!



First Impressions: 

• Those who have seen "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" will recognize the "Edge of Night," sung by Billy Boyd (Pippin).  The choice to have this memorable song from the original trilogy echo as a haunting backdrop to the images in the trailer helps to evoke something of the emotion that we can expect to experience in the final chapter. This installment, like "The Return of the King" before it, will undoubtedly be the darkest and most intense of the trilogy. 
• Azog the Defiler, the pale orc with whom Thorin Oakenshield went toe to toe in "An Unexpected Journey," will return - and he is bringing legions of orcs with him (Army 1 of 5).
• Bard the Bowman (Luke Evans) and Thorin (Richard Armitage), with their respective groups (Armies 2 & 3), seem to have had a falling out since the "The Desolation of Smaug" - probably due in part to the dragon we see setting fire to Laketown.  
• On that note, Smaug the Terrible (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) will be making a flamethrower of a return. 
• It appears that Galadriel intends to fulfill the promise she made to Gandalf in "An Unexpected Journey" that 'should he ever need her, she would come.'  I'm excited to see what her role will be since she is not a part of the original "Hobbit" novel. I am confident that she won't be out of place, though, since she is a key part of the Middle-earth and is mentioned in the supplemental appendices created by J.R.R. Tolkien. 
• Any idea what Armies 4 & 5 are?  There will certainly be some epic battles up ahead and I can't wait to see how it all plays out!
