We’ve been graced with the final trailer for Peter Jackson’s forthcoming epic, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, before its release on December 17.

The action-packed clip opens where The Desolation of Smaug left off, with Bilbo and the gang still reeling from the ferocious Smaug’s menacing departure. Jackson’s Middle Earth is as stunning and vivid as ever, and there’s no shortage of familiar faces throughout; Thorin is angsty, Sarumon is sketchy, and as always, Legolas is a total badass. Check it out below:

The film’s official synopsis is as follows:

“The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies” brings to an epic conclusion the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, Thorin Oakenshield and the Company of Dwarves. Having reclaimed their homeland from the Dragon Smaug, the Company has unwittingly unleashed a deadly force into the world. Enraged, Smaug rains his fiery wrath down upon the defenseless men, women and children of Lake-town.

Obsessed above all else with his reclaimed treasure, Thorin sacrifices friendship and honor to hoard it as Bilbo’s frantic attempts to make him see reason drive the Hobbit towards a desperate and dangerous choice. But there are even greater dangers ahead. Unseen by any but the Wizard Gandalf, the great enemy Sauron 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 in the epic Battle of the Five Armies, as the future of Middle-earth hangs in the balance.”

As mentioned, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies hits theatres nationwide this December. If you’re as excited as we are, let us know in the replies.
