Watch The Latest Epic TV Spot For ‘The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies’

I’ve had a weird relationship with the Lord of the Rings films. For years, I resisted the original trilogy to the point where I wore it as a badge of honor. Two years ago, however, I picked up all three films from a pile of cheap Blu-Rays and flopping severed arms during a Black Friday sale and now I’ve seen the light.

What I haven’t seen, though, is any of the prequels in the theater. I don’t know why, but I just can’t bring myself to spend that much time in the theater with these movies. The latest TV spot for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies has me reconsidering my weird phobia because it looks amazing, but it comes down to a simple question. Would I rather confine this collection of large-scale battles to my television in the spring, or do I want to sit in an uncomfortable seat for almost 3 hours to hear the sounds of 450 holiday-time moviegoers breathing and swords clanging for 45 straight minutes at the end? It’s a real conundrum. I’ll let you know what I decide. Or I won’t because I want to preserve the mystery.
