    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies

    I'm half expecting 13 dwarves to invade my home and start singing "That's what Scott Bailey hates" because Battle of the Five Armies encapsulates everything I hate in a modern day action film! Considering how much I love this franchise, this entry turned out to be painful to sit through.
