Rich with special effects, the final installment of director Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy debuted in a much-anticipated premiere in London on Monday.
"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" was filmed in 3D in a vivid 48 frames per second, and the final part of a trilogy reported to be the most expensive three-part series ever made.
The premiere was also lavish, with the landmark Leicester Square cinema designed to look like ruins for the night and filled with giant screens showing excerpts from the film.
Hundreds of fans gathered, many dressed as wizards and warriors, to ask for autographs and take photos with a star-studded cast that includes Orlando Bloom and Ian McKellan.
"Excited, very excited to share it with fans, it's a very good end to the story, I saw it last night and I'm very pleased with it," said Martin Freeman, who stars as Hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
Based J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 book "The Hobbit", the trilogy tells the story of Baggin's journey with a group of dwarves to reclaim their Lonely Mountain homeland from Smaug the dragon, helped by the wizard Gandalf.
Director Jackson had originally planned to interpret the book as a two-part film, but changed his mind to make a trilogy like the hugely-successful "Lord of the Rings" series, released between 2001 and 2003.
In the film, Jackson replaces the original light and humorous tone with a darker feeling and sense of danger.
Working with Tolkien's notes for inspiration, the film series also adds in storylines and characters such as the woodland elf Tauriel, played by "Lost" star Evangeline Lilly, who did not appear in the original book.
"For Tolkien himself, the novel as published did not tell the whole story," said the production notes for the film, referring to the extensive world of Middle-earth created by Tolkien, complete with its own languages, peoples and history.
The film offers just under 2.5 hours of non-stop action, starting with the aerial bombardment of a village by the dragon Smaug.
The dragon is portrayed by British actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who leant his voice to the character as well as his movements and facial expressions, recorded through sensors.
The film is expected to take in a similar large haul to its predecessors "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (2012) and "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" (2013), thought to have made almost $2 billion between them.
Jackson, who has spent 16 years making six films based on the works of Tolkien, indicated he is ready for something new.
"The idea of doing a little drama with people in a house seems very attractive right now," Jackson said recently, describing his effort as an "endurance test".
The final installment will appear in cinemas around the world from December 10.
