Just think of what would happen if J.J. Abrams is tapped to do the remake of LOTR and add another notch in his belt of destroying franchises...
Although admittedly, there isn't much left of the pop culture LOTR that wasn't destroyed already.

This happened
I'm picking up that bats are important.
We get to have a big showdown in Dol Guldur... Lots of cheezy one-liners... Continued march of the Arkenring through Thorin's personality... Fili (possibly dying) gives his silly rock to elf lady (or maybe it is Kili, even I can't keep them straight)... Bilbo attempts to recreate Aragorn's (over-rated in my opinion) inspirational speech from RotK... Orcs somehow look worse and more cgi than ever (one of them even seemed to bend in un-natural and physically impossible ways like a stretchyorc). Did anybody see anything that surprised them?

The Battle of Five Armies is a better title than Desolation of Smaug. After getting to the 2nd viewing of DoS, I was left wondering where is the Desolation? Of Smaug...or of anything?

Warbats!!!!!
Have you all seen the new trailer?
If I weren’t so attached to my current sig, I would seriously consider replacing it with: “These bats are bred for one purpose… [long pause] ...for war!"  If only the rest of the featured lines approached this level of inspired lunacy, but no, once again they’re courtesy of the Hack-O-Matic Dialogue Generator™. You can barely even make fun of this stuff, it’s so generic.

And yet the bats were the only thing I recognised from the book. I don't think they were specified as specially bred mutant battlebats but hey what do I know....

Cry ‘Havoc’! And let slip the bats of war!
Quote:
–There is a special Mount Gundabad Military Chiropteran Breeding Program (or something). –However, bats in Middle-earth are also bred for other (unspecified) purposes. This is, apparently, common knowledge. –Still, your dedicated Warbat is more effective than a bat bred for say, war and postal delivery. –Legolas is very well-informed about bat-breeds and can instantly tell the difference between purebred Warbats and inferior mongrels. It’s probably an important skill for Elven warriors.
