Critics and audiences agree that The Battle of the Five Armies is a fun adventure, but some are disappointed in the film. One complaint is that the series has been watered down and not as captivating as other films such as Lord of the Rings. Due to this, many feel like the movie lacks dramatic tension and fails to build up suspense. Some people also say that there is too much fast-paced action and no time for any character development.

Another concern expressed by critics is that the plot seems very similar to Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It was said that it was difficult to differentiate between both films because they have many similarities, including an emotional death scene for a hobbit character. However, according to Metacritic's aggregated reviews, audience members enjoyed this film more than critics did. Audiences said they felt emotional during key scenes in addition to feeling like they knew what was going on most of the time.

Positives about this wrap-up include its cinematography, visual effects, action sequences, and soundtrack. It was said that there were many moments where you couldn't help but be drawn into the action on screen which made for an entertaining experience.

Overall, The Battle of the Five Armies is entertaining but falls short when compared to other films in its genre due to certain aspects such as lack of dramatic tension and character development.
