This is an amazing extended scene. However, it was better not to show this crime which would happen for the first time in the history or P. Jackson's movies. No matter how good it looks, it should have been out of the movies :)

That moment when the dwarves’ spinning ballista bolts shredded the first volley of arrows and then annihilated the front line of eleven archers was absolutely shocking… the look on Thranduil’s face was priceless. Truly one of the best modifications of defensive / offensive artillery weapons I’ve ever seen on a battle field.

[@yevgenyleontyev]

Khazâd Ballistae reload speed is admirable. Why not use all bolts break the elven formation, then charge in with the dwarven phalanx and flank the elves with goats? Yanâd Durinul! Baruk Khazâd! Khazâd ai-mênu!

[@garyhomanick6129]

@@yevgenyleontyev Yes, I agree… there are many ways the spinning ballista bolts could be used to break the elven battle formations… especially if they are fired in a cluster at varying altitudes and at different times… what a nightmare for anyone standing down range at The Gates of Erebor! The only defense against such artillery would be to form two parallel columns of troops that literally create a wide area of open ground for the bolts to miss completely. The archers would then be restricted to firing arrows horizontally at the advancing dwarves’ battle rams. Btw, nice touch with the Khuzdul… Translation: “Sons of Durin! The axes of the dwarves! The Dwarves are upon you!” Khazâd, indeed! 😜

That's why I dont like this scene. How are they supposed to live in peace after they just killed hundreds of each other? Maybe keep that fancy anti-arrow ballista without it crashing into the elves and interrupt the battle shortly before the charge of the dwarves hits. Then you still portray the bad blood, dwarvish engineering and elvish archery/battle formations without jeopardizing lasting peace after the battle.

I liked how the elves protected the Humans. At the start they were at the front of the formation,then just as the battle starts they're at the very rear of the formation. The humans aren't a well trained army they're just townspeople,and honestly i dont think the elves or dwarves would want them caught between their beef.

[@MoreImbaThanYou]

I love how fluidly the elves adapt their formation. When they see that arrow don't work, they send spears to the front. When they notice that the goats just jump over the shields, they form several "funnels" to immediately take them out. People can say what they want about the movies and the CGI, but I think it did a pretty good job here, displaying how a race of several century old warriors perform and react in battle.

Except for the part where they didn't use the same aiming skills they had in the battle of Mordor and just fire from behind the shields and from small openings, thus negating the 'twirliewhirlies' when the enemy would have been closer.

This is one of the best scenes in the whole movie trilogie. I was waiting in the cinema for the great battle of the five armies. And was so disappointed at the end. The battle was far too short. Of course dwarves and especially Thorin and Dain are hating elfs. How would you feel if you would have lost your home and begging for help but nothing happends after the great lost? How could Thorin be a friend of Thranduil? He told him in his face in his castle what is his opinion. And of course he has the balls to tell that because he is straight, direct, loyal and full of honor. And Dain told Thranduil as well directly in his face what he is thinking about him! I celebrated it! His own son Legolas leaves him. I think that Thranduil wasn't a good King

[@danniemo4615]

To be honest, the Dwarves brought their doom upon themselves with their greed. Thranduil actually warned Thror about what his greed could unleash on his people, but his advices weren’t heeded. Thror ignored him, so Smaug came upon acting on his instincts. This is all the Dwarves’ fault if they became homeless. All that good drew Smaug in and all Thorin wanted was yo recover a mountain full of gold-the same gold that drove his grandfather to madness and actually started the feud with the Elves. And he was going to risk the lives of the people of Laketown just to get what he wanted, uncaring if he unleashed the dragon on them. Thranduil wasn’t going to risk the safety of his people for the sake of the greedy idiots who brought this upon themselves. Talking about Thranduil not being a good king when Thorin himself is even worse, as he refused to keep his word about giving the people of Laketown their share of the gold. Thorin would have been a much worse king.
