Fantasy, Adventure, Action, Based on Book

The last installment of the Hobbit trilogy was much as I anticipated: full of action, beautiful scenery, a few ridiculous moments, and good for an escape. My least favorite part of the story, this part does NOT stand on its own--narrative/story is very lacking in this part. But that makes sense. If you watch it in 3D with HFR, beware, some of the battle sequences do seem a bit like a video game. Legolas is the most magical... anyway, I'm looking forward to watching the entire Tolkien collection from beginning to end, now. How long would that take, 15+ hours?
