A preview of the closing credits song for "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" has been released online. The song, titled "The Last Goodbye", is co-written and sung by Billy Boyd who played Pippin in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. It's a good song, but I'm not entirely thrilled about it. It's similar in tone and style to "Into the West", the Oscar winning song from "The Return of the King", but the musical theme doesn't feel as powerful. Still, it's probably the best song from all "The Hobbit" moves.
Peter Jackson's final chapter in The Hobbit trilogy stars Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Ian McKellen, Luke Evans, Orlando Bloom, Evangeline Lilly, John Bell, Jed Brophy, Adam Brown, John Callen, Benedict Cumberbatch, Stephen Fry, Ryan Gage, Mark Hadlow, Peter Hambleton, Stephen Hunter, William Kircher, Graham McTavish, Michael Mizrahi, James Nesbitt, Dean O’Gorman, Lee Pace, Mikael Persbrandt, Ken Stott and Aidan Turner.
"The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" opens in theaters on December 17th. (2D, 3D, HFR 3D and IMAX 3D)
