The three-and-a-half-minute clip reviews what happened in between the opening of Journey, in which an adventure-averse Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) joins Gandalf (Ian McKellan) and Dwarf king-in-exile Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) on a perilous quest, and the closing moments of Smaug, with Bilbo helplessly watching the enraged dragon take flight as he whispers to himself “What have we done?”
And after you’re finally caught up with the events of the previous two movies, you can buy tickets to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, by visiting our Showtimes page.
