London (AFP) - Rich with special effects, the final installment of director Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" trilogy debuted in a much-anticipated premiere in London on Monday. "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" was filmed in 3D in a vivid 48 frames per second, and the final part of a trilogy reported to be the most expensive three-part series ever made. The premiere was also lavish, with the landmark Leicester Square cinema designed to look like ruins for the night and filled with giant screens showing excerpts from the film. Hundreds of fans gathered, many dressed as wizards and warriors, to ask for autographs and take photos with a star-studded cast that includes Orlando Bloom and Ian McKellan. "Excited, very excited to share it with fans, it's a very good end to the story, I saw it last night and I'm very pleased with it," said Martin Freeman, who stars as Hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Based J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 book "The Hobbit", the trilogy tells the story of Baggin's journey with a group of dwarves to reclaim their Lonely Mountain homeland from Smaug the dragon, helped by the wizard Gandalf. Director Jackson had originally planned to interpret the book as a two-part film, but changed his mind to make a trilogy like the hugely-successful "Lord of the Rings" series, released between 2001 and 2003. In the film, Jackson replaces the original light and humorous tone with a darker feeling and sense of danger. Working with Tolkien'
