The first trailer for the highly-anticipated final instalment of director Peter Jackson's "Hobbit" series hit the internet earlier this morning.

The two-minute trailer for "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" identifies this last go-round the "defining chapter" of the fantasy saga.

Showing the armies of Middle Earth preparing for war, the trailer peppers in glimpses of sword-swinging action with lamentations about both the battles that have passed and those yet to come by Bilbo Baggins, the lead character played by actor Richard Armitage.

The two previous "Hobbit" movies have grossed almost two billion U.S. dollars combined.

The second movie in the series, "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug", earned just under one billion dollars globally and enjoyed a 33-million-U.S.-dollar opening in China.

"The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies" hits theatres on December 17.
