The Hobbit

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

How is there not one of these yet?

Anyways, just saw it finally, and I think I came a few times mid-movie. SO epic.

Totally different feel from the trilogy, a lot lighter and more comedic. But the critics have been very... critical as of yet, and it deserves more praise for sure. It's just got the curse of being compared to the other LOTR films against it.

Acting was tremendous, visuals were unbelievable.

Anyone else seen it?

going tomorrow

I liked it. It seems everyone that read the book was disappointed though.

This one seemed like it spent a lot of time setting up the story. I bet the next one will be incredible.

[Panthro]

I loved it....though my cousin and I both were like wtf in regards to Azog

[Panthro]

Oh and 3d is cool but I dont really care about 3d in Bilbo's house

[Mrs Pantherfan]

is there a non 3d version? watching poo in 3d makes me nauseous

[Sapper]

Yea there is a 2D version at 24 fps. Saw the IMAX 3D 48 FPS and loved the visuals. The acting was superb as well.

As a Tolkien reader, I had some problems with a number of things, but it was still worth the watch.

I didn't like what they did with Azog either, and the Great Goblin was pretty stupid.

Riddles in the dark is just how I pictured it from the novel, and loved that scene.

I should have known better. I went in expecting a LTOR prequel, and I should have expected a children's book in PG-13 form. Was completely let down.

[Panthro]

It's The Hobbit....

[Inimicus]

Is it worth it to pay the upcharge for IMAX 3D?

We are going tonight and I'm really on the fence with the 3D vs 2D.

And I dont mean in general, I mean for this movie specifically.

[Panthro]

If I had the choice I would do 3d....it was cool enough and wasnt overly distracting from the movie

Fantastic movie I've read the book many times and i didn't expect them to make the movie word for word if you did your a fuging idiot. movies and books are two very DIFFERENT forms of entertainment. it pisses me off every time someone expects a movie adaptation of a book to be word for word. many great films are overlooked because those idiots didn't agree with the directors interpretation of their so called beloved book so they trash it every chance they get. Peter jackson made another masterpiece and if you head is too far up your ass to see it then your gonna miss out on a fantastic ride.

Loved it, it does start off slow but still entertaining - the Bag End scenes are specifically for the fans I think. Once they get going the movie diverges from the book in many ways, all seem the better to me. Thought Azog was needed badly. Liked how they pushed up the timeline of Bilbo getting accepted. When Radagast was on I was "WTF!" but as that plotline went on I loved it. The last half of the movie goes by really fast.
