I realized that was what it mostly was, but there were additions, so I guess you weren't paying attention or saw a different trailer. Smog definitely wasn't in the movies. Ok, so the films didn't pander to your notions of the importance of certain elements, I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I don't think you can fully conceive how much Peter Jackson staked his career on a hunch with these films. He convinced a studio to do something that had never been done before, and to invest such an enormous ammount of money in a relatively unproven director and unfinished scripts speaks volumes about his dedication. A director looking to make a blockbuster gets $80M to make Bad Boys II, not $300M to adapt a piece of fantasy literature. No need for your sarcasm. Is that really the best you can say for him? He got people to invest in his film? Really I don't care how hard it was, and I doubt many people care about that aspect either. | ||

Hollywood should look into more dynamic books with people who actually have some feelings. George Martin with a Song of Ice and Fire is an excellent example. ps. If you know any good writers who write fantasy please post. | ||

I'd support it but i sincerely doubt an Ice and Fire movie or series of movies would come close to capturing the perfection that the books possess the fantasy genre is pretty laden with crap unfortunately. You won't find anything near as good as Song of Ice and Fire, and the distant seconds are talentless hacks who make it readily apparent as their respective series progress (terry pratchett, that fuckbrain who writes about rand althor or whoever) your best bet is to just re-read Ice and Fire and pray George Martin actually gets the rest of the books out | ||

If by linear you mean the most thought out, developed, compelling story ever then yes it is. | ||

i mean, it was a really good movie, i can understand you didnt think it was that good, but if you like the fantasy genre, you mustve like something about it, you cant have thought it was complete and utter crap, anyone who has voices this opinion just fakes it imo, trying to make himself interesting by taking a stance no one else takes. same thing for everyone who think the lotr movies/books completely own, stop kidding yourself, they werent perfect | ||

iirc, Star Wars was a movie at first and later made a book as well and the movie was soo much better than the books. But when the book is first, it will be so rich, full of details and if a movie follows it just can't follow up, it can't be 20 hours long and it will just never be as good as the book. | ||

But it's still worth watching. There was a charge of 7,000 cavalry that made up a lot of ground. | ||

Peter Jackson has announced, via a post on his official Facebook page, that he will be shooting his adaptation of The Hobbit at the higher rate of 48 frames per second. The usual rate is 24fps, and has been since its introduction to cinema in 1927. The Hobbit will be the first major motion picture in history to feature the upgrade Jackson thinks, "after nine decades", it's time for a change. In the post, he addressed the inevitable backlash from "film purists" by saying that audience will "get used to this new look very quickly" as it will bring about a "much more lifelife and comfortable viewing experience." He also said that films will become "easier to watch, especially in 3-D", with audiences being able to sit through "two hours of footage without getting eyestrain". Jackson went onto claim that the difference between 24 and 48 fps is "significant", likening the technological evolution to when "vinyl records were supplanted by digital CDs". The Lord of the Rings director also thanked Warner Bros for their support in the advancement, before predicting over 10,000 screens would be capable of projecting 48fps by the time of The Hobbit's release. Jackson, who won an Academy Award for his work on The Return of the King, took over the directing chair after Guillermo del Toro left. He had become frustrated with the constant production delays that had thwarted the project early on. The Office's Martin Freeman has been announced to be playing Bilbo Baggins in the film, a role originally played by Sir Ian Holm in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, while Sir Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis will be reprising the characters of Gandalf and Gollum respectively. Serkis will also act as Second Unit Director on the project. The Hobbit will be split into two parts, with the first being released in December 2012.

What do you guys think? If im right, this will affect somehow blue-ray watchers though. Some blueray standard wont support 48fps or smthn. | ||
