I'd be home or at a friends doing stuff thats always 60 fps or greater, and then sit down watch a movie thats 24 fps, that shit was super jarring going from smooth quality to mad motion blurring. I finally just had enough of it and generally dont watch any sort of live action movie. All the action is just motion blur with someone shaking the camera. | ||

This reminds me that when they were filming Lethal Weapon 4 they had to constantly remind Jet Li to move as slow as he can because the camera was unable to capture his movements  | ||

The Hobbit was fun, it had great moments and I absolutely cannot wait to see the next episodes. The Erebor scene was probably also my favourite. I like that they brought in Radagast, and especially Saruman's criticism of him. That was tricky and required a lot of imagination on their part. Hare-driven sleighs were definitely on the edge but i made Radagast very memorable. It's interesting to realize through a hint or lull that this goofy-looking character is actually a being similar in power to Sauron or the Balrogs. I definitively am not looking forward to book 2 and all the spiders... Jackson is arachnophobic an knows exactly how to pull those strings in his fellows... Go and see it, enjoy the films ^^ | ||

Thats content we could have been watching. I think we are ready for an improvement. | ||

It wasn't over the top, there were only a few parts where I really noticed the 3D, and they were really well done. All the critics giving meh reviews aren't good fans And I feel like a lot of people didn't get the comedy, forgetting that The Hobbit was written with comedy and as a children's book >.> | ||

Radagast's character being the prime example of this. | ||

I liked the movie as well, even though some of the ''bonus'' storylines they added wasn't as good, it was still really fun, but also had it's dark moments and good combat scenes. | ||

The book has 300-400 pages and gets splitted into 3 movies with 170 min length. Feels way to streched sometimes. 2) Its to silly and childish. I know that The Hobbit is somewhat for children but the movie goes to far sometimes. I dont remember the orcs being that silly in the book and I also dont remember that their leader is a fat jabba the hutt troll with double chin. The orcs are not menacing and evil like in LotR. They are cutified and u almost feel sorry for them lol. I believe you are referring to the goblins and the goblin king? The orcs you saw in this completely decimated the dwarves that reclaimed Moria and their leader ruthlessly hunts down Thorin for his revenge, they aren't evil?. These are wild orcs and should not be portrayed the same as orcs in LotRs as those orcs were preparing for war under the control of Saruman/Witch king/sauron respectively and massed huge armies to kill men.The hobbit orcs that you see at the end of this movie are just bandits really. The goblin king is usually the biggest and slightly more intelligent goblin( most goblins are mindless by comparison to men). The goblin king was portrayed this way in the books albeit not as "child friendly" but come on they have Azog(not sure of his name) and the necromancer plus smaug as the main villain for each movie. Yeah some people will say its too long but you can say that about the lord of the ring films. I loved them though especially the fellowship as it brings each character into their own. Those who complain about gandalf saving the day should read the book and then realise that gandalf is the second most powerful wizard in middle earth... he killed a fucking balrog people! | ||
