Perhaps the most disappointing aspect was the ridiculous score. It was literally just the score to LOTR, copy and pasted, using themes for the Nazgul and such for totally new characters. I thought it was dreadfully pathetic. So, so disappointed. | ||

Sure it was more wacky and less serious than the main series, but that's exactly what Tolkien intended to convey in The Hobbit anyway, and this is exactly why I liked the movie. | ||

That was not in the Hobbit books, that was in LotR's appendix. | ||

Edit: The thing I liked the most was Gollum tbh. I was a bit worried, since in a movie, going from a fight to the death -> riddle competition would be a hard feat to do realistically, but they pulled it really well off imo. Also didn't really mind the white council and Radagastar, but at the same time, I feel they really should've just stuck to The Hobbit rather than add in filler to be able to make it into more films. | ||

The movie was a tad childish at some points, but I don't see why it shouldn't be considering its target audience is focused on people of all ages. | ||

Uh... are you saying the Hobbit is not a children's story? Just look at what happens to people in fairy tales, beheadings are pretty much par for the course. | ||

This movie was so well done the timing carries you through it at exciting pace and Peter Jackson managed to masterfully capture the spirit of the Hobbit which is entirely different to the LotR. The 3 motion spacing, in my opinion, gives the Hobbit a stylistically crucial chance to stand back and conceive Tolkein's incredibly rich world. I would think any 'purist' who had actually read the book would see that this movie was entirely in the spirit of the original book. This is an adventure story not an apocalypse story like LotR, I think most people forgot that when they walked into the cinemas. | ||

This is a good thing for sports footage, documentaries and reality-based movies like End of Watch for instance. But, such high realism in a fantasy movie is counter-productive (imo). I feel it's silly when you make a movie about dwarves and dragons to make your footage look like documentary. Also, this is just my opinion, but I feel that water in movement looks prettier when it's a little blurred rather than sharp. There are many otherwise beautiful landscape shots with waterfalls that are ruined by the water being too sharp. Thats because documentaries have a distinct lack of after filming effects thrown in. Like motion blur. It has nothing to do with framerate. If you want the 24 FPS muddy-mess you can throw in twice the motion blur (because double FPS) and voila you have the same effect back. It has nothing to do with framerate and everything to do with post production. | ||

On the other hand, theatre tickets weren't so outrageously expensive back then. On the movie: I really liked it. After having read a lot of different comments on the movie I had my reservations, but it turned out to be a fun blockbuster movie. | ||
