Film & TV The Hobbit

[Chronic]

Bad. Just very, very bad.

How was the 48 fps?

Strictly visually speaking I think it looked really good but combined with the movie experience it wasn't a good fit most of the time. It stressed the Harry Potter feel the movie had and the fact that the movie never feels "real" (in the sense that you're looking at actual characters rather than actors playing characters). The movie felt superficial and the 48 fps made it more glossy.

Bad choice for The Hobbit.

Seems like a legit point. The tech had to be pushed but The Hobbit wasn't a good movie to do it with. I think I'm going to see it tomorrow night. I have a feeling I'll think it's bad but oh well

Yep. I fell asleep thrice during it. I can't remember any time I've ever fallen asleep during a tv/movie.

I thought it was alright; ran a bit long though...

The first third of the movie was incredibly boring. The whole scene with the dwarves doing the dishes while singing a song was gay as fuck. I felt like I was watching a movie for children. I'm gonna assume the "scope" of things will expand for each consecutive movie like it did in the LotR movies, but the first one was nowhere near the first LotR movie, and as I walked out of the theater I couldn't shake the feeling that if this had came first, LotR would have never ended up being made.

I thought the latter third of the movie picked up really nice though. Although I hated that they went with CGI with the orcs, and I hated how the action sequences were so over the top. That escape from the Orc city was stupid. Also, the LotR orcs looked both real and awesome (except for the scene where the Uruk Hai leader comes out of his spunk cocoon with robot arms.) They didn't need to change it.

Imo, less singing gayfest and more epic, and it would have been a much better movie. Still looking forward to the next two movies though. As for 48fps, I thought it was good.

Best part of it, to me, was actually Martin Freeman.

i thought all hobbit/potter/rings shit was for the children.

generally speaking, if it's fantasy with like corny shit, it's for the kids.


grown men don't need fantasy - the world is too real for that.

I actually thought Eager had some jump, the rest of the team, not so much. Part 2 today, hopefully that will wake them up.
