Depends. If you've read the Hobbit and enjoy the material it's very enjoyable (with some embellishments). Purists may not enjoy it, but yeah, reviewers were right. The Gollum riddle scenes are amazing but not taken with the seriousness that was conveyed in the books. Hard to though after the first three movies of him half being a clown til the end of the third. On that note, disgusted with how they handled Gimli in the movies as well, but w/e <_< edit: Gimli in the LOTR movies. He's obviously not in the Hobbit.

Solid 8-9 for me, but again, I've been following this movie for like 3 years. Fanboys make bad reviewers :|

Also, the 3d is actually worth seeing. It adds more depth of field rather than the usual popout crap they've tried with Spiderman etc in the past.

edit: Oh, and the dwarf singing is omg. Perfect.

re-edit: Also, I'm not sure how much more we'll get in the extended versions release. Peter Jackson's giant balls went ahead and made a 2hr 50 minute runtime theatrical edition. Plenty of lore-moments and scenery shots abound, which I could see annoyed people in the audience who were there for dragons. About Smaug...uh, remember it's split into three movies so don't expect too much, it's paced similar to the book and they only do get about 1/3rd of the way through.

I saw it last night, and I thought it looked great. I don't understand why it's getting bad reviews. /Shrug. I guess that's why I don't care what critics say about movies. If you liked the Lord of the Rings, you'll like the Hobbit IMO. Now we just have to wait 2 more movies to see what happens [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Did not see it in 3-D as I do not like seeing movies in 3-D.

Getting poor reviews for what I saw in the theaters last night. People unable to sit down for 3 hours to watch a movie combined with people giving 0 fucks about the source material. And this was at a midnight showing--I imagine this weekend it'll be pure torture to try to see this movie in any busy place.

Not trolling, just really curious about the 48fps.

You did in fact see it in the 48fps version, correct? I heard that they were showing 3 versions, 24fps, 48fps, and 3d48fps, though i could be wrong.

I've heard from lots of people/reviewers that the 48fps thing was a mixed bag, at times looking fantastic (particularly during the riddle scene) and at others looking like a soap opera.

Anyone else have any specific thoughts on the first major motion picture shot/viewed in 48fps? I will eventually go see the movie myself, but I really am skeptical about the 48fps thing, heard alot of bad things about it.

Oh maybe I didn't, I thought it was only in 48 fps from what I had read. Either way the one I saw looked great.

I saw it in imax 3d at 48fps. I thought it looked pretty good during certain scenes and not so good during others. The riddle scene did look amazing because it was relatively low movement and light. When you get to the really fast paced scenes with a lot of movement, it did not look as good in my opinion. It was almost like there was a form of ghosting in high movement scenes. Overall id prefer traditional 24fps, its not so amazing that the low movement detail overrides the high speed stuff.
