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.

I saw it in that 3d 48fps and I would not recommend it. Although my family didn't have the same issue, it felt like the whole thing was in fast forward to me. I'm probably going to see it again just the normal 2d version and get to actually enjoy it instead of feeling nauseated the whole time. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

SPOILER ALERT::::

P.S. I was upset at the riddle telling between Bilbo and Golem, "time, time" was a cry for more time with the riddle, not his actual guess [You must be logged in to view images.

Bilbo was played as far too much of a hero rather than the well-to-do good natured hobbit who happens to have a spark in him. /shrug Everyone's interpretation will be different though I suppose.

Well with regards to the troll scene, thats not really up for interpretation, they completely changed it from how it was in the book. Although there is always some adaptation for movies from books so thats not really that surprising. I agree that the overall feel of bilbo in the movie was more of a hero than just a clever "tricky" type character.

Movie was great, if you're a purist, maybe not so.

Lots of embellishments and added scenes that weren't pictured in the original book. I do have to say that they brought in a LOT of lore from other works of Tolkien like the Silmarillion and Book of Lost Tales. Radagast was awesome I am so glad they brought him in as I felt like wizardry (the Istari) were left out too much in the original books. Glad to see they brought him in and they even mentioned the two blue wizards lost at sea.

My wife - who HATED the original LOTR movie trilogy, went with me and loved it. She has even agreed to re-watch LOTR

just saw it, id say easily 9/10 maybe 10/10. shit was legit and better than the other lotr movies.

and yes meeting more of the wizards such as Radagast the brown was pretty cool

I tried to like the movie trilogy, but having read the story ruined it.

But this always puts a smile on my face and is the best thing about the movie:

Movie was good, i saw it in imax 3d. Generally im not a huge fan of 3d movies because i think the visuals can take away from the story, im a big proponent of content over flair (obviously, playing 13 year old rpg). Having said that the visuals were so good int his movie that i think everyone should see it in 3d once a least, because it really does look amazing. Making this movie into a trilogy is a bit of a stretch though, the movie kind of drags on for the first hour or so, especially the scenes at rivendell, which completely felt like they were just there to give some added importance to what is essentially just a treasure hunt. Still an enjoyable movie, just not lotr quality, but thats a tall order.

Also i don't remember who was talking about the treatment of the dwarves in lotr, but i completely agree with you. The dwarves in this movie are light hearted at times, but they are still taken seriously, especially thorin, he is a badass.

literally the first time a dragon has ever been done correctly in a movie

I went to see The Hobbit this morning and really enjoyed it. I would give it a 9/10. One point short of a ten since they did add some scenes that were not originally in the book. However, being a Tolkien fan, I did enjoy the the extra lore Peter Jackson added in. I believe the extra's have added even more depth to an already great book and did enjoy hearing of the other wizards and seeing Radagast. (What a great character he is!) The movie's length could also be considered long by some, but again, being a Tolkien fan I was so enthralled the movie to me seemed to short. (Maybe these long hours leveling and camping in EQ have dulled my mind =)

Before going to see the film I didn't read anything about it or even watch the trailers. I wanted to save myself from being to "Hyped" up and then spoiling the movie if my expectations were not exceeded. It worked! Like the LoTR series, I walked away feeling that I had started the beginning of a great adventure once again. If you liked the LoTR series and enjoy Tolkiens magical world, I believe you will enjoy The Hobbit immensely!

8/10. I loved it but I thought Radaghast kinda sucked. Also the bird shit streaking down his head just made him seem like a joke. He should have been done differently imo. A sled pulled by rabbits that moved faster than wargs was also kinda dumb. Some childish kid shit but overall really good.

Can't wait for the other 2.
