Decent flick. I enjoyed it. Only thing I don't like is Jacksons overindulgent action scenes. Characters fall 100 or a 1000 feet and never get a scratch. Yea right.....
I might have liked this better than LoTR. Seemed to have a better pace.

I didn't like the falling scene with the whole party on the bridge-type thing. Suspension of disbelief only goes so far...

To be honest, I had more of an issue with the Goblin King's scene right after that. |

I don't think so. I'm admittedly clueless when it comes to this....but will any TV currently support that look?
One thing I noticed even in standard DVD, I thought many scenes had a more digitized fakey look to them than the original LoTR trilogy did. Just my opinion. Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by Deberg_1990; 03-20-2013 at 06:09 PM.. |

They have 120 Hz TVs, of course you can watch something that's shot at 48 FPS on them.
Most sports are shown in 60 FPS.

I had to read the book in HS and I wanted to shoot myself. There were only 150 different midget characters that you had to keep up with.

There is no reason you can't put a 48 fps version on an extended edition release. Even if someone's TV doesn't support it (I can't imagine why though), you can watch any digital video file on your computer.
F them if they don't release this in HFR.

Watched it over the weekend. Really wasn't impressed at all. It was amazing to me how poorly done the CGI was. Things just looked so fake in this. Even some of the landscapes looked obviously fake. The dwarfs characters were just not interesting at all.

I do agree some of the CGI work( mainly the backgrounds) looked fake. It felt like they used more real locations in the original trilogy. I need to sit down and watch the original trilogy again sometime.

First off, let me state I've never read the books.
Second, I know this is fantasy world. But I just don't understand the powers of Gandolf. One minute he can hold up his staff and blast hundreds of bad guys away in one shot of light, and the next minute he is running like a pussy from some goblins. Did his mana pool need to regenerate? Is there downtime on certain spells? In the hobbit, he calls in a bunch of birds to come lift them off away from danger.... Why didn't Gandalf call the birds from get go, so they could've made their way to the dwarf mountain a shit load faster while avoiding all of that danger? Why did the birds drop them off on a cliff that was still miles away from their destination instead of taking them closer? I suppose with my logic, there wouldn't be a gazillion books.... but that kind of stuff bothers me. Last edited by Molitoth; 03-26-2013 at 09:10 AM.. |
