Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Just got back from a midnight showing. To me, it was good but not great. I don't think this movie will achieve that magic feeling the FOTR did. Just a few complaints.

After seeing the trilogy and getting used to some of the creatures, they seemed like they changed their appearance in this film. The warg and the warg riders looked different. The orcs looked different. The goblins looked different. As stated above more comedy than I expected. It was a detriment to me. I thought the CGI in the trilogy looked better than what's in The Hobbit. In The Two Towers the main bad orc looked real. The wargs looked real. In The Hobbit the main bad orc looks totally CGI as do the wargs. I haven't read The Hobbit in a long time so I don't remember how the dwarves are described but some of them just seemed like a bad caricature you would buy at an amusement park IMHO this will be a popular film but not as popular as FOTR.

Movie was fantastic.
Star Trek preview was fantastic.
And the 4 set movie posters they handed out afterwards made it all that much sweeter.

I didn't mind the CGI at all. I thought it was well done. I really enjoyed the movie and will watch it again in 2D, but it can't be compared to LotR. I just hate waiting a whole year for part 2.
Orcs are different depending on where they are from. If you remember in the Trilogy, they were different throughout. And goblins and orcs are really the same thing, or the same kind of creature. Just like humans are different, so are they. As for the wargs, some of them were different than others too. The Dwarves had to look very different to make each one stand out on their own. If they all looked alike, it would be hard to keep them straight. Thier names are bad enough to keep straight. lol

The only thing I got was green Hobbit 3D glasses.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
Just got back good movie 8/10. (Love the life lessons/Gandalf quotes.)
Not epic LOTR quality..Yet at least. But was it ever going to be?
(Cons: CGI looked iffy in parts, but so did the original LOTR to me. Dunno if this was cause it was meant to be seen in 48fps)
Too many pros to talk about the little quibbles i have great start!! Go see it!
(Also dwarves are Alpha, love that backstory. Could they have picked a better Bilbo? Freeman nailed it!)

is it because they wore real make up and suits before and now is all CGI?

Sounds to me like the 48fps is really hurting the CGI on this as most people who have problems with it saw it at that frame rate. I watched it at 24fps and the CGI looked great to me.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
I'll keep the movie review simple. I liked it. It was fun. I had a good time.
The HFR. Holy ****ing ****. Ugliest movie I've ever seen in my entire life. Everything about the format is awful. It really does look like those TV's at best buy.
I can't say enough bad things about it. So I will!
That being said, I'm glad I saw it with my eyes. If more movies end up using this technology, i'll stop watching forever.
48FPS!!! WE HATES IT! WE HATES IT FOREEEVVERRRRRRRRR!!!11
I do want to see it again. I really do. I loved most of the movie. Dragged a few times, but the action scenes were, in theory, well done. I just wish I could make out what the hell was going on. So damn jerky and fast.
It was beyond distracting. I'd get sucked into the film, and BAM, taken out again.
Movie- 7 maybe an 8 out 10.
HFR- Van down by the ****ing river.

It sucked worse then anything ever filmed. It looks like a cheap BBC production. It made everything look fake. Everyone moved like they were on crack. Every single time someone acted with anything other then their face, it looked jerky and unnatural. The action was harder to follow then any of the Transformers movies. It didn't help with the 3D in any way shape or form. It made the CGI look like a video game. It's the single most disgusting, revolting form of filmmaking I've ever seen. Peter Jackson should be ashamed of himself for even attempting it.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
wait... so did you or did you not like the 48 frames per second?
I don't think your review should be in spoiler tags, you didn't spoil anything of the movie itself. Like, at all. You could take out the spoiler tags
wait is describing the 48 frames per second considered spoilers?

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
I put spoilers if you didn't want to hear me ***** about how horrible in every single possible way HFR is. It's the possible death of cinema. It's that bad.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
If it is that bad I don't think you should put the spoilers, people need to know it is that bad
Isn't all the Avatar sequels going to be made that way? Jesus, what if they make all movies that way? what if this is the future?

Celtic, are you being serious or sarcastic about the 48 fps? I just want to know about the 48 fps. It's the only thing I am nervous about.

Sounds like I made the right choice at seeing it in 24fps

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
I said I did it for those who didn't want to read it.
It sucks Rein. It's sucks bad. 100% honest. Movie is good. Avoid HFR. Unless you're curious, then do it. Otherwise....

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread
I guess is a good thing that it is very limited to see, and not all theaters have it.
I am just afraid for the future. I hope people hate it so that it doesn't catch on but so far I have not really read that many negative reviews about the 48 fps
