Member GOLDEN DRAGON YIN-YANG Posted December 1, 2012 Member Share Posted December 1, 2012 Peter Jackson's first installment of his Hobbit trilogy is coming to theaters I believe December 25, 2012. I loved the book as well as the Lord of the Rings book and movies Rumor has it these 3 movies may outshine the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy. I rarely go to movies these days but this ONE I definitely want to see on the big screen. Anyone else psyched as well. Some please post the trailers GD Y-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member KyFi Posted December 1, 2012 Member Share Posted December 1, 2012 I hope to be able to catch it in a theater showing it at the 48fps rate it ws shot in. I've seen critiques of this format that range from "home video look" to "unbelievable"--I want to see it myself on the big screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member daisho2004 Posted December 2, 2012 Member Share Posted December 2, 2012 Originally it was just suppose to be a 2 part prequel to LOTR movies but, PJ decided to make it into another trilogy. I just hope it works out, I love all of LOTR so I cannot wait to this opening weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's anything like that I can honestly say I don't like it, even though I've gotten used to it, I just hope this is a current fad like 3-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member daisho2004 Posted December 16, 2012 Member Share Posted December 16, 2012 OK I just seen this today, and I thought it was excellent, great new cast with some old friends making cameo's. I like how its tying into the original series. PJ did it again with Middle Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted December 17, 2012 Member Share Posted December 17, 2012 Loved it. It's a little cheesier and doesn't feel nearly as big as the "LOTR" films but it's once again proof that Peter Jackson is the best fantasy director today.

Member daisho2004 Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 OK I just wanna ask did you notice that the CGI didn't look as good as it did in the LOTR trilogy? At times it looked a little cartoonish to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times it looked a little cartoonish to me? Only in the faster moving scenes. The up close stuff was superb but for the long shots (the wizard and his rabbits), some of it looked off.

Member OpiumKungFuCracker Posted December 18, 2012 Member Share Posted December 18, 2012 Love that scene with Baggins and Gollum, so much going on there... God damn I'll say it, best movie of 2012 for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member inframan Posted January 2, 2013 Member Share Posted January 2, 2013 Great flick, fits in nicely with the other LOTR movies while keeping the tone of the book. Seems like they spent an a lot of time falling in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Yang Wu Liang Posted January 2, 2013 Member Share Posted January 2, 2013 I really enjoyed it. I know he's playing a different character but Martin Freeman is a lot more charismatic than the soppy Elijah Wood, I spent most of the LOTR trilogy hoping he'd get mutilated by an orc. I was surprised and maybe a tiny bit disappointed by how similar the whole thing was to the LOTR films though in length, structure and story arc. They leave the Shire, encounter some enemies, escape to Rivendell, get involved in some clifftop drama, enter some caves, scuffle with the occupants of the caves, escape said caves etc, etc, de ja vu! Don't get me wrong, I love those films, but I was hoping for something new. As I say though, I did enjoy it, and what we saw of Smaug at the start was awesome, really looking forward to seeing more of him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
