My wife has been out of town and she made me vow not to see the Hobbit without her so I've been anxiously waiting. What did you make of the faster frames per second that it was filmed in? Did it inhibit your enjoyment of the film at all? Did you notice? Thanks for weighing in, your comment gives me renewed hope as I've heard some mixed reviews thus far. I remain extremely excited to see it.
The fps brouhaha was overwrought. It seemed to make some of Jackson's patented sweeping shots a bit ... brighter, and I've read some complaints that this made them seem fake. Or maybe they just seem more real than we've ever been able to deal with on screen? Avatar looked "fake" when I saw it in 3D. Also beautiful. If you're a die-hard fan but also liked the trilogy movies, you'll dig this beyond belief. It's the perfect mix of solemnity and levity.
I heard that Tom Bambadil is making an appearance in the 3rd movie. Do you know anything about this?If you're a die-hard fan but also liked the trilogy movies, you'll dig this beyond belief. It's the perfect mix of solemnity and levity.
Thanks man, I'm really excited to see it and I'd be really shocked if I didn't love it. I was at a holiday party last night and there was much talk of the movie, all of which was positive.
Hey, just wanted to let you know that I saw the movie yesterday and it was un-fucking-believeable! I absolutely loved it. When Gandalf and Galadriel spoke to one another my wife looked over and said, "are you crying"? "um, no just... no.. shhhh". was my response. Great film that is in perfect alignment with the others and remains true enough to the book.
