I saw it last night, and I thought it looked great. I don't understand why it's getting bad reviews. /Shrug. I guess that's why I don't care what critics say about movies. If you liked the Lord of the Rings, you'll like the Hobbit IMO. Now we just have to wait 2 more movies to see what happens [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Did not see it in 3-D as I do not like seeing movies in 3-D.

Not trolling, just really curious about the 48fps.

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.

Oh maybe I didn't, I thought it was only in 48 fps from what I had read. Either way the one I saw looked great.

I saw it in imax 3d at 48fps. I thought it looked pretty good during certain scenes and not so good during others. The riddle scene did look amazing because it was relatively low movement and light. When you get to the really fast paced scenes with a lot of movement, it did not look as good in my opinion. It was almost like there was a form of ghosting in high movement scenes. Overall id prefer traditional 24fps, its not so amazing that the low movement detail overrides the high speed stuff.

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.
