![]() ![]() It is well played and it has the beginning of a great adventure, but it feels a bit over bloated. Apart from the technical point of view, this is a well made movie, but it never completely touched me. I think your eyes have to get used to that (in comparison to normal frames per Second that every other movie uses). ![]() Also the very HD 3D (or should I say the extra FPS) we got served made the movie feel like it was on fast forward. But what about the movie? It feels fun and it looks good (once you get used to the HD framing, which makes a few props look very plastic). Which he must have done, because how could you make 3 movies/parts out of one book? That is smaller in size than the original Rings trilogy that is. He apparently also put other Tolkien related stuff in it. It's a big scene and it feels like Peter Jackson put almost everything in it. And it seems, like almost everyone of those pages turns out to be in the movie. He makes orcs rampage and stone giants heave mountains at one another, and he dwells especially lovingly on all those dwarves: Balin and Dwalin and Fili and Kili and especially the Dwarf Lord Thorin (Richard Armitage).I never came around to read the LotR books before watching the movies and I actually haven't done that until now (so maybe shame on me), but I did read 30-40 pages of the Hobbit. He plays with extra-super-duper high-frame-rate 3-D technology that makes every detail of Bilbo’s home in Hobbiton sparkle with almost disconcerting smoothness of surface. Working from a simpler, jauntier, more picaresque story about how Bilbo came to possess the One Ring that would later cause such a rumpus, Jackson operates with even more unrelenting genius-nerd filmmaking intensity. Frodo, you remember, had this ring he needed to return … But never mind, even the unfaithful who can’t tell Ian McKellen’s Gandalf the Grey from that other wizard guy in Harry Potter can follow along easily in this teeming prequel. He was the hairy-footed fellow of passing interest - the uncle of that saga’s central character, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood). Devoted followers will recall that Ian Holm embodied Old Bilbo in LOTR. ![]()
