Team Avatar Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 saw the midnight premiere. I'm not much of a movie critic, and I found it incredibly entertaining and cannot wait for next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ah I can't wait to see it!! I think I'm going tomorrow. I just love the feeling I get when it's time to see a new one of these movies (LOTR included). They're always so fun. Plus, I have a crush on Martin Freeman so that's an added bonus for me with the Hobbit trilogy, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I thought the first one was awful - huge misstep. Loved the original trilogy. So: will this one appeal to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Saw it earlier this week at a screening....SO GOOD. Only down side, another year till we can see the final part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I thought the first one was awful - huge misstep. Loved the original trilogy. So: will this one appeal to me? I definitely did not like the first one as much as any of the LOTR movies, there was far to much CGI in it for me to like, it was far more noticeable in the first hobbit movie than any of the LOTR movies IMO. really hesitant to see the second one because the commercials/trailers look as CGI'd as the first movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Sorry about all the CGI they couldn't get the dragon they really wanted so had to go with a motion capture instead..... deafening, codeine, 000000 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futures Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 It was too expensive to film the trilogy in actual Middle Earth, so they went with New Zealand and some green screens. Brevity38, codeine and deafening 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 was there a hobbit 2 book? i mean i remember reading the hobbit and watching the old cartoon movie but didn't realize there was a 2. They just split the movie up so it's not 9 hours long. Anyways, these are the only movies I get excited about. So stoked to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I thought the first one was awful - huge misstep. Loved the original trilogy. So: will this one appeal to me? i went back and watched the first one again and realized that i was overly critical of it on first watch. i'll probably go see the 2nd one either this weekend or next. not sure if this helps or not, but according to RT: an unexpected journey: 65%, avg score 6.6 the desolation of smaug: 74% avg score 6.8 if you absolutely hated the first one, i wouldn't expect something drastically different.

Team Avatar Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I don't understand how anyone can hate the first one. Compared to LOTR, it seems a bit more comical and maybe juvenile, but that is how the book was written! There is a reason that most people read the hobbit years before LOTR. In the first one, the goblin scene is flawless - and there is a similar scene in TDOS which rules too. ahhhh I can't wait to go see it again!

paintedinexile Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Movie was fucking awesome! Want to go see it again. Leaps and bounds better than the first, and I enjoyed the first part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swisherprice Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Just got out of seeing it in IMAX 3D at the high frame rate, and even though most scenes looked like a cutscene from a video game, I really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelmanfredi Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Saw the midnight premiere and thought it was fucking amazing. The smaug scene was unbelievable. Such a big cliffhanger tho. I agree with the person saying it was written in a comical way. The hobbit was kind of a children's book compared to lotr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
