Hobbit Reviews ~ With Spoilers

Just saw the high frame rate 3D version and I'm officially a believer.
The scenes in Erebor, amazing. The scenes fighting the goblins, spectacular. Gollum is out of your mind realistic. And when they zoom in on the dragon's eye at the end is the most compelling, visually immersive thing I've ever seen in a movie.
Even after all the disappointment with the myriad story changes, I cannot wait to see the other two movies now.

You won't have long to wait. You even have Legolas there to help it along because the story needs a bit of help!

It looks PJ really changed the story line involving the wood elves, which I'm sure I'm going to hate. I will see the movie, anyway. Otherwise, I'll always wonder how bad and/or good it really is.

Yeah i already know from the trailers that i'll be cringing through the whole thing due to the changes but the HFR visual feast should be amazing.

Just read the book for the first time in three years. This solidifies my original decision to refrain from watching the films. It is as simple as not wanting my own imaginings of visuals and voices replaced with those in the movies.

The film Hobbit is so far removed from the book version that, for me, my original imaginings remain intact; being superior in very many ways from the depictions on the screen. This interpretation is far poorer than The Lord of the Rings, in my opinion (and that had its flaws). The CGI, extra battles and slapstick was so overdone that it was, for me at times, boring.
