    I dont think producer read the book. They took a lovely childrens story and stretched it with massess of gratuitus violence and foreshadowing from the the Lord of the Rings. AWFUL

    The effects are amazing, especially Smaug, the most ferocious, most believable movie dragon since REIGN OF FIRE. 5/5

    Suneagle's review cont.... You need a certain look to up keep the original feeling music and flow from the master peices of LOTR. Anyhow that being said the movie still held fantastic scenery and fantastic battle scenes and is still one heck of a fantastic Fantasy flick. Enjoy. Avx 3D no high frame. 48frms for a different movie no problem but it was used completely incorrectly sorry Peter. Love ya bud Thx for the experience though :)

    Suneagle's Review 4*'s. sorry I rate LOTR 5/5 but Hobbit took too many unnecessary risks. From shooting in 35mm FILM in LOTR to now in digital 48frms and 3D was too much of a leap into a new vision for audiences to adjust too. 3D was a good choice but 48frames was so pristine crisp that movies are still way to far back to make anything look that good. The graphics and detail of the movie needed to be beyond 100% to handle 48frms and not to mention the acting my god the acting. Once the film switched to its original 24frms it faired MUCH MUCH better and once Golem who is the best actor in the film came to play it started to look believable other than fake, phony, and funny B rated style.

    I had watched this movie at an Imax theatre and thinking about it now , more than part of me wants to say its better than the lord of the rings films and it could be for reason that this film gave me an emotion i never got while watching the lord of the rings trilogy which was Genuine laughs that i couldn't get off my face . I completely forgot about Gollum until later in the film he made a very short appearance of playing a game of riddles with the main hobbit character , this scene had everyone laughing their butts off in the theatre because it was a really really funny scene . Andy serkis the actor of gollum voice and body did a great job when he was only in the film for such a short mo

    Thought the movie was great. It did a great job on tying into the LOTR trilogy. Flow was good, lots of action, good battle scenes, etc.
