Wait a second... no Hobbit?
« on: January 04, 2013, 08:08:47 AM »
I am going to see it for a second time tonight.  This time in HFR.  It was definitely a long movie, but I went in with that expectation... and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My boyfriend just about fell asleep through the first half hour of it before things started dying. I enjoyed it. Let us know if HFR makes a difference at all.

I saw it too. Pretty good - but similarly to Jen's BF (wait, wait, wait, since when do you have a bf!? and we don't know about him?! :) ) like I was saying, the first part was sloooooow and it did take a while to really get going. I have to say that I enjoyed LOTR more.

I think I should have seen it at an iMax though.

Both me and someone I was with had the exact same experience - kinda dozed off in the first hour.  Picked up afte that...Really just dragged on too long...I think I saw HFR...was okay...

I thought the movie was ok, but it really bugs me that it's going to be three three-hour movies. The Hobbit was 45 minutes worth of movie, MAX! Way too slow.

I watched LOTR last night with some friends (it was the first time for my wife). It's soooo much better...

I saw The Two Towers on TV the other night and holyshitbatman is that soooooo much better than the Hobbit.
