part 3 is gonna be a massive movie so much going on its mind blowing how much there going to cram in there. what im curious to know is why they changed smaug,s death from film 2 and moved it to film 3.
I was talking about Film 3. Its like Pete is using the formula for the LotR movies. He will give us an awesome finale. I wanna see how Film 3 connects with the LotR films.

The 48 FPS 3D movie was shipped to some theaters via a standard SATA hard drive. It was shipped with a security code that prevented the content from being viewed or copied until the code was released by the distributor about 24 hours in advance of the initial release time of the movie. The 48 fps 3D version of the movie occupied 639 GB of data on the SATA Hard drive. The theater in question could have downloaded the entire movie via a secure satellite link, but the download would have taken more than a full 24 hours. Given that 96 frames per second are required for the 3D picture (48 fps for each eye), the data size for each frame for each eye is about .66 mb (mega bytes).

The consensus seems to be that the film brings back a lot of the old magic at a much brisker pace than An Unexpected Journey, and boasts some stunning action sequences (the Barrel ride) and a stupendous dragon, but delivers all this at the expense of emotion and pathos. Overall an improvement from the first film though. And fans of the book will be outraged at the deviations the story makes, especially near the end when the source material is near-unrecognizable.
Without a book you wouldn't have a movie, so 'fuck the book' is complete bs.
Most certainly. I found the book entertaining and engaging, which cannot be said of the first movie adaptation. I hope the second movie feels less like getting through game levels and more like a dangerous journey with some actual gravitas.
so glad I never read the book now I have nothing to compare it to ill be blissfully unaware of what is cannon and what is not. #ignoranceisbliss
I couldn't care less about deviations from the book, but I'm curious about how Jackson and co have approached it, especially since they are stretching out the story in three movies and adding other elements. The main reason I'm going to watch Desolation of Smaug is because I'm interested in the adaptation process. An Unexpected Journey, despite being lacklustre as a movie, did have some nice additions that were thematically fitting with the story and Tolkien's universe.
Well, The Hobbit had the same problems as the LOTR movies, mediocre CGI, only decent acting except by some exceptions, characters not that developed and a slow pace.
I absolutely LOVED The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Ive read the first half of the book never had the chance to read more... So Im hoping this goes in the direction Im expecting. I dont want to hate its sequel, I doubt I will... But we will see.
I found the HFR 3D to be very immersive and it just made everything feel more real. I never understood what the complaints about it were.
They were about purists, ie traditionalists and luddites, who don't want to embrace technology. We are so used to 24fps that seeing 48fps is jarring. Personally, I'd have enjoyed 60fps.
