vanity - Post your reviews of "The Hobbit"

Posted on 12/14/2013 6:35:37 PM PST by Perdogg

I saw it last night in HFR 3D. Tickets were $16.75 per adult. The film quality reminded me of something in the late 60s/early 70s in 625-line PAL format, but better of course. I had never seen a HFR film before. Soundtrack was wonderful.

The story was pretty universal; a mixture of themes found in Star Wars, John Carter, Thor, and Game of Thrones. There were some scenes that did make me jump. The barrel scene could have been cutdown a bit. I thought the movie had a conservative theme with the Government of Lake-town mirroring that of the Obama Administration.

I did not recognize Evangeline Lilly, although she is pretty, but I think elf ears make pretty women look hotter. The scenery was beautiful.

I think the movie was worth the admission. Good theatre experience.

Perhaps a spoiler alert would be appropriate. Before they are posted?

It turns out the Death Star is both fully armed and operational.

And that Rosebud was, in fact, a sled.

Nice review, although my impression is that you haven’t seen the first part? Or read the book? Not being critical, but most of us would probably have related our remarks to how acurately the movie portrayed the book. I am anxious to see it!

And if you’re a reader at all, you’ll love the book ;-)

Enjoyed it, but thought it wasn’t as good as the first. The pacing was a bit off, and parts were too repetitive. Still worth seeing.

I saw a preview in 3D on IMAX. It looked really good. I need to watch the first Hobbit movie first. That seems to have gotten mixed reviews

I saw it at movie tavern, first time there, was cool eating dinner in the theatre. I thought it was much better than the first; it didn’t drag as much and the orc back story was less annoying. Tauriel was smokin’ hot heh.

Its worth seeing at the theater in my opinion. If you’re a purist you might be disappointed.

The movie was a bit too long. I’m afraid Jackson is coming down with George Lucas disease (he just doesn’t know when to stop).

Having said that, I though the movie was good. Generally good acting from everyone. Neat mixture of the original Hobbit storyline with other ideas to tie it in more with The Lord of the Rings. Smaug was excellent not only as cgi but the voice and evil intelligence of him, etc.

Saw it in 3D. Several times it honestly looked like something was flying right off the screen at me. Very interesting. Wanted to throw out about forty teenagers who talked throughout the movie, left their seats repeatedly and played with their cell phones.

Re: I did not recognize Evangeline Lilly, although she is pretty, but I think elf ears make pretty women look hotter.

Now, dogg, let me get this straight-- You think... elf ears makes me prettier?

Prettier than... my new short hairstyle?

Prettier than... me in "Lost" in only my wet bra and panties?

Prettier than... than me in my sexy chair?

Prettier than... than me all covered in sand?

Prettier than... than me washing off all the sand in the waterfall?

So, tell me the truth or I'll... cut your lying tongue out!

Gadzooks, dogg! Vange looks her best... when I read her... the morning after sports page.
