A real treat. The pans were awesome. No jittering at all, very smooth. If anyone doesn't like this, then they are simply foolish, who likes seeing a jittery background as the camera pans? This is the future. I quickly acclimated to it and enjoyed it to the max.

The 3D was nice. Nothing done to reach out and grab you except for a few fight scenes where you find yourself ducking arrows! Very nice. I really don't care a lot for 3D. If it is done well, you don't notice it. It seems a lot of extra work and technology for just a few payoffs, like the arrows.

Being a fan of Tolkien, I really liked the story. And I like how it was presented in a more leisurely manner. Obviously padding a bit to stretch out a single book into three epic 2+ hour movies. I sort of miss this; nowadays we expect everything to race across the screen at breakneck pace. There was a lot of stuff added that wasn't in the original book, "The Hobbit," but is found in "The Silmarilion." I must admit, I tried, and failed, to read "Sil," so I know little of it but that it covered a lot of "history" of Middle Earth. It is my understanding that a lot of these extra characters and incidents happening are pulled from this other work.

I'm not sure what Grits was thinking, but it was painfully clear what the troop was after and they were no where near finishing the journey.

Oh, the popcorn was out of this world!

We'll have to agree to disagree about global warming until the next global cooling scare comes along

Which of the six(!) versions did you see?... - Steve O 17:25:36 12/14/12 (3)

1D, obviously . . . the flat one. * - mr grits 21:07:24 12/14/12 (2)

Since "1D" produces no viewable image, I'll assume you didn't actually see the movie (nt) - Steve O 08:29:33 12/15/12 (1)

No, I saw the one that left me flat. * - mr grits 12:25:53 12/15/12 (0)
