I should probably give them a re-watch eventually (maybe after I actually finish reading the books).T.

But if you like what Jackson has done with LOTR, I think you'll get a kick out of this.The Nilboghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03902509798047158212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5543195171933661664.post-53593196088926449252012-12-18T00:30:48.129-05:002012-12-18T00:30:48.129-05:0048fps is the major complaint I heard against the f...48fps is the major complaint I heard against the film, too (and look- you're popular now! You've got the spammers to prove it!).<br /><br />For me, I'm mainly going to see it for Sylvester McCoy (big Doctor Who fan, and he's probably my fourth favorite Doctor) and I'm hoping to enjoy it, but I'm not expecting to like it that much- part of the joy of Hobbit is its brevity and smallness in scale, so taking that away for a grander 3-movie 'epic trilogy' in the vein of LOTR seems to be...missing the point a bit. But they might be able to make it work, who knows (I have heard the pacing is reaaaaaly slow though, so I guess I'll see).<br /><br />Plus I already got everything I needed from the Rankin-Bass special, which is just so great in its own right. Their work in general is just really lovely, and a treasure for me even when it isn't really that good.T. Hartwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13602995118108914316noreply@blogger.com
