Well I was one the first people to see The Hobbit and I have to say I
was underwhelmed by it. There were some really good scenes with the
dragon but I felt it was moving slowly, of course we all know The Hobbit
could've been done in one three hour movie.
There was
no real story arc for the second movie, I guess after Lord of the Rings
one would expect to have a complete story arc for each of The Hobbit
movies. Making movies with 3D viewing in mind also complicates the story
- scenes you know were only placed in the movie for the 3D effect with
little relevance to plot - although this is a criticism of all movies
that have a 3D equivalent.
Hopefully the third
instalment won't suffer from further degradation (remember the Godfather
3 - it was just the wrong feel for the franchise).
In
the end you know you are going to see it because of the dragon and
because it is The Hobbit - the scenic views are inspiring but I did not
feel the 3D version was worth it, I am tempted to go to IMAX to see how
it fairs there.
