We're in Cardiff!
It's Christmas!
And thus begins Peter Jacksons Hobbit trilogy..
Firstly, I'd almost forgot about this movie. It wasn't until the last few weeks and all the hype that I remembered how excited I was about it (if that makes sense?!)
There was a lot of talk about the 48 frames per second technology this was filmed in too. So I decided to check out the latest format...
What can I say about this one. Well to start with I had to go and tell an usher to turn the lights off (!?). After that was sorted I settled down in my usual centre seat and took it in.
Initially the '48 Frames effect' was too good. Some of the scenery looked like models and it all looked a bit fake!
Once the story kicked in though it became less bothersome (although the juries still out on some of the CGI!).
I haven't read the book for 30 years or so but there were certain elements that seemed familiar (and I don't mean LOTR familiar..) And this took me back..
It's worth a second viewing for the 'Goblin Lair' escape alone! Perhaps next time in 24 frames and 2D..
A definite **** movie.. In fact I'm looking forward to seeing it again..
