Anyone seen this yet? I watched it last night and have to say it really was excellent. Never read the book but the movie was good, it really was an unexpected journey :sohappy:

The 48 fps really makes a difference too. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but once you do it looks extremely smooth and realistic. Loved it.

Also, I've been to some of the locations they used for filming. Cool stuff.

Went to the 12.12.12.12.12 showing ( lol ) and i loved the movie. the only point i didn't like was sometimes they added a little bit to much humor

The school let us watch it next wednesday for free, considering taking my father to it this weekend though, he can barely keep his hands from downloading a crappy handycam version of it from tpb lol.

Probably gonna go watch this once it arrives here. But why don't they make movies with 60 fps, then it would feel like a game.

This is the first movie I will watch that I have read the book for. I started reading it not too long ago because I figured I had three years to finish it.

How many FPS do movies usually have?

omier · **Joined:** Aug 2006 **Posts:** 5985 **Location:** ...

24 mostly.

Had no idea too, did some research, it's half that number, 24 fps, so this movie has double fps, and probably all future movies will be like that.

Quote:

The key thing to understand is that this process requires both shooting and projecting at 48 fps [i.e. frames per second], rather than the usual 24 fps (films have been shot at 24 frames per second since the late 1920′s). So the result looks like normal speed, but the image has hugely enhanced clarity and smoothness. Looking at 24 frames every second may seem ok — and we’ve all seen thousands of films like this over the last 90 years — but there is often quite a lot of blur in each frame, during fast movements, and if the camera is moving around quickly, the image can judder or “strobe.”

i hated the lord of the rings and i know im going to hate this.

but i dislike them making a 300 page book into 3 movies... just give your cash to them right now.

Well, yeah they could make a one movie from it, but I have generally been happy with Peter Jackson's team when it comes into adding and changing plot stuff. I'm don't usually watch movies because of the actors in it, but Martin Freeman, yeeeeaa!

Why do you hate them so much?

I watched it yesterday evening, and I really liked it!

I'll have to agree that they tried to fit in a tad too much humor at times. But it was still a really great film. And yes, the 48 fps makes a HUGE difference. I've never seen a movie looking so realistic (watched in 3D also)

And by the wsay! This is my post number 4.000!!! Hurray for SRF :love:

I liked it alot, HFR took some getting used to but when I did it was awesome.

I liked it but definitely not LOTR. This one is more comical with a joke at every turn (which I found a bit annoying). Unlike the battles in LOTR, this one is cartoon-ish.

i found the first lotr boring and slow, nothing really interesting happened and the main thing that pissed me off was the ending.

"AND OUR JOURNEY BEGINS!".... end of the movie. yeah thanks for that, i watched 3 hours of slow paced bullshit for such a shitty ending.

I hate hfr. I have a 120 mhz refresh rate on my tv and I have to disable it because it makes it look like looking through a glass window at the movie. I mean it's cool yea, but it takes away the cinematic feel to it.

what a shitty movie. you can't make a prequel to the best trilogy ever made. you keep expecting the same thing as the LOTR, but ofcourse there is no movie as good as the LOTR.

Just came back from watching it, (didnt know it was 3 hours long >.<)
havent seen any of the LOTR movies, so i dont really know the plot

But I felt like it used too many obvious super-hit movie plot lines/cliches, and the humor was kinda weird sometimes

Definitely makes me want to watch the main LOTR series though
Also not sure if i watched it in 48 fps, but i watched it in 3D so o_O
