It feels to me like Peter Jackson is mercilessly trying to milk his LOTR franchise for all that it's worth. Much of what's in this movie alone actually comes from the appendixes in the LOTR books. The Hobbit was a very straightforward children's tale. Yes. The Hobbit was a children's book and was planned as a one-off to boot. It does not and will not have an epic scale like LOTR did. Peter Jackson seems to be trying to make it epic but he only made it overly long.

That’s the feeling I have few weeks before the movie hit the local cinemas and that’s also the reason why I have my reservation on this movie. I have yet to watch it and honestly, I’m not excited about it.

With all the video logs and production videos being released, I felt like PJ is trying really hard to recapture and reproduce that same essence emitted from LOTR trilogy.

That’s me.

I'm aware of the LOTR production videos e.g. actors and actresses fooling around (Viggo and Bernand's NG was the best i.e. “They’ll take you into a dark room, my lord. They’ll scan your very skull, so that they can make toys for children to play stupid games!”), cuts and screen shots, NGs, make-up process, and etc but if I recall it right, those videos were released after the movie was released and not before or perhaps I was not crazy enough to hunt down these videos if it was released before movie did; thus, rendering it enjoyable.

Like I said, that’s me.

However, I'm interested in the new 48fps 3D format though. Perhaps those who have watched it in this format could relay your experience, in comparison with the iMAX 3D format as well as the differences between the iMAX in One Utama and that of Sunway Pyramid.
