Oh yeah, went and watch it yesterday, the second day of screening. Before that I wasn't all that excited about the movie, but I figure I would still give it a try, coming from the director of LOTR and all. The length of the movie is more than 2 and a half hour, which is pretty long for the current standard.

I can't say that The Hobbit is to my exact liking, but taking a neutral side, I'd say it is pretty awesome, the scenes and the soundtracks. Its not exactly exciting, and it is about adventure, and how many adventure-genre movie do we have nowadays (other than comedy or parody)? If one takes some times to appreciate the making, feel the scenery, the soundtrack, and last but not all, the emotion of Bilbo Baggins, this is a great movie. Try to get yourself immerse, and feel the wonder that is the world of

Peter Jackson sure is great in building suspense. Starts off slow, introducing the character, getting you (or to me) a little bit bored, thinking when is the exciting adventure begins, and then yeah, the adventure begins, followed by the exciting smash this smash that. So, just a friendly warning, do not go in the theater thinking of Iron Man or Thor!

Also, I watched The Hobbit in HFR 3D! What is HFR? High Frame Rate! There sure is a big difference, but maybe I need to watch the show again in a normal frame rate to compare about the effect. Some says that HFR makes a movie not so much a movie anymore, and yes, I do feel that the movie gives the exact vibe like you are looking right out a rectangular windows with Bilbo Baggins and Gollum showcasing off.

Well, I guess that's all I have to say for now. Been a long time since I actually write a review, seems that my English is getting pretty dull, as well as my ability to narrate what I thought, if I ever have one. Ohh well.
