On my way to see it now. Don't feel that hyped up about it at all. Only going to one showing ffs!
beastmaster wrote:Sweet, I'm going to an 8:30 showing!
There's a certain point where the film turns (at 8.40pm by my watch. Seriously, I looked!).
beastmaster wrote:Great, it's like Deathly Hallows part 1 again
Moving onto the film, the idea of turning what was originally a two part into a three part film series is a colossal mistake. The first 80 mins is a slow, boring, lumbering mess. They've reeeallly stretched it out. This is almost the running times of some films. A literal pain in the ass!
There is only one thing we say to Death: 'Maybe Tomorrow'
beastmaster wrote:Technically, you could say this about Fellowship, where the first half of the film is them arsing about in Hobbiton and having a party, before eventually managing to get a shake on and race to Rivendell. Which pretty much mirrors The Hobbit actually!
To sum up, skip the first hour

So in real terms, adjusting for beastmaster enthusiasm levels, that 7 is more like a 5.5.

LB, you really are a massive geek.

If he does a shorter directors cut, I think that would be superb. The 'Non Studio Interference Cut'.

Isn't the Alien Directors cut shorter than the theatrical cut? I might be wrong but I'm sure I heard it somewhere.

I'm not sure it's entirely the studio's fault that the book is being split into three.
I get the impression it's more 'The Hobbit-as-a-useful-hook-whilst-we-tell-the-story-of-Middle-Earth-in-its-entirety-during-that-period-right-down-to-Gandalf's-shoe-collection-and-wardrobe-thoughts.'
