![]() ![]() Also, the voice of the Necromancer was quite good (it was Benedict Cumberbatch, if you were not aware). ![]() ![]() I wasn’t really expecting the Necromancer to be the way he was on screen, but the eventual transition into the Great Eye was fantastic. While it doesn’t appear directly in the book, I liked how we got some screen time of what Gandalf was up to when he parted from the group before they entered the Mirkwood forest. I liked how Beorn mentioned how he was the last of his kind-I got a Doctor vibe from him, although Beorn is much more grumpy and standoffish. I did realize that this part was different from the book, however overall I think that it played out well. I loved how they handled Beorn, in particular the part where he changes back into a man. Now, onto the content of the movie itself. This is what the 48fps was supposed to achieve, and it did do its job, although it took me a second to adjust. Also on the technical side, I do think that I saw this film in the 48 frames per second rather than the regular 24 that most movies are in-the reason I say this is because I was getting a different visual experience that is a little hard to describe other than how it seemed to me to be more lifelike/fluid than normal. Personally, I would have been irritated if this story was only one film, and I trust Peter Jackson enough from the Lord of the Rings films that he knows what he is doing. Though it wasn’t completely faithful to the book, I think that the length of this film and the fact that this story is split into 3 parts really allows for detail that would have otherwise been left out. I am pretty sure that it was filmed with special 3D-capable cameras-the scenic shots certainly felt that way! I also did not mind the length of the film, although I have heard that some have felt that it was a little long for their tastes. As well, I think that the 3D in this film was really well done and didn’t have a “cheap” feel to it. Note that there are some things that would be considered spoilers, if you haven’t seen it and would really mind about that sort of thing.įirst I have to say that the visuals and the general scenery of the film was absolutely gorgeous and immediately made me want to visit New Zealand and just go for a hike and take hundreds of pictures. I figured that I would write a review while everything is fresh in my mind. I went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug today (in 3D too), and it was really good. ![]()
