I wonder if they started to spread some Schumann waves making people want to see Hobbits. I feel so much like watching that film, if I wasn´t right in the middle of the tv version of Das Boot and didn´t have to work in between I´d have me a good old triple feature ;) .
If all goes well I'll be going to a LOTR marathon (with the extended editions) at my local theater next Sunday, I'm still not sure how I'm going to survive those 14h...
I'm curious to watch The Hobbit but I have to confess that I've been having a bad feeling towards it, I hope I'm wrong.
Dear God... It's tough for me to sit through the Extended Editions in my own bedroom, where I can press the pause button to make a bathroom trip. Having to sit in a theater, with probably only 5 minutes of trailer (obviously for The Hobbit) between them is something I could never do.
In a weeks time I'll tell you how difficult it was :D I've never tried to watch the extended editions in one day, let's see how it goes.
I've done it, but, like I said, in my bedroom, with a pause button.

It's a real shame this isn't getting the same acclaim as the last trilogy, so far. I wonder if reviews will pick up. If not, the other films better be an improvement. If that is not even the case, maybe two films was better than three...
Two films is already a stretch, I was a bit disappointed when it was announced there would be 3. I'm keeping my mind open but there are more than a few things bothering me with these films, and this is coming from a fan.
Speaking of sequels, here's the first official photo from 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again:'

I think a lot of people are reacting badly to the frame rate, the 3D, the fact that the source material is more light hearted.
I agree, i think it cheapens the franchise. Thats why i hope Bond NEVER goes down that route! [-(
2012: Skyfall vs. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
It seems like Bond will win easily this time in term of critical acclaim.
We shall see, as the movie has yet to go on general release.
Did they? All I read so far was one critic drawing similarities of some kind between the characters of Radagast and Jar Jar Binks. That´s not exactly putting the whole film next to TPM.
I think people who where expecting another LOTR film will be disppointed naturally when the source material is different and perhaps also the concept fot this whole film.
On the other hand, Jackson also did that abominal King Kong film, which shows he´s also able to produce crap.
There are people out there who can't look past internet critics and judge a film on their own. Plus, I'd accept a review from RT than Ain't It Cool News. Harry Knowles is a damn idiot.
Don't forget The Lovely Bones, during which I swear I was smoking shrooms without actually having any.
The journalist who wrote that isn't even the main reviewer for the publication and his Jar Jar comments were removed from his review after a few days after other (more respected) journalists who had seen the film said that 'Radagast is Jar Jar' was utter rubbish. I think it's safe to say he isn't at all jar Jar esque.
JRR Tolkien intended to write a revised edition of the Hobbit after he expanded on the mythology of the original story in creating LOTR. Unfortunately that project was never completed.
His personal notes and the appendices of the LOTR books are the source of most of the added content. So Jackson is essentially completing Tolkien's work and tying LOTR and the Hobbit together with additional content, as Tolkien intended to do.
An Unexpected Journey may as well be The Phantom Menace and God help us all if the next two movies aren't better than this one.

It really is sad, though, to see so many mediocre reviews on something that people have been anticipating to such a degree.
That's only one review. Plus, the guy is more pouty over the technology of the film than the actual story or its integral parts anyhow.
What's the common rating? Not good?
