Had enough reality for the week, went to see The Hobbit in IMax 3D.
If you liked the Lord Of The Rings, you'll like this one, but it's not at the same level as Lord Of The Rings. It's also clearly going to be Part 1 of a series, which I didn't know about. My fault for not checking, but was left feeling a tad unsatisfied at the end not knowing this is going to be a series. The Hobbit is all about taking on that dragon, and they don't get to the damn dragon, but they do fight just about everything else.
CGI is great, but over used vs Lord Of The Rings which augmented the movie greatly to be sure, but was second to the acting and human back story. Hobbit depends too much on over the top CGI I thought, the action/fighting is a tad cartoonish compared to Lord Of the Rings (but The Hobbit was intended for a younger audience as a book and I suspect they decided to follow that with the movie?) but has its moments and a few battle scenes are visually epic.
Gets a B+ from me. Anyone else see it yet?
