I saw the film yesterday (Monday).
Loved the 3D - hated the 48fps - too long. At the end I thought, "There's another FIVE friggin hours of this?"

So should we watch it in 48fps to experience it for ourselves? Do you think you could warm to it or is it a definite no go?
Oh nooooo!
So, you mean to say, even apart from the 48fps, that it's a clunker?
But did he like the original LOTR?
Totally disagree with directorik, I thought that the 48fps was the saving grace of the 3D. Normally I don't like 3D because of the ghosting and the difficulty I have on focusing things, but with 48fps it was crisp and beautiful and, after about 20 minutes, I stopped really noticing the frame rate- and for a filmmaker to say that, that's something.
It is too long by about 30-40 minutes, but I still had a great time.

So can you set me straight about The Hobbit Blu-ray? It's not offered in the 48 fps version? Or is there some reason we can't watch 48 fps on our regular TVs or with our regular players for some reason, or something? If that's not the case and we can, are they planning on releasing the 48 fps version, anyone know? Is it only with the 3D version? What gives?
Doing some digging, it appears that the 48fps version is not available for the home game. The reason appears to be that it is not supported by the Blu-ray standard spec. So I guess (if it catches on) on whatever format comes next, it's a possibility. Most TVs these days could support it (video games often run at higher framerates), the issue is with the players. Not that they'll be shy about repackaging the films (extended version comes out this fall!)
Very nice! I'm unbelievably excited! Other than the obvious stuff, nice to see Lee Pace getting trailer-narration duties! Wasn't expecting that much dragon in the trailer, but that supports my theory as to where the next movie break will be (post-Smaug, pre-5 armies). If I'm right, there will be at least a little more resolution (though not actual conclusion).
But for my tastes, none of it is long enough!

Yep, I know that feel. The Hobbit had like what, 20 acts? And all leading to what?
