300 part 2 (w/e the frak they're callin that)
Man of Steel , Jack the Giant Slayer ,The seventh Son . .. etc etc 3D 3D 3D 3D. (Not endorsing this , just sayin its here to stay)

I saw it in 2D and will admit that I regret not seeing it in 3D. The last hour of the film has to look out of control in 3D. All I kept thinking was, why didn't I see this in 3D?

I just found out that one of the theaters near me added 3D and 48 FPS so I probably will go see it again this week. They must have just been added to the list because like two weeks ago there wasn't any theaters in the Raleigh area that there going to show the movie in 48 FPS. The closest one was going to be an hour and a half away.

Overall I thought the last hour and a half was excellent, but the first hour dragged. Hopefully subsequent movies are a little crisper.

Question for anybody that has seen The Hobbit. How long was the whole movie experience? What I mean is after all the previews and the film how much time did it take. I want to go tomorrow and see a 11:45 showing of it but I have to be back at home by 3:05 to pick up my son from school. I would say I would need at least 25 minutes of drive time between the movie ending and picking up my son.

Saw Hobbit in HFR 3D. Gave me a headache, and I felt like everyone was moving in fast forward for awhile. Looked fantastic, but headache and fast forward effect both made me wonder if it was worth it.

The movie was completely absurd. I used to complain about films like "Wanted" because they're essentially completely unfathomable, but this movie was just unbelievable nonsense after unbelievable nonsense for 3 hours straight. By the end I didn't care at all if anyone lived or died - the exact opposite of "Fellowship of the Ring" which had some real drama towards the end that made the whole thing feel REAL. This had a suggestion of drama that didn't deliver at all. I guess in that way I was really disappointed.

Note that I don't usually have any issues with 3D movies or IMAX 3D. Very happy that the HFR 3D didn't have an extra surcharge like IMAX does!

I'd be close. It was just shy of 3 hours with the previews (like 2 hours and 50 minutes).

Finally saw the Expendables and man was it as violent as all of their respective movies put together. Obviously the story was crap, because if it was better this could've been two hours long rather than the 90 minutes. I guess I'm satisfied with it as along it's a gore fest where every star had a chance to shine.

really enojoyed TED this weekend. really did not enjoy BATMAN last weekend. worst batman by far (of the recent trilogy)

Watched Ted the other day too. It was ok, but both my girlfriend and I were expecting it to be funnier than it was.

Finally saw The Dark Knight Rises this weekend. Sean Connery is looking good for his age.

Am I the only one that didn't really care for Batman Begins? My ranking of the Nolan trillogy:

1. TDK
2. TDKR
3. BB

21 Jump Street. WAY better than I thought it would be... which isn't saying much but still. Probably near the top of the "cheesy semi-serious TV show that was actually cool for its time remade into a not-so-serious movie" list.

The Hobbit 3D 48FPS

Saw it yesterday, thought it was good but nothing overly amazing. It really made me think how good the LOTR trilogy is actually. I know its only the first film so theres alot of setting up so I hope the next two are better.

Regarding 48FPS the first five minutes were a little weird, slight character movements looked off (like they were sped up obviously). But I got used to it quickly. My biggest complaint is just how 48FPS made everything look fake, the sets, CGI etc just looked like a movie, which obviously isn't good and everything was too bright.

As I work in a cinema I might pop into the 2D screening if I can and see how that compares.

yea for me i think its:

1.BB
2.TDK
3.TDKR

(BB and TDK were close and both really good imo, TDKR was bad. spiderman bad imo)

The Hobbit - loved it
I always thought the LOTR trilogy was overrated but enjoyed The Hobbit.

Hobbit 2D. I thought the movie was good, just for me there was too much noticeable CG in it. It kinda took away from the realness of the movies.

The Princess Bride- I never seen this movie before oddly. It's really good, and it's very witty and fun. I loved it. I was expecting a meh chick flick by the title but rest assured, I came out loving it. Plus it has Andre The Giant.

That stinks, so is there a consensus on the 2D Hobbit vs the 3D 48fps yet?
I'm certainly only going to get to see it once in the theater so I'd appreciate the feedback.

I saw it in 3D and thought the CGI was amazing.

Brave.

Didn't care for it at all. Definitely my least favorite Pixar movie (have seen all of them but the Cars movies I think).

Going to watch hobbit tonight. Sounds like I should watch the 3d version but my wife gets sick sometimes watching that shit so I'll probably watch the regular one.

Hunger on netflix. its OK. Fast forwarded it a couple times. Basically survival in a well.

Saw a couple movies on the plane.

Bully- Good and somewhat infuriating (not the movie but the situation)

Breakfast at Tiffany's- I understand this is a classic. Now answer me this. Holly is meant to be unlikable right? I mean there are so many situations where I wonder why the main man even cares to stick around. The main guy has that decorator/agent lady why? Is there something going on between them other than business? Loved the cat. I enjoyed the majority of the movie after what seemed like a slow and unfunny start (asian neighbor is terrible).

The Hobbit - I went in with really low expectations. I love the source material and was pissed that they were splitting the book into three movies. I was really surprised how lovingly Jackson handled this movie and I'm now really excited to see the second one.
