If you even remotely like fantasy, watch it !

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2012)

I don't know what critics have seen but what I saw was an excellent movie, That I enjoyed very much. Was it really long ? yes. Was it boring ? NO, not at all! Oh boy, it feels good to be back in the middle earth! The movie is excellently crafted, I liked the detailed costumes and thought that pacing was good. At places the movie did feel less serious, but it's not LOTR.
Although 3D is still strenuous on the eyes , I felt like High frame rate (HFR) actually helped. I must agree it looked a little awkward at the beginning but few minutes into the movie and I really appreciated the quality of the picture and the smooth movement. It is very new and we are not used to it, so I can understand people that didn't like it however us humans never take change very kindly do we ? So don't be disheartened by the critics this is one of those movies that people and critics have to agree to disagree (I found myself in this situation very often). My suggestion is, if you like fantasy, Watch it, if you have an open mind, watch it! However, if you don't like fantasy then yes it will be too long and it will disappoint you, it is a fantasy movie after all !
My honest mark is actually a 9, but just to spite critics I gave it a 10 =))
