I don't see what the tolerance for borebom has to do with intellectual abilities, they are children, not astronauts trying for a spot to go to Mars. :D
[QUOTE=bobo;196700]And a sled drawn by giant bunny's? I don't remember that part[/QUOTE]
I thought you were joking... and then I saw the trailer. :D
Hookay... I know already that I'll go see it with my girlfriend. So it's too late now. :D Unless this scene ends up on the cutting room floor as they say. There is no escape from the bunnies. Aaaarrgh, not the bees, NOT THE BEEES!!!
no real spoilers, but just in case.
Spoiler:
I think they could have left about 45 minutes of footage on the cutting room floor, and been better off for it. I get what Jackson was trying to do, but it seriously did not flow well IMHO.

I really liked it. It wasn't up to the same standard as LOTR, but given the source material I always figured that was going to be a given.
I loved seeing more of Middle Earth, and I have to say that what Jackson et al have done with it is pretty damn close to the way that I had imagined it.
I saw the high frame rate version, and actually I really liked it. It took a little getting used to; for the first 20 minutes or so it was really noticeable that it was a higher frame rate, but after that I actually found it to be quite natural to watch. In fact, by the end of the movie I didn't even notice that it was 48fps. The 3D was also really well done I thought, the stereoscopic approach felt much better than any other 3D I've seen. I'm still not convinced that it's the game changed that the studios want it to be, but if every film was done like that I'd be a bit more convinced. My only complaint was that I came away with a bit of a headache, but I usually get that from a 3D movie so it's not something I was that concerned about, although possibly 48fps did make it a little worse. I find all 3D movies too dim once I've put on the glasses however, so I'm having to look harder at the screen, which may be the cause.
Now how the hell am I supposed to wait till next year for part 2?!?
If I am going to go see the Hobbit (not necessarily this weekend), then it's going to be in 2D.
There are some blockbusters I didn't go to see because they were locally only shown in 3D. As far as I can tell, 3D doesn't bring anything to the table other than giving a reason to charge you more for a ticket. I didn't get a headache from Avatar and I got used to the view rather quickly, but it's still not winning me over, especially if others get headaches or motion sickness from watching 3D.
The way I got past the wait of getting to see the 2nd and 3rd part of LotR was, I purposely didn't see any of them before all had come out. I doubt I will be able to do it this time though.

In term of narrative the 3D didn't add anything, but visually it was actually very impressive

(ok only for about .5 seconds, but it's still SMAUG!)
The city we see doesn't look like Laketown, so I'm guessing that's a flashback to when Smaug trashed Dale?
