Reviews seemed balanced [In reply to] Can't Post

I've read about 15 reviews now, and overall they seem to skew positive. There's been a couple negative ones, but there's been a few glowingly positive ones as well. And most of the out-and-out negativity seems aimed towards HFR, which is understandable (and why press screenings should have stuck with the traditional 24 fps!). A lot of complaints about the slow first act and bad cgi. Everything else is coming off pretty well, especially Bilbo, Gandalf, Thorin, Gollum, Howard Shore and NZ/Middle-Earth itself.

Me, i'm fine if AUJ is the worst of the 6 films-- as long as it's fun and has plenty of Tolkien mythology. The things that concern me-- bad, overdone comedy (Radagast-- not a McCoy fan), too much cgi (goblins that don't seem "real" or "there"), characters not inhabiting a realistic physical world/cartoon physics-- definitely seem to be a problem, but aren't deal breakers if the overall film is still good. It may not be LOTR, but it will be a hit, and we have 2 more coming no matter what.
