Hi Kanji ... I've known you were not a fan of 3D for some time now, so I am not surprised that you enjoyed the 2D version more. If I am reading between the lines of what you said regarding the HFR improving the 3D viewing some, that you are a fan of & liked the 48fps...?

Regarding different experiences with different experiences at different theatres, I have also noticed that this in the past, and there can be a big difference between different theatres, and sometimes even watching it a week later at the same theatre can sometimes be quite different (usually not as clear & crisp as opening night).

I thought the white Azog was a man with prosthetic makeup and did not realize it was digital until reading your review. I've only seen the film once in HFR 3D, and found it so realistic looking & the CGI so good, that I couldn't tell what was digital or not most of the time! ...Do you know if Azog was a Del Toro creation? Looks kinda like a character he would dream up...

Anyway, I agree that the acting was top notch ... I was on team Freeman from day 1 several years ago (not the James McAvoy team), and so I'm really glad that Freeman has validated my strong position that he would make the perfect young Bilbo. When they went from older to younger Bilbo sitting on the bench smoking, it just felt like it was the same person. I was surprised at how good Freeman was...flawless and better than I thought, even with my high expectations. All of the acting was great. Ian and Andy stepped up their game and the dwarves were all great too. I didn't realize they were just acting until the credits started to roll and I came back to reality ;)

Really can't wait to see the film again (in any format)! Really like what PJ and James Cameron are doing for the film industry with the higher frame rates. Cameron is working with 60fps...do you know if PJ is doing all 3 Hobbit films in 48fps or has there been any talk of 60fps?
