I tried "high frame rate" the last time around, and I feel it very much detracted from the movie going experience.I agree. It didn't look smoother, it looked sped-up. Very distracting.

I'll have to post the picture.
Pizza buffet for 7 $50.00.
7 matinee movie tickets $60.00.
The memmories?
Worth more than all of Earth's riches!

“Bilbo Baggins and the Temple of Doom” just didn’t cut it for me.

The Hobbit is not a long book. There is no reason in the world why a movie picture adaptation should exceed 120 minutes. Total. There is an excellent reason to make The Hobbit into three movies: it allows those of us who love Middle Earth to spend as much time there as possible. I'm just unhappy that when the entire cycle is finished, we will have in total less than 18 hours in those magnificent realms.

A Smaug is a disgusting, stinking, vile beast from Kenya which infests white houses.

On the flip side, movies can be like shopping - I like to do a fast in-and-out foray...
