Like the Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit I think will really just be a 9 hour long single epic film that had to be split to be shown in theaters. The Lord of the Rings doesn't follow the typical trilogy arc, but it very much follows the formula of a single film/story. First act would be Fellowship of the Ring and the end of the first act is the Breaking of the Fellowship. The second act is the Two Towers and continues into Return of the King, ending at the Battle of Pelennor Fields and Cirith Ungol simultaneously. The third act focuses on making sure Frodo's journey is a success and the aftermath of its destruction.

I'll reserve my full thoughts on the Hobbit for another two years until I see it as a completed work. Alot of reviewers hated Fellowship at first, but once Return of the King was released, they changed their tune entirely once they saw it as a completed work.

I will freely admit that I just "dont get" this genre

I dont get the RPG's, the movies, the novels, LARPing, etc.

I do not understand the appeal.

I don't hate on it, but I just don't get it

I remember when the Fellowship came out and people said it was to slow. Years later it's everyone favorite movie from the trilogy. The reviews I'm reading they love it. LOTR didn't attract the casual viewer and look how good it did. This will most likely be the same.

All the bad reviews are saying it that the 48FPS is it takes time to get use to. Here's an idea don't watch it in 48FPS. I wanted a review of the film not the 48FPS.
