Except in the genre that gets overlooked by the Academy for acting and supporting acting awards.

Ebert gave The Fellowship of the Ring a 3/4. That's a solid rating.
Wrong twin. I meant Roeper
Boring movie

1 week ban bet that this gump gives a bad review for the hobbit even though he said he was going into with a open mind.
LOTR trilogy >>>>>>>>> Batman trilogy. not even in the same ballpark. 1 GREAT movie can't overcome the LOTR trilogy.

Touche
eta: The extended edition was 45 minutes longer and I wasn't bored for a split second. My only thought was when will the Two Towers come out.

i like LOTR but in not a big fantasy genre guy. my personal taste is that i enjoyed batman (the first 2 haven't seen TDKR yet) more than lotr but that doesnt mean lotr sucked. i just dont see why it has to be one or the other

movies like LOTR and batman don't get nominated for oscars or even win. The genre is never allowed to win. LOTR was so good they had no choice. If you put those 2 films together LOTR wins in every aspect but the Joker.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey looks like the start of another blockbuster trilogy
quote:
The film is worthy of both your attention and of the Tolkien legendarium in which Jackson, his actors and his Weta Workshop technical crew are so firmly situated
quote:
, this trilogy is off to a great start. I very much look forward to continuing the journey next year.
quote:
The film is frequently gorgeous, technologically adventurous and eventually thrilling.
quote:
Once the adventure is finally underway, and Martin Freeman's meek hero starts to come into his own, Jackson digs in and delivers an appropriately epic companion piece to his earlier trilogy.
quote:
Regardless of the frames, dimensions, or goggles used to conjure it, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" is an incredible ride and a triumphant return to Middle Earth.
quote:
I feel like the 48 frames per second took off a full half point of enjoyment, yet I proudly reclaim here as I confidently send movie lovers forth to see "The Hobbit" (in 24 frames, please!).
quote:
after seeing The Hobbit I couldn't wait to see it again - projected at 24 frames per second
quote:
At its best, it recaptures the Rings movies' breadth, detail, and staggering sense of beauty.
quote:
Though at two hours, 50 minutes it feels overstuffed, the first "Hobbit" film holds its own thanks to inspired acting and some jaw-dropping technical innovations.
quote:
.. An absolute triumph, possessing all the magic, adventure and excitement of (the) landmark "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
quote:
"The Hobbit" becomes what it was originally meant to be - not a cut-from-the-same-cloth prequel, but its own, individual thing.
quote:
I found that it provided a pretty convincingly immersive experience, and I look forward to the technology's evolution/refinement. Which I guess also means I look forward to the next two installments of the trilogy.
quote:
The board is set, the pieces are moving and we're set up nicely for Jackson to tighten the noose with the love of second-act grit he displayed in The Two Towers.
quote:
The more dark it becomes, the more 'The Hobbit' becomes compelling as a story, and finds a fitting tone.
quote:
"The Hobbit" is an impressive first chapter.
quote:
Piles on enough eye candy and action sequences to please fans, plus more humor than the three "Rings" films - even if it only occasionally achieves the trio's grandeur.
quote:
there's still more than enough here to make it a worthy addition to the Oscar-laden fantasy series.
quote:
The real triumph of The Hobbit is that Peter Jackson leaves you wanting more.
quote:
Peter Jackson returns to the Middle Earth he rendered so faithfully in Lord of the Rings, and it's never looked so glorious.
quote:
The Hobbit plays younger and lighter than Fellowship and its follow-ups, but does right by the faithful and has a strength in Martin Freeman's Bilbo that may yet see this trilogy measure up to the last one. There is treasure here.
quote:
this new forerunner to JRR Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings is set to have merit on its own terms. It's the most exciting film of 2012. And it's a technological ground breaker, too...
quote:
An Unexpected Journey is a competent, entertaining effort but it neither enthralls nor amazes in the way its predecessors did
quote:
On balance, honor has been done to Tolkien, not least in the famous riddle game between Bilbo and Gollum, and some of the exploits to come will surely lighten the load.
quote:
Thankfully, Jackson's flair for action sequences and bold and complex production design hasn't deserted him.
quote:
And we're back! Slam bang in Middle-earth as though the Lord of the Rings trilogy never went away, which it didn't.
quote:
Peter Jackson triumphantly returns to Middle Earth with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. A folksy, beguiling adventure, we get to enjoy the splendor of the story and fantastic settings in a more whimsical experience.
quote:
An Unexpected Journey has so many pay-offs that most are likely to re-engage with the saga.
quote:
Once these dwarves, accompanied by Bilbo and Gandalf, hit the road, the film takes off and doesn't come down until the credits roll.
quote:
The Lord of the Rings trilogy behind him, Peter Jackson has begun yet another, this time adapting the Tolkien epic, The Hobbit.
quote:
Peter Jackson's return to swords, sorcery and beards deserving of their own postcodes is fantasy how it ought to be.
quote:
Fulfilling just a fraction of J.R.R. Tolkien's "There and Back Again" subtitle, The Hobbit alternately rewards and abuses auds' appetite for all things Middle-earth.
quote:
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is more fun than The Fellowship of the Ring, no doubt about it.

In 20 years more people will look at LOTR and what it did for cinema and not think about Batman.

I think people will remember The Dark Knight just as well.

IMO LOTR are just higher quality movies than the Nolan batman films. I loved TDK, but the LOTR trilogy are some of the best films of all time, by any critical and commercial standard.
