re: Official Hobbit The Desolation of Smaug Review Thread (spoilers)

The main thing I noticed was how much more intended for kids The Hobbit movies are than the 1st 3 movies. And this 2nd one even more than the 1st. Seemed like just endless streams of mindless action, which I guess makes sense since there isn't all that much plot.
Also, for the 3D people, I saw it in 3D IMAX. I noticed that it looked more like "video" than film, which lent a very cheap quality to the appearance. Did anyone else have that effect? It was sort of like if you have a super-bright LCD or LED flat panel TV and it looks like video.
I really wish the 1st 3 movies had had 2 or 3 parts each.

There were at least 11 graphic beheadings. I get that Jackson has a sick sense of humor from his early films, but the beheadings and cartoony characters just don't work for me.
People used the "it's for the children" excuse in the first movie and I didn't buy that excuse then. This movie had even more beheadings than the first one.
The silly style just doesn't mesh with the graphic violence. And for the record, I have nothing against the violence, I do have a thing against the shitty cartoony style.
