How?
Is it to watch 2D or 3D?
Which one is better than the Lord of the Rings?
The answer to the first question: great. There are so many things in this movie, and the best thing I think is that it embodies human imagination to an unprecedented level. The CGs of Dale, Erebor and Rivendell have been superb, especially when Rivendell flashed from the valley, and the waterfalls pouring around the cliffs shone in the setting sun. I think that scene makes Tolkien himself embarrassed. Cry and weep.
The answer to the second question, if possible, please see 3D iMAX HFR, but if it is a normal screen, I think 3D is of little significance.
As for the third question, my answer is that I think it exceeds the original biography of the Lord of the Rings. There are many factors, so we must first consider my own problems. When the Lord of the Rings came out, I was just a little kid with a poor aesthetic view. My love for Middle-Earth was lower than at present, and I was almost ignorant of British culture. It was a little homework when I watched the first two parts. I didn't do it. Before looking at Hobbit this time, I discussed with the British in the office for nearly two months. This is also the second possible factor, that is, I saw Hobbit in the UK. Tolkien may be just a pastime for China. It is a great foreign literature. In the UK, he is part of the culture, infiltrating everyone's blood. You think the people who are least likely to read magical literature can talk to you about Middle-earth.
And I think the most important reason is that I sneered at the Hobbit at the beginning, that is, it cut a small book into three movies.
Once again I want to review my preconceivedness. Although I don’t know how much I have suffered at this point, I admit that I just said that "The Lord of the Rings is a book, and the Hobbit’s children’s literature is actually cut down. Three, PJ is a fool who is scamming money with Warner. Many people had the same idea with me at first, and this idea was more or less based on a basic idea: The Lord of the Rings is already very good, just can't shoot it like that, PJ must have ulterior motives to come up with other Yaozi. No matter how much, the Hobbit movie can't be better than the original biography.
And reality slapped my face hard.
Cutting a book into three parts gave the Hobbit every little detail a chance to be shown. Some details don’t even come from the Hobbits. For example, Balin explained to you that the origin of Thorin Oak Shield’s name actually came from ROTK, but I’m satisfied with this insertion. Some people may say Cheesy is deliberately sensational. I like.
And the joy brought by this grasp of every little detail, instead, reminded me of the shortcomings of the original biography of the Lord of the Rings, and awakened those places that I was not satisfied with at the time. For example, I told Fufu that Eowyn was completely described as a Fangirl in ROTK's movies. Limited space, too little foreshadowing. One second before the Emperor was still alive and dead, the next second he saw the Prime Minister on the wall of Gondor, and he immediately climbed. The result of omitting or even missing a large part of Faramir and Eowyn's previous life experience and psychological activities is that even if the mutual complaints at the top of the wall are completely displayed, it is just like the confession of the university dormitory, which is contrived and abrupt.
Of course, this is just an example, and it doesn't make much sense to compare Hobbit with the original biography. Compared with the grandeur of this biography, Hobbit's pattern is much smaller, and it is destined to be more suitable for Hobbit compared to the main line of the story, which focuses on details. This shooting method also left many challenges for PJ. The one I care about most is the Battle of the Five Armies. Compared to Minastiris and the Valley of the Helm, it is more like a gang fight. I am looking forward to how to achieve sensory impact at the same time without exaggerating the original. The Hobbit's first movie at least gave me confidence in anticipation.
