From the end of the trilogy in 2004 to the present, it has been eight years. The movie "The Hobbit" almost died after several twists and turns. I still remember the letter from PJ to the fans in 2006, explaining the difficulties encountered in the film and the possibility of its death. risks of. The sentence in his letter, We got to go there, but not back again, is still sour when I think about it. I still remember that when I saw that everyone voted for PJ on theonering.net, he said that no matter how long he waited, he would never give up. There is one Fans said that I have been waiting for the Lotr movie for half my life, and don't care if I continue to wait for the Hobbit.
When I arrived in Hong Kong this weekend, I saw movie posters in the subway station, and then went to the cinema. I saw the huge posters and layouts. I still felt unreal. Until I sat in front of the screen, the huge three-dimensional newline cinema icon appeared in front of me. , I suddenly felt my dreams come true. It turns out that we can really see Middle-earth on the big screen again, see the stories of our beloved, familiar characters come to life on this land again, exciting melody and grand movement sounded again. When the old Bilbo opened the red book, when Frodo happily said that summer night party, ready to give Gandalf a surprise, time went back in an instant, nothing changed, but he already knew it. The waves behind are magnificent, and looking at the simplicity and innocence now, I always feel a little bit cried. But the real first tear was the moment Bilbo rushed out the door with his luggage on his back. He galloped through the fields and shouted: "I'm going to take an adventure!" My tears burst out in an instant. It may be because: deep down in your heart, what kind of person you are, what kind of person you want to be, will always let you make a choice at the most critical moment and take the path you are destined to go.
I watched the 48fps IMAX 3D version (in the iSquare IMAX theater in Hong Kong). It is very bright and clear. The fighting and sports shots are smooth and not dizzy at all. The sense of following is super strong, and the screen shots are very fast. Can see clearly. According to ringer who watched the 24 frame rate version, I can see more details (especially fast-moving shots), and my eyes are not tired, and I don’t feel that “it’s too real to see the pores.” . PJ is great! Support 48 frame rate! The only worry is the brightness of the projectors of ordinary domestic theaters (IMAX should be no problem). In domestic theaters, 3D is almost always dark, and I hope it can be improved.
PJ has done a lot of tribute to LOTR shots, listed below, because I only
watched it once, there must be omissions, please correct me: ===There are spoilers below, if you mind, please watch it carefully. The ringer that you haven’t watched is also the same. So as not to spoil your surprise. ====

So, PJ said that this is a movie made by fans for fans to watch. Really, even a fan of me is a little worried about whether it doesn't take care of ordinary audiences too much. However, according to the non-ringer evaluations I watched with me, although she does not remember the content of the LOTR trilogy, she is still very happy to watch it.
In terms of the tone and pattern of the story, "The Hobbit" is basically the same as the LOTR trilogy, and successfully adapted the original structure of a relatively simple children's story to a much larger scale. The protagonist setting of the story is also the same as that of LOTR. In the dual protagonist mode, LOTR is Frodo and Aragorn, and the Hobbit is Bilbo and Thorin. The opponent has changed from the original evil dragon to the secretly accumulating and rising Sauron (it looks like it should be at the moment, and see the development of the latter two parts), both in the story and structure are in the same line with LOTR.
