The Hobbit : The Desolation of Smaug
I saw it at 11:00AM yesterday, in 24 or 28 FPS. Anyway it was in Vmax and it was clear and vivid as ever.
Though, with the way they had spaced out the climatic scenes, it appeared to go to on and on, Then it finished quite abruptly when I thought they were going to show a certain scene.
A majority of this film just went over my head and I will need to really see it a few more times.
While I'm still watching the first movie on television.....
I almost forgot to mention. As I had traveled into the city of Brisbane from the town of Ipswich by train to see the film yesterday. I went all the way back into Ipswich, as it's not really my stop, but I wanted to buy something from s hop they have just across the river and and as I was crossing the footbridge. I noticed some people coming towards me. They must be either on the way to movies in town or on the way back from the new cinema that may or may not have been built by now at the newer shopping complex across the river.
The one dressed as Gandalf, and another perhaps as a non-descript Wood-Elf, a very short, possibly female Ring-Wraith or was she meant to be Sauron and what I could only describe after he had walked past me to be Beorn. I think there were two other people dressed up as well., but can't clearly remember what they were wearing.
Well, while their costumes only looked good from a distance. It was good to see people still carrying this tradition on at the movies and during the years of the Hobbit Trilogy.
Yes, Gandalf's costume looked more like spare parts to me and he didn't have anything resembling the correct sword and staff even and the same goes for the rest of them, but the thing about the person dressed as Beorn. Despite it's lack of authenticity with his silvery haired wig. He is quite a big beefy looking boy at well over six-feet tall.
I of course was planning to do the same, and was going to go to all the trouble of getting a authentically made Gandalf costume with the wide brim hat and scarf, pipe, satchel-bag, cape, long grey beard and wig. I already have the official sword, staff, and scarf replicas. I was told by the people who make these things that I had asked them way to late in the year for them to have them made on time and besides I hadn't the money to pay them this time round.
Maybe next year......

Smaug being shot to death by Bard's black arrow.
This movie also had it's own share of video-gamey antics when Smaug was chasing the dwarves around the interior of Erebor. and that golden statue! What was that about?

Did anybody notice anything different about Bolg?
He's minus the red beard and long hair he had when Thorin was retelling the the Battle outside the gates of Moria in the first movie.
