Why do you get sick with it?I officially hate 48fps. HATE IT.
I haven't had any issues with either 3D or 48fps

I noticed that with one other film, don't recall what it was now, but, yeah on films like these you almost WANT a fuzziness to it.The problem with 48fps for me is that it loses the illusion or suspension of disbelief. It looks so real that it looks fake. During a scene, it's like I am standing on set or holding the camera.
I reminds me of when I watch blu-ray on some types of televisions. It's like I'm watching the movie at 1.5x speed. Initially, it's jarring.
Did Jackson do any sort of father/son relationship stuff in here?
Convenience, dog. Convenience.
See the 3d, cgi elements of the first film actually did benefit from the 48 frames I thought but it was the live action parts of the first hobbit film that suffered. Considering how much an Avatar sequel would likely be an entirely CGI creation it might actually not be bad.
Is it really though? I'm not a producer or director so I don't know, but I can't imagine it's actually cheaper to CGI all that stuff in? All the green screen work and render time it takes etc. It's got to be cheaper to go practical. Especially with characters like the Orcs. I mean, it's not like I'm saying make a practical Smaug.
This trilogy was going to be a cash cow going in. The extra amount it cost to create the CGI characters is nothing when that kind of money is being made.
And by the way, I completely agree with you. I felt that those two characters specifically should have been practical. It just looks much better and definitely could have been cheaper. Besides, old ol' practical effects and make-up is scarce these days. This is why I wish Guillermo Del Toro was still directing these films. He would have done as much practical effects/make-up as he could have before he introduced CGI. That is cinema magic.
Noticed Jackson right off in Bree. If anyone missed him. lol
The biggest criticism I had of this movie, above even the random added side-plots, was far and away the CGI.
I honestly do not understand why Jackson has characters CGI WHEN THERE IS NO NEED FOR THEM TO BE CGI. Even with how good the tech is today, they still look fake, and they don't look as good as well-done makeup on a real actor does. Azog does not need to be CGI, he could easily be a real man and Jackson could use the same camera tricks to make him look bigger that he does with Gandalf. Bolg didn't need to be CGI. All the other orcs that were randomly CGI DIDN'T NEED TO BE FRIGGIN CGI.
It's just annoying, because the orcs he used in the films he made over a decade ago look better than the ones he has in his film now, and that's just inexcusable. But even further, it separates the look and feel of the Hobbit films on a design aspect.
It just really bugs me, and I honestly have no idea why he made that choice.
isn't cameron doing 60fps?
60fps? My goodness.
Convenience, dog. Convenience.
You thought Thranduil was wasted? Honestly, despite only being in the film for a few minutes they did a great job with him. He is ancient and regal yet wild and fey just as he should be. Beyond that they alluded to a very interesting back-story that he had.
You can tell most of their cg bill went towards Smaug. Saw this for a third time and I was shocked to find myself really loving it. Still have problems like the really terrible cg, like really terrible but I was still loving it
