It better be more fun.
Like all unexpected journeys, there are a few pitfalls along the way, most notably the tangential subplot surrounding bumbling wizard Radagast the Brown (Sylvester McCoy), whose buffoonery at times descends into Jar Jar Binks territory.
Glad to see the positive reactions, and I'm feeling a bit more comfortable about the 48 fps. However, this is a small point of concern:
Jar Jar Binks? I doubt it's that severe. But I was never that excited about Radagast's subplot anyway.

I don't expect excess excess until the second and third films.
I wouldn't think Radagast is in the film more than a handful of scenes. But if Gimli in ROTK proves anything, it is that Jackson can sometimes go over the top with the comic relief.
A bit too much crazy uncle Gimli in ROTK and perhaps TTT.
But i like crazy uncle.
I have a weak spot for that stuff. Not bafoonary like Jar Jar Binks. But like Gimli falling while they were chasing the Uruk. His hesitation at the entrance to the paths of the dead. Him tip toeing across the skulls. All that endeared him to me. Made me like him even more.
That stuff is fine, but what I didn't like is that it felt like there wasn't enough of the thoughtful, proud warrior that we see in FOTR to balance it out. I think that film had the perfect mix.

LOL love that line. Was it in the book?

Uhhh it was recognized by ancient Greeks and Egyptians. So wrong.
