Ну не так же фанбойно, Алекс...
Потому что фильм близок к великолепному.

film's length, visual style, its highly controversial High Frame Rate, and whether or not the film matched the level of expectation built from The Lord of the Rings film trilogy.
Мальца затянут, да. Визуальный стиль великолепен. 48 кадров не применимо к обычной версии

Я бы даже сказал, по качеству Хоббит трилогию уделывает

The problem with "The Hobbit" is that instead of moments like these (речь о сцене с Голлумом) being the point, they feel like the mortar to the bricks of computer-calculated action.

The first half-hour [...] is painful on the eyeballs. The look on the screen is distracting but familiar – somewhere between a soap opera, a sports-bar football game and a direct-to-video kids program from a bygone era. By doubling the frame rate of traditional 35mm film production and current high-definition video, the new format provides twice the visual information. Instead of being immersed in the action, you find yourself staring at the prosthetics and props. Instead of engaging with the drama, you’re staring at the sets and the actor’s choreography. ...the difference between this and conventional film is the difference between in-your-dreams and in-your face.

Second, there's the length of it. The 169 minutes of screen time stretches further than lines for a new iPhone. This hurts, since the first 45 minutes of the film traps us in the hobbit home of the young Bilbo Baggins
Не более затянут, чем трилогия
Цитата
The three "Lord of the Rings" were heavy on battle scenes, but "The Hobbit" is almost nothing but battles. Without a stopwatch, it would be hard to know for sure, but probably 50 percent of screen time is taken up with fighting - perhaps up to 80 percent if you count planning for and recovering from battles. Some of these battles have pockets of interest...

side from pacing, the main problem is that "The Hobbit's" characters lack the crispness that makes for inspiring adventure. Freeman's finger-fidgeting Bilbo is a fussbudget creature, frustrated, prissy and befuddled. His personality takes a darker, more determined hue when he encounters Gollum (Andy Serkis, digitally transformed) and slips on the Ring of power and bad vibes, but that evolution comes very late in the game.

This Hobbit plays like a rough cut, with no deleted scenes left for DVD
Ну это более или менее справедливо

In Jackson's academically fastidious telling, however, it's as if The Wizard of Oz had taken nearly an hour just to get out of Kansas. There are elements in this new film that are as spectacular as much of the Rings trilogy was, but there is much that is flat-footed and tedious as well, especially in the early going.
