I watched the Hobbit in 3D. My 3D glasses were dirty, and I had to repeatedly wipe to get the stain off, although unsuccessfully. I should have checked before the movie started. I didn't want to go out to change for a better one. But even that didn't make the movie experience any less enjoyable. The visuals were great. Tolkien's masterpiece has been taken to another level by Pete & Co.
Watching the production videos on YouTube before the movie came out got me all the more excited. The hard work they put in to shape a fictional story may seem meaningless to some. But once in a while, you need someone like Peter Jackson or James Cameron to show grandeur through cinema. These are the people who take the cinematic experience to the next level.
Being a big fan of the LOTR movie franchise, watching the Hobbit first day was a must. I did, and I love LOTR franchise even more. This movie is a wonderful addition. That I have to wait one more year to see Smaug (though I have a feeling I won't see him until the third movie in 2014) is a little sad. I had only read about 50% of the book before I went to watch the movie and was afraid the movie would reveal the mystery. The movie hasn't even covered 35-40% of the book. The screenwriters have made changes to the sequence of events as well, but it was necessary. Thorin does not look like a dwarf to me, but I guess it was important to distinguish him from the others, him being the King and all.
Go watch the movie and you'll thank yourself for that. The visuals are a treat for your eyes, and the score for your ears. Little song interludes are awesome, too. On the downside, it is long. I had expected this to be a masterpiece of Peter Jackson, and it is one. Thanks, Pete.
