The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Grading & Discussion (Spoilers) - Page 34

I loved the opening prologue! It was epic and huge! Particularly since I was seeing High Frame Rate for the first time in my life.

ATimson · January 18 2013, 01:42 AM

I liked the prologue with the dwarves. I think the framing story with Bilbo could've been lost with no harm done, however.

Can't be bothered reading the thread.. did some of the soundtrack have the same refrain as some JJTrek?

This thread... hmmm... feels incomplete in some way...

Let me think.

Ah, I know! It needs a HISHE treatment!

Scrotum Beard!

Skywalker · January 19 2013, 09:14 PM

Okay, that one was pretty good.

lurok · January 19 2013, 09:20 PM

Love the dwarves song at end

JD · January 20 2013, 05:54 AM

Very funny.

FalTorPan · January 27 2013, 10:30 PM

I finally watched the movie. It was okay, but it felt waaaaaaay too long. I enjoyed the LOTR trilogy, but I have no particular interest in watching the next two Hobbit films.

Skywalker · February 15 2013, 11:45 AM

Somewhat old news now, but An Unexpected Journey will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on March 19th, and for digital download on March 12th! Also, Peter Jackson will be hosting a live first look at The Desolation of Smaug on March 24th, but it will be restricted only to those who buy the movie, which will come with an access code.

I'll be waiting for the inevitable Extended Edition (which will likely come out in November or so), but I thought folks might like to know.

Turtletrekker · February 15 2013, 10:24 PM

An extended cut? Really? My biggest complaint about tbhe movie was that it was a theatrical release that already felt like an extended cut. I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

Skywalker · February 15 2013, 10:30 PM

I don't know if there's been an official announcement for one, but I'm pretty certain it will happen.

Wereghost · February 16 2013, 02:07 AM

The extended cut was announced about four months ago apparently, and going by Empire it appears to have been finalised before the theatrical version was released.

PS: Per Amazon it appears the the DVD/Blu-ray release (in Europe anyway) will take place on April 8th.

Set Harth · February 16 2013, 02:20 AM

I sure hope it doesn't take as long to come out here as ROTK:EE did.

Edit: Amazon tells me nothing, even about the theatrical cut:
"Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available." Gah!
