The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug


Recommended Posts

I thought that the first one was absolutely fantastic. I never quite understood all of the criticism it got for the 60fps cinematography and some thought that the story moved really slowly. Can't wait for this one!

"Tonight Martin Freeman finished his last shot as Bilbo Baggins. The end of an incredible two and a half years. I cannot imagine anyone else in this role - a character that Martin has nurtured and crafted with love and great skill. 

 

We have said goodbye to our elves, humans, wizards and now the hobbit. We now enter our final 2 weeks of pick-ups, and it's wall to wall dwarves. These pick-ups have been grueling and intense, but I'm so happy with what we've been shooting. These next two movies are going to be pretty great!"

Beorn was of immense size and strength for a man, and retained his size and strength in bear-form. He had black hair (in either form) and a thick black beard and broad shoulders (in human form). While not a "giant" outright, Beorn's human form was of such great size.

watch the first one on opening night at the Roxie in Wellington (48ftps) and enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing this also.

At first the movement seemed far too fast and every looked wrong but very quickly I got used to it and thought it was excellent. I'd like to see all movies move to HFR.
