Am I the only one who didn't notice this magical frame rate? And thought the movie looked pretty good. Honestly, when people keep talking about the higher frame rate, I honestly can't see it.
What kind of theater did you see it in? Some theaters showed it in standard 24fps.
Just saw it. Thought it was dragged out a little too much (hai Radaghast), but overall a great film.
look at Return of the King with its 23 million false endings.
Sylvester McCoy. He's a Scottish stage actor.
Sylvester McCoy. He's Doctor Who.
It pretty much comes down to how you feel about Tolkien. If you have read all of his letters, The Unfinished Tales, The Silmarillion (I can name all the Valar), etc. then the atmosphere and just how much lore they do get in there is going to be enough to make you forgive the (very evident) flaws in the movie.
As a straight-experience. Overly long. 48 FPS does lend it a phantasmagorical realism that juts you out of things. Martin Freeman, Andy Serkis, and Ian McKellen are terrific. Bit players do good work. Rest of the cast is... eh.
I refuse to recognize any cultural events that occurred in Britain during Maggie's reign. Thatcher delenda est.
But yes. You're right. I had forgotten all about the... was he the Seventh Doctor? Or the Eighth?
Understandable. I hate Margaret Thatcher.
As for Sylvester McCoy, he was the Seventh Doctor. We do not speak of Eight.
The Tenth Doctor was terrible.
