I hated it intensely it looked like video. And the pop out effects of the 3d just to show Legolas shooting arrows was ridiculous.

Though I’d love for other people to be able to own the 3D version though I don’t see how that would work in the home at 48fps.

They still look fake on Blu-Ray and UHD. I honestly don’t understand why they didn’t shoot on Super 35mmm like LOTR trilogy. And I also found the lack of bigatures to be a problem, too much cgi.

I’d hope they’d shoot on film and go back to real sets, locations and props for the Hunt for Gollum. It will probably be another cg fest. And of course rest in peace Andrew Lesnie. It won’t be the same without him. It’s hard to believe he died ten years ago.
