A bit hard to know if you'll like a movie until you pay to see it though.

The Hobbit conundrum is easily solved by seeing the 24fps version. There still aren't a whole lot of theaters that can show 48fps yet. If Jackson is the only one pushing to shoot in the format, it will end up an interesting footnote in cinema history.

So wait for a review from a critic you trust or watch the trailers.

When it comes to CGI if you think it is hurting people and destroying film making that is easy to avoid,if you see any sign of CGI in the trailer just don't go to the movie and soon Hollywood will have to stop using CGI.
