The Hobbit 3

Happy New Year! This happens to be my 300th blog posting.

Today's main event was dim sum at our favorite restaurant, which was delicious and long missed. Then we went to see "The Hobbit 3." The 3D showing was the perfect timing so I reluctantly agreed to go for it, thinking I could get dizzy. Actually that was a double reluctance, because I wasn't so excited about more Lord Of the Rings type of fighting, which was totally made up to be a contrived third movie just so some film makers can make more money. But I went.

Actually the none fighting part, which was basically the first half of the movie, wasn't bad at all. There was good character development, good plot, and the 3D graphics were excellent. As the inevitable fighting scenes start, I was very nervous and did not enjoy it.

I kept thinking, "OK, I get it, there is this big and impossible war, where lots of heads being chopped off. Why don't we skip to the end, where the Orcs defeated and Bilbo goes home?" Then I thought, "whoever in the right mind would enjoy any kind of fight like this?"

Oh, if you are going to watch the movie, don't miss out the awesome sketches at the credit. I'm still wondering if they are real hand sketches or computer generated. If they are hand sketches, someone REALLY did a good job! Note, I rarely use all caps in my blog.
