48fps...blech.
If you're looking to revisit the magnificent "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, you've come to the right place, sort of. While lacking the grand narrative sweep, bold characterizations and incredible supporting elements of that masterpiece, it's good enough to have you leave the theater wanting more. Does the material deserve 3 installments? My first trip to Paris was the most memorable, but I have been back many times since. I guess I'd rather have parts 2 and 3 of the Hobbit to look forward to rather than have nothing else in the Jackson Middle -Earth pipeline. The Middle Earth universe is a great pleasure to re-visit and Jackson gives us a great tour of one of our favorite cinematic places.
