ysobel- Previews consisted of: (not in this order) one Star Trek preview of awesomeness, with some similarity to the one that was released to the wild internets but also some new-to-me things; one Lone Ranger preview that still makes me super uncomfortable at best; and a kajillion postapocalyptic movies.
- Martin Freeman still completely owns my heart omg ♥
- Aidan Turner is pretty.
- the early bit with the dwarves in Bilbo's house still trips my embarrassment squick and mehhh.
- also the starting narration explaining what a hobbit-hole is makes sense in the context of Tolkein's novel for humans but not so much in the context of Bilbo writing for Frodo. Who is, after all, a hobbit himself.
- giant spiders are creepy gah.
- some of the special effects were kind of giant flashing HI WE ARE AWESOME SPECIAL EFFECTS ZOMG rather than fitting seamlessly in
- the end credits made be blink because hey Sylvester McCoy I know that name
- there was no post-credits clip
So. Good movie, not as great as I was expecting, although some of that may be the depression brain trolling me, and long; MF is still the awesomest; and I want the Star Trek movie now dammit.
