So I went straight to 24fps and 2D, a lot of long pans and moving camera shots that have been made with this HFR in mind, so they look a bit rubbish in 24fps*. But then you will cut to Bilbo's hobbit hole or something where I expect the 48fps looks like rubbish.
 It may be the case that as this technology becomes more…

Yea, the attempt to make a Legolas stand in is just too transparent, as well as diminishing the characteristics that they are supposed to have.

What about the bit just before you meet Gollum, where Bilbo is lying there next to that unconscious orc?
I was all "wow, practical effect orcs look awesome!"

Yes, I nearly jeered at that moment. I was hoping he would put this ring on, and I think he could have done it without giving the game away to the other Dwarfs, but then you wouldn't have had that final moment between Bilbo and Thorin (where I felt like jeering again).

Bilbo also says that he is quite good at conkers. Do you have the same problems with the sport of conkers?

He has a weaselly  cunning, I wouldn't put it past him to think up the double-cross but not actually have the guts to go through with it.

You know, even if you want to champion character over plot, neither of those elements are going to really work for most viewers if the other does not provide the basis for it.

You know, one thing that really bugs me is that joke Gimli makes about dwarfs being bad long distance runners and 'natural sprinters'.
