I wear glasses so 3D isn't really an option for me. So no 3D or 3D 48fps.
there is no option for me to watch it in 48fps only, where I live. So I will have to watch this in 24fps.

Eh? I wear 3D glasses over my glasses without much problem.

Unless I'm missing Smaug and The Two Armies, I don't think that's the spot everyone's talking about.

Might want to spoiler tag that.

Well, it's new as of today.

Great another gimmick to eventually raise ticket prices further. GF can't stand 3D, always give her headaches so automatically screws us out of a bunch of showings.

Before I had my eye surgery (best decision ever, btw) I wore 3D glasses over top of my glasses for several films (Avatar being the main one)
Yep, I meant that one.

Twas mentioned several times on the previous page.
Give it a shot, the higher frame rate should theoretically reduce eye strain.

Ian Holm's has been de-aged quite a bit in that teaser. Confirmation of Glamdring glowing too.

So Radagast is being compared to Jar Jar Binks.

Radagast the buffoon wouldn't bother me as long as he doesn't go so far as to break my suspension of disbelief. I'll have to wait and see.

Seems like they're adding a bit of Bombadil's tomfoolery to Radagast's character.

Are all the IMAX 3D showings 48 FPS?
The IMAX version showing in Pittsburgh, PA is at "Cinemark Galleria at Pittsburgh Mills and IMAX" and it only lists "IMAX 3D", "RealD 3D" and "Digital Cinema 2D". I assume the Digital Cinema 2D and RealD 2D are going to be 24 FPS versions. From the listing it also seems the IMAX 3D is going to be 24 FPS as well.
This theater is not in the list at http://www.thehobbit.com/hfr3d/ or any of the other sources I could find.
The other theater in Pittsburgh, "Cinemark Robinson Township and XD" does have a listing for "Cinemark XD High Frame Rate - RealD 3D"

No, not all of them are. I got IMAX tickets at Lincoln Center for opening day, but the 48fps weren't on sale yet when I did.

Silly goose. That's the whole point of the 'gimmick'. A higher frame-rate is supposed to get rid of the problems people have with 3D.

awww man my theater has 3D high frame rate, but IMAX 3D seems like it doesn't have the high frame rate 
Edmond Dantès

How strange. I can account for all those inclusions, but
It cannot be. Unless the BBFC have the cast list wrong.
Beorn?

Indeed. Although
that might be the Necromancer rather than the voice of Smaug
Thranduil is only in this film for a brief moment.

That certainly makes sense, but
Beorn
Radagast as Beorn does sort of know him in the book.

Yeah same here. Odeon Metrocentre I have to choose between Liemax 3D or Standard 3D HFR. Why couldn't the HFR be available on their Imax screen too?

Booked tickets for Odeon Belfast for Tuesday night
£7.40 or so each for premier seating including glasses, damn good price compared to the rest of the UK.

Exactly. How can anyone forget Merry & Pippin singing the Green Dragon song in the halls of Edoras?

Haven't heard anything about that. I'm guessing bluray players would need a firmware update. Or maybe its not even universally possible.
