Cool reception for Hobbit teaser

Teaser footage from Peter Jackson's much-hyped movie 'The Hobbit' has received a cool reception from critics.

The director unveiled 10 minutes of his prequel to the 'Lord of the Ring's trilogy at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas.

The film was shot at a rate of 48 frames per second, compared with the industry standard of 24.

Most reporters haven't taken to the hyper-realistic look, with one saying it "looked like a made-for-TV movie".
