I really enjoyed HFR it only distracted me for the first few minutes.

The actions scenes were way clearer.

I saw the first 2 hobbits on TV and the 3rd in theaters. And I definitely preferred HFR.

I do production and post production for a living. I didn't like HFR in Hobbit. The lighting was off, so was motion blur - cheapening the effect of it. Maybe with further tweaking it will look 'filmic' eventually. I do like it in 3D though. Also, high frame rate is AWESOME for (almost) anything live TV, and I think that's a real future of it.
