@jtb- Yeah I knew the Hobbit was a childrens book and I was expecting it to be more light-hearted than LOTR, but really stretching this over 3 movies is a huge mistake because in the 1st part nothing really happens.
There is an epic amount of pointless filler in the middle. Literally just 2 hours of random things that happen to them that has no bearing on the story at all, so you totally lose a sense of why they're going through all of this since its not mentioned much outside of the beginning and the very last scene.
An example of where the studio knows this will be a major cash cow for 3 straight years and wouldnt allow this to be 1 movie, but this would have been FAR better if the whole story were told in one 3 hour movie.
A good Bilbo quote from LOTR that is extremely fitting for this movie. "It's like butter spread over too much bread".
