It was crap.

I agree with both of you. It was perfectly fun and entertaining. But it almost immediately left my mind afterwards. I am by no means a fanatic tho. So, there's that.

I'm kind of mixed on it. We watched it last month I think and I thought I'd be more into it. I sort of felt like it was too amusing in contrast to LOTR, which had seemed more dramatic because of what they were trying to do. The visuals were great, of course. I guess it just didn't have that 100% escapist feel to it like LOTR does; I can watch any of those movies and completely tune the world out.

I really enjoyed The Hobbit. The production is so through the roof it's easy to forgive some of the small things that get lost in translation with these movies.
Go see the movie, relax, enjoy yourself and try to remember why you like movies like this in the first place - because they're magical and do such a good job of taking you out of the everyday and into a wonderful new world that you're lucky movies like this are made at all.

I enjoyed it. But it wasn't a good film. Completely missed the point of what makes The Hobbit what it is.

i don't remember anything about storm giants in the book. or galadriel. or any of the thorin/orc guy beef.
but then i haven't read it since i was 9
- Stone giants were in there. Galadriel was not. Goblin guy (Azog) was mentioned briefly, but had a different role and died before book began.tcmmct
- Theyre trying to take 1 book and spread it across 3 movies, there's stuff added and other things handled differently.CygnusZero4

I felt like they overused the CGI in this movie. In LOTR you had huge battle scenes, but there was some restraint in the depiction of characters (orcs all being played by real people for example). Here it was like they just threw all restraint out the window and did everything with computers. The problem is that as good as studios have gotten with this stuff, it still doesn't look real to me. The white orc, goblin king, etc...looked like characters from a video game. Compare this with something like Pan's Labyrinth where they used mostly costumes and animatronics...the characters in that movie were far more convincing and scary.
- Yeah these crazy CGI movies worked for me in the late 90s and 2000's, not anymore though.CygnusZero4
- It actually almost felt dated to me because the trend now is practical effects as much as possible.CygnusZero4
- This movie is such a huge CGI fest, felt like it should have come out 10 years ago.CygnusZero4
