I liked it but, first 1,5 hour was quite boring. Last hour was realy nice. But i was disapointed that they splited it on 3 parts. I didnt know it until i saw it in cinema.

oh i should've mentioned. if you haven't seen it and want to, don't read these comments yet hehe



yeah. i heard they're going to make part 1 and 2 related to the books, and part 3 will be some sort of link between the hobbit and lotr.

i didn't like that they changed so many things in ways that weren't like that in the book. i didn't dislike the part about introducing a bit of radagast (although his sled is sort of stupid xD) and sauron in a sort of attempt to make connections to lotr's main story, even though none of that appears in the book. i'm not sure even azog and the whole "jabba the hutt" goblin king and his cave appears, but it's been a few years since i read the book so i can't be sure

story aside, i liked the movie. the first part was bit boring yeah, i thought it wouldn't be nowhere near as epic, but they made some battles and exciting stuff (although, very much unlike the book (battles fit lotr more than the hobbit))
and the whole new resolution thing or the 48fps or whatever it was they're introducing, makes some parts seem a bit strange. some of it looks like video games or unrealistic

I saw it in Dbox last night, it was really awesome. I think that is was really aimed for the kiddos, which is alright. At least it was funny. I loved the beginning it really was a nice start to the movie. Also the characters were portrayed perfectly in the movie. It was amazing. :]

first book i ever read (even if it was the illustrated version) but hesitant to go and see it, 3 hr movie for the first third of the book... i can only envisage a dissapointing money grabbing exercise

[Glarundis]

akk, they added some material from appendixes and stuff like that to connect with lotr and stuff, so it's actually more than just what you see on the book

I think it was awesome, havent read the book tho.

Went to see yesterday. Was great!

Who cares about the book and what was expected and stuff.. It's a fantasy movie and it takes us on a travel! I loved it!
