Seeing it tonight so I'll post back with thoughts. The trailer didn't leave me full of hope, but I'm going to give it its fair chance

Heard really mixed reviews from friends, it seems those who went with low expectations loved it but those who were really excited not so much. Apparently there are extra characters and it's really different from the book, but yeah bit worried about how they're going to spin it out that much!

Is it really for money, i head they were making two films which then turned into three. Maybe they had too much material.

[Scarey]

These guys don't need money...

I enjoyed the film. Yes it is long but it doesn't feel long. A sure sign of a good film. I think the public now accept longer films and this seems like an evolution. Lord of the rings=3 books/3 long films. Hobbit=1 smaller book/3 long films. It's frustrating to have to wait for the other parts, but that's just like a book trilogy. If all 3 films turn out as good as the 1st part, it'll be a job well done! A legendary book needs a legendary set of films

Having seen it over Christmas I'm firmly of the view that it's all for the moneh. Loads of padding and superfluous BS in there. So boring in places I was more interested in the 3D effects on the scenery. Will only be watching parts 2 & 3 when they get on the telly if they're the same low quality. Peter Jackson cashing in. A shame.

Agreed. I got very bored and nearly walked out. Lots of it seemed like whimsical pointless backstory that isn't very interesting (the big initial boring meeting in The Hobbit's house, and Radagast in particular was the JarJar Binks of The Hobbit). The whole thing needed a damned good editing to cut the fat.

[randomman]

never like films devided into parts, lets hope they won't ruin the furture films

[Butuz]

I enjoyed the film in general but it did seem a bit slow and drawn out. I think it's easily a 2 filmer. 3 is not needed.

Another thing that annoyed me throughouut was that the entire soundtrack was straight from LOTR. Clearly they're cashing in and not bothering with an original OST.

This is worrying as LOTR1 was the best out of the three so if I've just seen the best Hobbit out of the three the next two aint gonna be worth the 40 minute drive to the cinema and £13 for a ticket.

Another thing worth thinking about is that I recon the hobbit trilogy as now, would be a whole lot better if the LOTR films did not exist.

good story although a lot of padding , took about and hour or so to `get going` - and Mr Jackson literally made a role for Radagast - although he is as eccentric as he is in the books (flora and fauna over people).

pretty much ends 1/2 through the book? so film 3 will be as MGM wanted - the link movie between hobbit and lotr , taken from material at the end return of the king book


now , will they get the rights for silmarilion?

and interview with Christopher Tolkien - the only 1 he ever has given , from last year

Yup, if he felt that way after TLOTR films he must have blown a top when he saw The Hobbit (assuming he's not actively ignoring it which he probably is!).
