I have to say for a three hour running time, nothing really happened. I think at this point it's just a cash grab. There's no other logical reason for them to stretch it into three movies. I also had the misfortune of seeing it in 3D, which didn't really add to anything. The only time I felt like it was in 3D was when Bilbo squeezed his buttons off his vest.
I think the best thing to do is to look at it as a trilogy. I'm sure the second and third movies will tie this one together. Though I do wish that they followed the book more closely. But if you don't like it now, I'm sure there'll be a remake in 30-50 years, as with every other movie.

Yes, it sucked because it was not faithful to the book as Tolkien had written it. I'm surprised the Tolkien estate allowed it to be released. It is a catastrophe. If Peter Jackson had stuck to the novel as it was written and not let technology overkill ruin the feel of the story, he might have succeeded. But he did not. Lifelong Tolkien fans and those who understand the novel know that this movie is an utter failure on many levels.

I don't mean to be rude, but... um... well... you're kind of wrong, I'm afraid. This movie rules the freaking school.

The movie is beautiful visually but it's a tad long and a little slow, but I like Peter Jackson and I like the Hobbit. Great movie.

The Hobbit is actually three movies, close to three hours each i'm assuming. Just think of this one as the opening act. I thought it was great...watched it 3 times. How often do movies like this come out? They are rare indeed. I enjoyed it just as much as LOTR.

Correct, it sucked. I loved the end where (spoiler alert) wolves jumping at a tree knocked a freaking tree over. Of course it falls over, knocks another over that knocks another over etc. Anyone ever see a tree fall over like that, I mean outside of a Bugs Bunny cartoon? I like it, because it means there is no way anyone will talk me into seeing the second installment. Signed, still bitter about paying for the first one.

Well we all have our opinions on the matter, whether or not I agree with your opinion is another matter. But hey, not every movie is made for everyone.

Take your gal to a real movie next time, not some little movie made for overgrown children who wank their wizard staff to Gandalf in their parent's basement all day

I feel so sorry for anyone who is not caught up in the magic that PJ has done to Tolkien, the dwarf dish song was so fun, it brought back memories of when I read this book to my children in the early 1980s. So glad that all of the PJ-Tolkien movies were made, my only regret is this trilogy will be the last. I had a blast watching this and all of my Middle Earth friends.

Your thoughts are perceptive and insightful! I can't imagine why these ignoramuses below fail to see your genius.

It's going to be a trilogy, foolish one.

dont lie to yourselves it was a crap movie, even critics think so. deal with it

Its common knowledge that The Hobbit was always going to be at least 2 movies, but they chose to make it a trilogy to give enough time to flesh out the book. And just like the Lord of the Rings (which by your comment I'm assuming you've neither seen nor heard of) director Peter Jackson shot the trilogy as one and is releasing one film every year on boxing day. I personally thought it was really good, and sure it took its time to set up the characters, but when you watch them all together it will be a great trilogy.
