Loved it, knew no background to the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings, know more now though! Great film and story, the HFR 3D was excellent quality, really clear, worth the extra I'd say.........

this film is a must see, if you haven't seen it go now.

Saw this in 2D and glad that I did, based on several poor reviews here that focused upon the high frame rate and 3D experience as being major drawback and not adding a lot to the film for some. Its not too long, the time soon rushes by! Those that gave it 1 star may have preferred 2D. Sound was very muted at my cinema - had to strain to hear Gandalf and the Riddles in the Dark weren't clear. Radagast the Brown was taken from either the Silmarillion or other background lore, but that's why these are 3 films, not just the screening of the book. Jackson is trying to give more detail to Middle Earth, and put in things that were left out of LOTR. The Trolls scene didn't work and the book is better. They'd have smashed the dwarves to a pulp! It should have highlighted Bilbo's first forays into being the thief/pickpocket/burglar he'd been hired as, pinching (as in book) the key for the Troll's door. If the trolls lived in a cave that was lit by daylight, they would have been turned to stone then! Anyway, I'd see it again certainly!!
