Just caught the midnight showing of The Hobbit... HATED IT!
Why? I've read the book a few times and loved every word that Tolkien wrote. What Peter Jackson did was rape that book thoroughly. The movie does have it's moments, "Riddles in the Dark" being the best moment in the movie by far... The rest is Jackson becoming the slave to Hollywood action. He also tried too damned hard to tie in to TLOTR trilogy. Just very dissappointed with Jackson's latest offering.
I'll give you this, Jackson is one hell of a moviemaker but he should have left the storytelling to the true master, JRR Tolkien.
A big double thumbs down from me.
