I've read The Hobbit and the Trilogy of the Lord of The Rings quite a few times, and where the Trilogy movies were adhered to quite well, and succinctly, I found this installment of the Hobbit (1 of 3 for goodness sakes) to be a decent walk-through (or should I say "RUUUUUN" which is quite a bit of what they did...) of the main thrust of the book but with a WHOLE LOT OF Added Information (which knowing the storyline, the lore of Tolkien, etc., looks more to me like trying to stretch the profit margin) that doesn't necessarily ADD to the story line... Knowing that Jackson is a crazed fan though might also be his desire to bring out all the rich detail that supports all of the assumptions taken in the remainder of the Trilogy... We now know WHY/HOW some of the things are that came to pass... It WAS a Good Movie, It would have been an Excellent 4-hour one-shot Movie in kind with the rest of everything... TWO Movies even, But THREE??? It will make a decent although stretched out trilogy in its own right, but I feel that's a bit much... a full 30 - 45 minutes dedicated to the opening part with the Dwarves coming for dinner was JUST a WASTE of time... That time suck certainly could have lead to my distaste for the rest of the balance of time that the movie took... The trolls soon to be turned to stone was even drawn out quite a bit... I was left disappointed... I can see now though where the rest of the movie is going and fear where they'll add more "fluffery"... Will I watch every dang minute of it all though? Of course I will... I'm a Ringer... ~Just Sayin'
Cons slow
Yes, I recommend this movie.

At least the graphics and technology seemed finally up to speed and quite good with this one... The whole series was an interesting development in this way getting better and better with WHAT you were seeing and hearing... As for the movie line, it progressed fairly well with the book and was a decent storyline altogether...
Yes, I recommend this movie.
