to be honest: i thought the movie was really boring... ok, yes, it was part 1 of 3. but if that means that there has to be a 3 hour movie in which nothing happens at all... then i have to disagree with splitting it up this much.

It's not an opinion. There are plenty of factual reasons why one is superior to another. Subjectivity is only a little bit of the answer.

Let's hear some examples of factual reasons why one movie is superior to another.

The wider array of technique used, their adequation with the motivation of the directors, the subject of the movie and how it was treated, the influence and impact of the work in subsequent movies etc etc.
It's not because people on tl keep it to "I liked it because I thought the story was cool" that that's all their is to movie making.
Finally, I'm pretty sure it's not the place to argue in favor or aginst"post-modernist" bullshit. So I'll call off the arguments here, unless I go watch The Hobbit I guess.

Just saw the movie. Didn't really enjoy it.

1) it was too long.

2) in a lot of the fight scenes camera was moving around way too fast and I couldn't tell what was going on

3) the first time goblin king opened his mouth and spoke in perfect English was really weird

4) troll scene felt retarded, so was the stone giants one

5) the whole movie felt really disconnected, there was no flow to it,

If you havent read the book i would definitely recommend the movie. Was really entertaining although a bit predictable at some points.

I liked it, felt like a really good children's story that could also be very entertaining for adults (and I guess that's what the book is). I can also really tell it goes much further into detail than the LotR movies did, which is very immersive.

Not if you were a fan of the source material, it was set up very much true to the original. The Hobbit on the other hand could probably be done by now. Of course, Jackson could expand on the story in a great way (which'd be really hard however, ask Lucas how well those kind of things work out), but right now that's really neither here nor there. Here's to hoping though.

1st part of LotR is the best I think, 2nd is decent but just one big battle and 3rd one is a bunch of crap that should have lasted one hour shorter. Kind of what I expected though considering the book is boring towards the end too.

Agreed. Fellowship of the Ring is by far the best Tolkien movie. The Hobbit movie struggles because it tries to mimic it, but fails short because there is much less at stake here.

The Hobbit would be much better if they actually stayed true to the book, and wasn't too obsessed with making sense in the LOTR universe PJ created. The movie should have been from Bilbo's perspective at all times, because The Hobbit is about The Hobbit.

It would also have been better if they removed all those "cheap thrills" scenes.

Watched it yesterday, good movie overall but i was still disappointed cause it doesnt come close the Lord of the Rings.
1) It was to long. The book has 300-400 pages and gets splitted into 3 movies with 170 min length. Feels way to streched sometimes.
2) Its to silly and childish. I know that The Hobbit is somewhat for children but the movie goes to far sometimes. I dont remember the orcs being that silly in the book and I also dont remember that their leader is a fat jabba the hutt troll with double chin. The orcs are not menacing and evil like in LotR. They are cutified and u almost feel sorry for them lol.
Respect my authoritah!!

It's good, but way too damn long. I'll probably watch the next two parts, but... so far I'm not really a fan.

I really liked the movie because it was different from lotr but you really felt like you are in middle earth again...
Peter Jackson made a really good job creating the story, it was different from the book because he could not created the evil Orc boss without telling the storys of the dwarves how they found their new home the blue mountains etc etc... The only thing what felt really weird were the stone giants and the very long beginning in the shire think 45minutes but it was nearly the same in lotr.
It was also a whole lot action for only the first part of the movie much more then u would think.
I really dont understand why many people didnt liked the movie because it was more funny and had more action then the FIRST part of lotr. The story was also really nice and ian mckellen und martin freeman played so good!

I'm glad I don't have such high standards to movies as most of you guys here. I enjoyed the heck out of it. I don't care how true it was to the book at all, and the fact there's going to be more middle earth to me shown, it's amazing.
