Keep in mind that I REALLY wanted to like this film.
Not a super fan, but the books are my all time favorite.
The first LOTR movie moved me to tears by staying true to the book.
I would wager that at least half of this movie was either rewritten, not for time, but just to change it, or was not actually in the book at all.
EFF that.
If you never read the books, then The Hobbit is an absolutely action packed special effects oriented sci-fi train wreck.
I should have been worried by the ads before it. 6 out of 7 of the previews were Syfi channel special effects aliens meet Will smith or Robot Jox or the maker of *retch* twilight's new gem (about aliens that take over human bodies and the love between a ****** and his alien infected girl)
I was seriously sitting there scoffing at the ads, saying to myself "The people here want to see a great piece of literature made visual, and they are showing us the equivelant of Starship Troopers ads"...... Unfortunately, maybe they weren't that far off.
Will NOT see the 2nd half in the theatre.
