It's an amazing movie, why do people hate it? Also, people shouldn't have expected a LOTR style movie. The Hobbit is lighthearted, having it serious wouldn't be true to the book.

Probably because they set their expectations REALLY high.

The only people I've ever seen that haven't liked it are the critics.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as well.

I thought the gollum/smeagol scene was magnificent.

  • 12.22.2012 10:06 PM PDT

I really thought it was amazing, too. It kept very close to the book, which impressed me very much. The two things that did disappoint me was that Gandalf didn't make the trolls argue, and Gollum didn't go look for his "birthday present" on his island. But those are minor things.

This seems to be the attitude that a lot of younger movie watchers have today...quite sad.

I don't need no stinking signature!

The only part that bugged me was the part with the goblin king. That whole sequence was just dumb.

I'm still really hyped for the necromancer (witch king, right?), and the pale orc backstory they added was really well implemented.

The necromancr is actually Sauron.

I'm going to see The Hobbit in a few days, I'm actually extremely excited. Looks like a great movie.

Oh. They think it's the WitchKing but it's really Sauron?

Ok I don't like using a phone to type...

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

I think the hate is mostly for 48FPS. It's sort of a miraculous movie, it's got huge problems and yet it was great anyhow.

I know, right?
Jay acts like she's better than everyone else simply because she's a chick.
I hope she chokes to death.

"Lighthearted" isn't quite the right word. The storytelling style is more intimate and personal, more like a story being told by the fire than an epic saga. The content itself is a little lighter in tone, but only on the surface - after all, a lot of what happens in The Hobbit sets the scene for the events of LotR.

Anyway, the movie was fantastic. Can't wait to see the next one.

64th last player to play Halo 2 online.

I enjoyed it enough to go see it again 2 days later. I found it very accurate. It was really enjoyable, at least in my opinion. I guess some people can't focus on movies for that length of time though. Haha
