The Hobbit was fantastic. However, while it was a great movie, it does an absolutely terrible job at being a film. It sets up multiple thematic arcs during exposition sequences early on, and resolves them essentially instantaneously at the end without any actual development (restating the original "theme" does not count as "development"). Additionally, every single conflict was resolved by some convenient outside force, rather than the characters who were actually in trouble.
Thought it was great, but it wasn't a very good example of filmmaking excellence.
