I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. A lot of the disappointment some people have (those who don't think it's a Harry Potter ripoff) is the lack of "new and shiny". This is a world we have been to before, and Peter Jackson isn't trying to awe us with bigger, flashier effects work, he's using the same techniques that worked in the LOTR trilogy. (While writing this I flashed to The Hobbit as done by Michael Bay, exploding wargs EVERYWHERE!)

I can understand some complaints, (yes Radaghast was disgusting looking, maybe GDT's influence) and there was a lot of running away going on. (My comment to a friend who I watched it with, "Gandolf the Grey's Fatburner plan! RUN! RUN! RUN!) but I left the movie looking forward to the next one.

And the cast was was great. Martin Freeman made an excellent Bilbo, and Richard Armitage was a Thorin Oakenshield who was an extremely credible leader. Yes, there were a number of dwarves who were more or less there to fill the space specified in the story, but with such a large cast, there were going to be some who got more focus than others.

BTW, I saw it in 24fps 2d. But from the comments, I might try out the high rate 3d at the nearby IMAX.

Wow...see, I always interpreted Frodo and Sam as just fiercely dedicated...and especially since Frodo really never ever seems to reciprocate on any of Sam's gushiness...so I always kinda looked at that like Sam idolized Frodo.

then Merry and Pippin come along and stare deeply into one another's eyes and speak of finding each other and how they are going to look after each other and stroke each other's hair...i could see that one as the more romantic relationship.

In a perfect world it'd be completely fine if they were homosexual. But in that perfect world the comments they make back and forth would still be all sorts of cheesy and uber mushy.
