Let me start by saying what a huge fan I am of LOTR, so of course was so excited that the hobbit was being made! Unfortunately, I watched it in IMAX 3D and was very very disappointed, especially after watching the trailer which looked so good!! It was like watching a cheap cartoon and felt so false - not like the LOTR trilogy, which was just epic. The hobbit was also slow and stretched at times. I really hope the other 2 films are not as stretched as this one, otherwise I'll be waiting to watch them on DVD. The acting was excellent though and the funny one liners were brilliant. I'm sure I would have loved the film if it wasn't in 3D and shot in HD / extra frames per second! Shame it wasn't done the same way as the LOTR trilogy.
