A bit disappointing, IMDb rating is useless nowadays

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2012)

I read both the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and the Hobbit. As many others have mentioned, the Hobbit is a pocket, maybe 1 tenth of the number of pages compared to the LOTR trilogy. So I feared the story would be weak, but watched it anyway, as IMDb viewers gave it a big 8. In the past that meant it should be a good movie, but nowadays it doesn't mean anything anymore. People in the cinema started talking to each other, not paying attention anymore, and although impolite, I don't blame them. The movie was boring. Mr Jackson should have made just one Hobbit movie. That would have been great, but not 3 times an almost 3 hour movie.
Some of the 3D effects were nice, but some were also disturbing, for example, you see some guy sitting on a horse from close by, but you see half a horse coming out of the screen. The only good 3D movie i saw was avatar, and I'm afraid it will be one of the few.
It's good that IMDb now have a critics review, I should have looked at that, and skip paying for seeing this movie in the cinema.
