Unless your a fan of the books - this is not worth 3 hours

Rating: 2/10 (5 January 2013)

If you are not a die hard fan of the books, this movie has absolutely nothing in it, worth spending 3 hours in a cinema. If you're curious, wait till the DVD comes out, and spend it on the couch, where the pause and scroll buttons are readily available.
Its pretty much a copy of The Lord of the Rings - just a little bit longer - but it feels SO much longer. The jokes are tame and the singing inserts just a little bit weird.
Saw it in HFR 3D which just adds some sort of glossy picturesque to the Hobbit Universe.
I am sure, lots of folks think this is a masterpiece - peace on to you. I am not a fan.
