it was so-so only. very boring at the beginning but action packed in the second half. not very fresh though. i can watch LOTRs all over again and get the same entertainment out of it

Yeah but the movie is practically the same thing with LOTR. Starts off at the Hobbit place with Gandalf, got into a journey and most likely gonna end predictably. There is no surprise but still decently entertaining although it's dragged up quite a bit.

The fact that it's gonna be a trilogy is draggy enough hahaha

I heard the book's actually quite short? And it's only ONE book. Why didn't they make LOTR 9 movies then?

Then why isn't one movie enough for this one? Because LOTR is not as epic?

how would i know? you're the one who read the book LOL

The first half. All that talking without thorough explanation. Two of the biggest questions I have is... why can't Gandalf get the birds to fetch them all the way to the destination from the beginning? Why does he use Bilbo's house as meeting point without his consent? He also disappears for no reason and predictably appears at the right time. Why doesn't he use his magic as much as he obviously needed to anyway? Also, what is with the rocks that started fighting each other? Seems like this movie is made purely for the fans of the book. Still good to watch, given that I was ignoring these gaps.

It's draggy even without thorough explanation, that's what I'm complaining. If this movie was made for fans like you only, then they should've said so on their poster and trailers so that people like me would understand and try to enjoy the film without knowing the heck is going on. But no, so I'll just take it as it's not done well enough.

Can somebody explain me . why gandalf didnt follow the hobbit but instead go solo .. i still cannot brain this . cause he said follow to that house later gandalf dont know any shit where the hobbit go

i was just saying to my friend yesterday, "it'd be cool if we can see who the hell is the necromancer..."

I can't remember the exact timeline right now too...
