I really truly believe that had they made two movies instead of three they would've been praised by critics and fans alike. Nearly every problem in this trilogy stems from the fact that it's one movie too long. Also, there IS a tremendous movie in there somewhere. There are lots of gems throughout like Riddles in the Dark and Bilbo's meeting with Smaug. Basically everything from the book was good and most of what was added wasn't.

It would've never compared to LotR though. The books are too different. LotR is well written fantasy fiction while The Hobbit is a relatively simplistic children's story.

I agree, there are a lot of great scenes, and that if it was edited down, you would probably to be able to get an exceptionally good film. And I mean you need to take an hour out of it at least.

Another thing is cutting back on the silliness of the action scenes. They're all slapstick and it's annoying as shit to watch them.
