Edit: Yep, it got deleted. Sigh.
At any rate, I'll be seeing it in 24fps for that classic movie experience.

Peter Jackson is not the type to do that just because he wants money; he'll do it because he genuinely feels that he needs to do it to do justice to his source material.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy was incredibly well done, and I trust Jackson and his crew to do an AMAZING job with the Hobbit.

This is a lot more action-movie than the book, some of it for the better and some of it just making the story drag a bit. Since it's an adventure movie, there *has* to be a main baddie (not in the book, somewhat disappointed by the need to do this), but at the same time the character development is far greater than in the book. It's pretty obvious that Hobbit was written for kids and as such isn't that involved and is pretty lighthearted. The movie made some scenes a lot darker... and in some cases, brought out detail that would probably have been in the books had Tolkien been writing it for adults. I often forget that the devil is in the details, and there's a lot of detail brought out from the appendices that is pretty brutal when you actually see it on film.
I'm overall pretty happy with it. I think that the changes made aren't better or worse than the books - just different. And for the most part, what was added is right in line with Tolkien's works. And a good deal was straight from the appendices, so that's fine, too. I still have NO clue how they're going to stretch this into 3 movies, though... I mean, right where this ended was pretty solidly at the halfway point of the book.
Also, Martin Freeman *makes* Bilbo Baggins. It's fabulous.
