I could not disagree more, i read the book and I believe they are doing a great job with the details and the adaptations to bring the story to life. I enjoyed it very much.
Then you didn't read the Hobbit.
The only similarity between this movie and the book were a hobbit and dwarves and a dragon. And maybe a couple of lines.
UJ was MUCH closer to the book. I hope Jackson reins it in for the third because Desolation, while barely even a good movie, was an abortion of a "Hobbit" movie.

Glad to see someone else isn't drinking the Jackson Kool-Aid.

Peter Jackson also has a thing for filming bridges. Good lord there are bridges to film EVERYWHERE in middle earth.
I wish I was dedicated enough on this point to make a video complication of bridges in the LOTR movies. Would make a movie unto itself.

Well said. What a disappointing movie after all the positive reviews. Yet another pretty computer generated action movie. The world is not short of those. The irony is the story line of the greed of the dwarves bringing them down and watching Smaug drowning in gold (temporarily). And then thinking about Peter Jackson milking Tolkien's The Hobbit into a contrived trilogy. Awesome.
Sorry to the rest of you but this was not a good movie for anyone who has an understanding of Tolkien's books. And it's really not very good on any terms.
