re: Screw Rotten Tomatoes overall %, what did the M/TV board think of The Hobbit

The first ten minutes or so, up until the dwarves arrived, was the part I didn't care for the most. I liked the intro but I didnt like old Bilbo narrating it, though I guess he had to though. The saving grace for that was when he said word for word the beginning of the book. I thought that was cool. but in that span Gandalfs character was odd. He was very childish, different from any Gandalf from the LOTR(even in TFOtR) and any of what we saw of him the rest of the movie.

That and how incredibly long the goblin chase was. I don't care for the movie being long, I wouldn't have cared if it was longer, but that needed to be cut down.

Outside of those two things, I really enjoyed the rest of the movie. And they weren't enough to make me have a negative view towards the movie at all.
