Yeah, the complaints that The Hobbit is a small kids book just proves to me that these people haven't actually read TH in a long time. Yes, it's short, but huge things happen that Tolkien basically just skims by - like the rock giants fight, which was such a cool thing to see up on the screen. There was one review everyone was tearing apart because he whined about all the extra stuff PJ had added in, including Rivendell. He just wanted to stick elves in there! It was just a ploy! And like...duh? They go to Rivendell in the book? Why else do you think Bilbo goes back there in LOTR? So I've just been like "I cannot" over all of it.

I had never seen a movie in 3D before, but we did go for the third time to see it in 3D 48FPS - and it was pretty cool! It took about ten minutes to get used to it, but it did look really pretty. It was not as weird as everyone was saying - just very real, like it was right in front of you. And I don't get the reports that people were throwing up AT ALL. I always have a hard time with movies with a lot of action - I get headaches - and I was completely fine with this. So I would totally recommend it.
