I'll be honest and say I was geeking at the 3d but the story fell at bit flat, there wasn't enough character development and didn't quite feel really attached to anyone. Yes, I know that is a ton of content to represent in 2 hours. It is a delicate balance between 3d geeking and good character development. LOTR did a good job at that balance but even then some of the movies were short in that catagory. I will say that Bilbo actor did a great job, well cast for the Watson of Sherlock Holmes fame.

I am being hyper critical and "all in all" I enjoyed the movie.

Comitted to excellence through art.
