I saw it, it was pretty good.
Definitely has a different tone than the LotR movies did, quite a few more humorous moments and generally more light-hearted. Which, if you’ve read The Hobbit, you’d know is perfectly okay, but if you’re only a fan of the LotR movies you may be disappointed.
It’s more action-y than the book, I will say that. I guess this is because a straight retelling of the book would be rather slow and dull without jazzing it up a bit, but it didn’t quite sit right with me.
I do like how meticulous they’re being though – because they’ve got three movies for a fairly short book, they get to spend a lot more time fleshing everything out and not cutting things for time.
