Took my 12 year old daughter (kicking and screaming) to see the Hobbit. After reading the panned reviews, I was pleasantly surprised. Much more emphasis was given to the ties to LOTR than was in the original book, but I felt it worked. The addition of a blood fued between Thorin Oakenshield and the big bad Orc Chief was an obvious directors license but again the plot device worked.
Still don't see how they can make three full fledged feature length movies out of it but the pace was OK for the first installment.
