It would have made a really nice two-hour movie. Are we being set up for the video games, where you get points for bouncing off more levels of the Definitely Not A Fantasy Version of an Exploding Bond Villain Set?

I also really loved the scene between Bilbo and Gollum, although I was pissed at the whole homily thing about how swords are important for whom you don't slay with them.

Did you like Radagast? He annoyed the crud out of me with his twittering, which seemed to not really go with his status as a Great Wizard. (And the references to him during the Meeting At Lothlorien. Grr.)

In some ways, I think the movie suffered from being a prequel rather than the first of a series. Particularly Lothlorien/Rivendell seemed wrong to me -- Although I can see the justification for rendering the place along Crouching Tiger lines in LOTR, in the Hobbit it was plain old Rivendell, and my impression was that the elves were much more celtic/saxon, at least in Bilbo's understanding. Anybody else?
