i liked it.
i havnt read the hobbit in 10+ years (probably more like 15-20...) so the differences from that didnt bother me at all - indeed, i wouldnt have noticed them if the gf wasn't pointing them out
i did feel some bits were just... unneeded. the stone giants, while cool, have no real place there. they dont do anything for the overall story, and they're never (As far as i recall at least) mentioned again. all of the underground goblin stuff wasnt really necessary, but i suppose there needed to be something for everyone else to be doing while bilbo was off stealing jewellery from an old man.
the HFR stuff was weird. mostly it was fine, and i really liked the effect in some places (being able to see sparks properly for example, rather than just as a blur.), but for some reason it made some of the walking and riding bits look like they were being played in fast forward - and i dont quite know why it does that. i assume my eyes are trying to sort out the faster framerate for me, and getting a bit confused.
oh yes, and Martin Freeman = much better hobbit than elijah wood.
