My initial impression is that the story in the film is being stretched out to fit 3 movies. At some points I thought it moved slow because of that. If you want to live in the story, it's great because the sets/scenery/costuming are amazing. I was a little uncomfortable with the scene in Rivendell with Saurman, Gandalf, Galadriel and Elrond - presumably 'The White Council.' Galadriel kept circling. It seems that Jackson & crew really had to write dialog for that scene - I wish JRR Tolkien would have written more there. I really liked how the arkenstone was represented - almost looked prettier than I'd imagined. As far as the music score goes, I though Howard Shore re-used too many of the original themes without enough variation. Still beautiful, but I almost felt like I was just hearing LOTR again.I will definitely need to see it again. I could tell there was alot going on that I was missing. I want to see it in some form of 3D next. It is as the commercial says. "EPIC."
