I went to the midnight showing in 3D woke up and then went to the 2D the same morning. This is certainly a pleaser for those already fans of Tolkien and Jackson's LOTR films but for newcomers I felt it may not be the best introduction. The start of the movie brings a familiarity aimed to those established fans and the showing of Erebor in it's prime was fantastic. The pacing at the start sat well with me and I found myself wishing some aspects of it were longer but I think newcomers would have found it to be too drawn out. The addition of things Tolkien wrote of happening after the book was superb but I found some of the movie additions and changes to be not so enjoyable. I especially found myself wanting the parts from Goblin-town on to be more like the book ,even with the pale orc leader added the end of the movie could held more truely to the book. Overall the movie was incredible and I was happy to watch it twice and will most likely see it in theaters again.
