Things I loved:* Connections to the Trilogy (and all role reprisals)* Martin Freeman as Bilbo* Dol Goldur* Riddles in the Dark * Attention to Tolkien detail. I like that the screenplay includes references to other lands, times and events by their Tolkien name. And just like Tolkien, they are just mentions and we don't hear anything else about them (for now at least)* 3D 48fps I thought this format was very intriguing! The movie felt very "present" because of the clarity and I found myself far more immersed in the story. I'm very glad I got to see it first in this format and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to see the 2D version and compare!* The last frame before the credits. Perfect ending for Part 1!* That I correctly guessed where this film's story ended in relation to the book. Yea me!* That the movie takes its time telling the story. Why would we want to hurry through something so great? * The additional material selected by the screenwriters from book canon sources inventively used to propel the narrative forward.* Bilbo's perspective with the ring on. Very cool. We'll get to see a lot more of that!
