I saw the film on the first day that it came out and I couldn’t be more pleased. I completely approve of the writing and visual choices. Mostly, the way things were represented didn't clash with the way I imagined them, but rather complemented a bit and that was the best part. The pieces of information included from the appendices were carefully chosen and completed the story. I particularly loved the introduction about Erebor.I also like the introduction to the characters. I suppose there will be more Thorin - Bilbo exchange in the latter parts, but the relationship has already been outlined in the right direction. There could have been more scenes and more bits with the dwarves - they didn't get much dialogue in this part! The ones that stood out were of course Balin and Bofur, and Bombur’s crazy funny look. Felt like Martin Freeman is painfully reluctant (so Bilbo!).Really frustrated that I cannot see the rest immediately. Fun bit I loved was Saruman referencing Radagast’s “mushroom consumption” - a great one liner!
