65% critics on Rotten Tomatoes right now, but 81% for fans. I think fans are going to like it no matter what, just like Justin Beiber could put out an album of mating elephant walruses and teenage girls would eat it up.
The common theme though between the negative and positive reviews is that it is too long and there are too many unecessary scenes. It sounds like they took a book that was supposed to be a short prologue and stretched it out too much to try and recreate the LotR movies.
