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.

well if you look at it, the hobbit is one book that is 310 pages long that they are making into 3 movies (which are all probably 3 hours long)
each lord of the ring books were 531, 416, and 624 pages long and each had their own movie, not 3 movies for 1 book. Each of those movies were 3 hours long
Not saying that it shouldn't be 3 movies (which it probably shouldn't going by LOTR, but I haven't read the books) but from what I heard from the people I did go to the movie with that did read the book is that it did have some stuff not in the book.
At times I felt it was a bit slow paced and could of potentially done without some scenes. It kind of seemed like they were doing a lot of setup for the following movies.
