Looking over the reviews again, and it really seems like it's a film for fans... and I can respect that. I mean, I like the Star Trek world and enjoy the movies even if from a critical point of view, most are crap. A lot of reputable film critics are giving The Hobbit subpar reviews, not that it matters as the film probably wasn't made to please critics.
I personally couldn't get into the first films, although I typically like fantasy. I watched the first one and it seemed like there was a lot of build up but nothing much happened. I can't even remember the following 2. I don't think I saw them, but my wife is pretty sure that I did. I borrowed the DVDs from a friend though as I want to give it another spin. I am thinking that maybe I was pre-occupied the first time I saw them.
