I didn't feel the same connection to the Dwarves that I did to the Fellowship from the first three movies. Perhaps because there were so many and didn't get a lot of screen time individually. Hopefully they get fleshed out a bit in the next two movies so we can see more of their personalities.
I've never understood the desire to pick apart movies for their plot holes/inconsistencies. I much prefer to sit back and be entertained for a couple hours. Especially in a movie like this. If there are plot holes in the movie, it's likely they are in the book as well.

I completely agree, many of my friends saw it in the theater and didn't like it so i wasn't expecting much. I feel the only real flaw was how the movie basically started twice, first with the back story and having a voice over "explain" everything to us. I believe that resulted in the audience not having much connection to the stories main characters.
I've never read the books but the movie was missing that scene in the first Rings movie when all four hobbits where hiding under a fallen tree log from that Ringwraith, the music playing loudly, the insects coming out of everywhere, the scared sh*tless looks on all of their faces, you truly felt for the hobbits then and that help connect us to them. I'm hopefully Jackson can establish it in the second movie but still on a whole, i enjoyed The Hobbit and thought it was a lot of fun while it looked spectacular on my TV
