I read the book lots as most people have, and I re read the chapters each movie was based on before it happened. There was definitely a large disconnect. I felt Freeman was the only part of the movie that felt authentic.

You mean the 150ft tall dwarf king statue made of pure solid gold melted down in an instant and gilding Smaug wasn't awesome to you?
I was beyond shocked and appalled at all the liberties that Jackson took that I was past the point of walking out of the theater. I wanted to stay and watch to see what other fantastical bull#### he could come up with. He did not disappoint in that regard. The movies were all truly terrible, with the first one being passable.
