hee hee ... I'm so glad you liked it! I love reading reviews, but yes, if I see an "F" review, I'll make a beeline for it, because they're usually hilarious! It really IS the consolation for bad movies.
Aw, disappointing. I didn't see the first Hobbit movie because I'm annoyed at how much Jackson is changing the book, and it looks like that may have been a good decision.
I need to see a non-shitty copy of it before I can properly articulate myself, but I was pretty into it. I'll do a post thing eventually, I hope.
The one thing that bugs me in movies is unrealistic action - people flying through the air and falling a billion feet and bouncing around and dangling off of things just takes me out of the story, because hello, they're not Superman. It bothered me in Iron Man 3 a lot, too.
So yeah, that's the one annoyance I can name - the tree-branch-leapy, wheel-barrow-ridey stuff. I can sort of hand-wave it for the elves, but deffo not for the dwarves, lol.
But I'm happy to say I quite liked the rest of it. I suppose this largely comes down to the fact that they could make a 6-hour movie about proper Hobbit foot rot care, and I would still watch it repeatedly while crying, lol.
hee ... maybe that's part of it, because I'm not the biggest Tolkien fan ... although my friend I went with IS, and even she didn't like it. :-]

EXACTLY.
It may also have to do with the fact that I saw it in opposite circumstances from yours--on the biggest screen in town in 3-D at head-exploding volume, which surely contributed a lot to the exhaustion factor.
That's funny--it didn't bother me in Iron Man, actually; I expect that in superhero movies, I suppose, even when the superhero is 100% human. Plus, I felt like the action was less repetitive there.
Do a post thing! I'd like to see the other perspective.
(AND I'M GLAD TO HAVE FOUND A KINDRED IN OUR FEELINGS ABOUT THE PORTRAYAL OF KATNISS, TOO!)
