Martipa (who does not like a lot of 3D) & I watched in the standard 3D format as this is all we get at our local Cineworld. Brilliant film, 3D used appropriately and the story flows brilliantly. So much so that even after 3 hours I would quite happily stayed and watched the next film. Son has seen it twice and he and my daughter are off to see it again on Wednesday.

Definitely does not feel stretched or padded, one particular significant section of the book even seemed shortened for the film. For me it felt like lessons learned in LOTR have been put to very good use in the Hobbit An Unexpected Journey. The pacing, characterisation and CGI work is cohesive, with Martin Freeman playing the younger Bilbo very well indeed.

Best film I have seen for a long time and I prefer this to LOTR.
