Thankfully the sets are so well crafted that that isn't really a problem, but other things can be noticeable. Some say the visual effects doesn't hold up as well or wardrobe or beards look fake.

My main issues were the lighting and movements, everything is much faster.

After watching it a few weeks back, I found that was really only the case when you were actually looking for what is wrong. Just sitting back taking everything in the first time, I didn't find anything stand out that bad to make it unbearable or anything. It flowed well for me.

The only thing that stuck out to me like a sore thumb was all the horse scenes..the stunt doubles were horribly obvious, especially for Bilbo.

For me, this is my craft. I pick up on the technical aspects.

I try and pay less attention when there's obvious stunt double scenes. <.<

I saw it with a normal FPS and in 3D. The movie itself was different from LoTR, very upbeat for the most part (I'm sure the book is too) and I felt it was a great start to the trilogy (although I don't think it needed to be a trilogy). I think the CGI was very well done, as well as the 3D.

I recently watched LotR extended trilogy on bluray, and the tv I saw it on ran at a very high fps. I'm assuming it causes the same effect as Hobbit in 48 fps because at first it looked very strange and made the cgi/live action look less impressive. However I did get used to it and flashback scenes (like the battle at the beginning of fellowship) looked much better once I was used to the frame rate.

Those TVs run at a higher frequency, not framerate. The effect is similar-looking, though.
