[QUOTE="RedDragon7, post: 5977776]Sometimes the movies we expect or hope to be great don't turn out to be. Personally, I agree with RT generally. Not always but a good amount of the time.[/QUOTE]
That might be the truth for you and RT, but a lot of people really enjoyed the movie.
Personally, I'm somewhere in between RT (65%) and IMDB (8.4). After three viewings, I've settled on a 7.5/10. Definitely not a great film IMO, as there are too many flaws. But it's a very fun movie nonetheless.
And yes, I saw it three times lol. First with my brothers, second with my girlfriend, and third with my friends.

I liked the movie too, dare I say more than LotR? It was slower paced and relaxing. Which is natural considering size of the book. Also Martin Freeman is fantastic as Bilbo.
3D wasn't pushed too far and felt smoother with 48fps.
Some parts felt a bit "amateurish" at the faster framerate but I blame Hollywood for that. I can imagine lower budget films based on our usual everyday scenario will struggle to give the big budget feeling of the old.
Overall it was a great experience and can't wait for the next one in HFR 3D.

[QUOTE="Gantz, post: 5990458]How did the 48f look? Heard it makes the sets look like sets

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.

I pick up on the technical aspects.
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.
