Love it. I can't wait. The books are even better then the movies.
I think the first movie was better, but the next two books were better. I'm just ticked they took out Tom Bombadil. They better leave in Beorn. Also I'm not sold yet on their portrayal of Thorin, but I'll try to stay open minded on that. I wonder if we will ever see a female dwarf. Also I'm not cool with inserting stuff that didn't happen, like a Gandalf/elf love in.
Although I can't complain with the inserted plot line of the elves showing up to help at that fortress in the 2nd movie.
