Read the book.
I love the books and was a big fan of the original movies. I had set my expectations pretty low for the Hobbit. Sadly I didn't set my expectations low enough and was still disappointed. This is supposed to be the story of a home loving Hobbit who goes on an adventure with some bumbling Dwarfs. This was Bilbo's story and he come how got lost in the shuffle.
Things I hate about this movie:
The Rabbit sled
The Albino Orc and all related subplots (35% or more of the movie.)
The butchering of the scene with the trolls.
The inept adaptation of the Goblin sequence.
The fact that they didn't sing 15 birds in 5 fir trees and replaced it with a stupid fight sequence.
The fact that they could have done the book in one very good movie if Peter Jackson wasn't out to make Tolkien into his cash cow.
