I was very pleasantly surprised. as no big fan of PJ's TT and RotK, I was really delighted by the movie, even the over the top radagast bits were ok.

I felt he did very little of the whole sale alterations of the story and opted to elaborate both from within M-E via the numerous UT borrowings, and in the extra plotline of the pale orc on the white warg.

Thorin seemed more like a Man than a dwarf...but it, was for me a very entertaining treat.

If only he had warmed up with TH and then done LotR...
