[Quiet Man Cometh]

Other way around for me. Liked LOTR, didn't like The Hobbit, minus the Smaug part. The character portrayals didn't hold much attraction for me, much of the writing was blah, it really felt more like the Hobbit was a second attempt at Lord of the Rings rather than it's own film. It ended pretty much where I expected it to for a three movie approach, so I have no qualms about that.

I probably would have enjoyed the movie more if I hadn't already seen LOTR several times, since a lot of it felt like rehashed material.
