Some scenes may have been drawn out, but when projecting the depth of Tolkien’s tales onto screen, it is bound to happen.
As for the overall quality of The Hobbit in the Lord of the Rings lineup, it fits right in- even filling in some back story gaps along the way. Perhaps, with this insight, even those who were disappointed in the first Hobbit movie could manage to look forward to seeing the finish of the journey to Lonely Mountain.
I, personally, would love to see a version of this movie where the characters were not walking or talking, and still somehow managed to complete their quest. Now THAT would be an interesting, (albeit inaccurate to the book), rendition.
