You forget one thing. Critics aren't as unbiased as they would like to be. Everybody goes into a movie with ideas of how they would like it to be. With the Hobbit, people draw their expectations not only from the book but also from the previous movies, movies which are for many already becoming pretty nostalgic, and thus some flaws that they had might be getting glossed over. In addition to that, it was hyped up ridiculously. So critics go in with high expectations, which always makes it harder for a movie to meet those expectations. Especially when it is employing a new technique have never dealt with before.

Take for example Madagascar 3. According to Rotten Tomatoes, it has a rating of 78%. Pretty high for a movie that gave us fecking afro circus, right? But it comes all down to the fact that people know what they are getting. The previous movies were a pretty good indication of how the film rolls. We are basically expecting an 80 minute movie that keeps the kids entertained. We are not expecting some huge, world-altering movie. Our expectations are easily met, which leads to favourable results.
