Well, I don't know about more coherent, but I've can definitely say some stuff. ;) (Oh, I'm the second anon -- so I guess the first ayrt?)

I do like Peter Jackson (though I think he needs a good editor sometimes), but in this case, I thought he got most everything wrong. The slo-mo hero-walks of Thorin (which happened far too often, to the point they almost became parody) put him in a place that he wasn't at the beginning of the story. The gross-out humor was completely different from the actual humor of the Hobbit. (And again, there was far too much of it.) The danger levels were weird in that impossible falls were survived, but knives could kill you. Like they couldn't decide between a silly kids movie or a more grounded film.

And the tone was completely and totally off. This is supposed to be Middle Earth in its Summer, with the elves very much there and not thinking of leaving, and life, while not utopian perfect, mainly good. Which is different from the LotR's series -- but I don't think Jackson got that. Which means we missed out on things like talking animals and so, so, so importantly -- the elves being merry and mischievous and coming up with silly songs to mock their guests with. Instead they had all the serious gloom of the original trilogy. Which made me sad and a little pissed off.

(I did really, really like the scene with Gollum, though. That was pretty awesome.)
