To be precise, what we saw is titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and as everyone knows by now (except, apparently, my kids) is the first of three movies made up out of the book "The Hobbit," various published and unpublished Tolkein materials related to the story and characters of the book, and Peter Jackson's fevered imagination.
I went in with very low expectations (2D, traditional 24 fps) and was pleasantly surprised. If you like Jackson's previous work - particularly his LotR movies - and/or The Hobbit book then you should see this movie. I'm a little more iffy on its appeal to non-fen but I doubt many of those read my LJ.
( Still, I cut in case of spoiler issues )
