Movie was great, if you're a purist, maybe not so.
Lots of embellishments and added scenes that weren't pictured in the original book. I do have to say that they brought in a LOT of lore from other works of Tolkien like the Silmarillion and Book of Lost Tales. Radagast was awesome I am so glad they brought him in as I felt like wizardry (the Istari) were left out too much in the original books. Glad to see they brought him in and they even mentioned the two blue wizards lost at sea.
My wife - who HATED the original LOTR movie trilogy, went with me and loved it. She has even agreed to re-watch LOTR
