The Hobbit was pretty dire, but mainly due to lack of pace and editing. I had to leave after thirty minutes. Even the lovable Martin Freeman's two-step reaction thing wasn't enough to keep me there. All of the Harry Potters are pretty bad, redeemed only by the older (aka proper) actors. I appreciate that kind of filming is hard on a child actor though as it's all CGI, green screen and reaction shots. Not a fan of CGI generally.
