These scenes are done pretty well. I don't mind the gentle poking fun at the Shire-hobbits; after all, in movies like these, you'll take humor pretty much wherever you can get it.
Howard Shore's "Concerning Hobbits" is absolutely beautiful and really captures the essence of the Shire. One of my favorite score tracks.
Ian and Ian simply are Gandalf and Bilbo. They are the bright spot in what is (in my mind) an otherwise subpar first half of the movie. (To me, the movie doesn't really begin to get good till the Company leaves Rivendell.) They play off of each other so well, and, well, like I said, they simply are Gandalf and Bilbo. I think all of the casting for the films was brilliantly done, but these are two of THE best.
