I liked the singing.
I think Bilbo is going to turn out alright.
Aside from some bothersome beardlessness and the glaringly fake ears the dwarves look more or less ok. Kiligolas is the worst offender on the beardless front in my opinion. He doesn't even have a beard at all, just stubble.
Is it my imagination but does Thorin's nose change size..? When he's shown starting the song it looks all big but later when he's whispering to Gandalf it looks normal sized again.
Evidently we are also going to get a fight with the trolls rather than what is described in the book (what a surprise).
I originally thought the shots of Gandalf by himself in the ruin were of him exploring Dul Guldur, but I have changed my mind and think it is just some random ruin.
We are also apparently going to have to deal with some typical elven egotism when the dwarves arrive at Rivendell (if that is indeed what that ridiculous scene with the elves on horses riding around the dwarves was).

That kinda creeped me out. I don't think many people picked that the silly and uncalled for romance in
The Hobbit would be between Galadriel and Gandalf...but it suddenly looks that's the way it will go.
[EDIT] Apparently I'm not the only one bothered by the prospect of Galadriel and Gandalf bumping uglies.
