The bar is set so low that I believe it can now be referred to as an underground cable.

Ah ha ha ha!
The trickle of released reviews has now become a
flood.
Just browsing the leading lines from the reviews I'm guessing the film has pacing problems (whodathunk) because it is something alluded to repeatedly even by the critics giving a positive review.
The guy from Newsday who said the romance was a welcome addition infuriates me. I suppose he is entitled to his opinion, but that doesn't make it a good one.
I'm also becoming wary of these repeated references in reviews to Thranduil being "campy." What
did Jackson do to the Elvenking's protrayal?
Oh yes...and...from the
Time review...

this second of three film adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1937 novel The Hobbit will be livelier, ruder and less slavishly faithful to its source than last year’s initial episode, An Unexpected Journey

SLAVISHLY FAITHFUL TO ITS SOURCE?!!!! 
We need to start a petition drive to get this man fired
AT ONCE! Either that or force him to watch a movie adaptation that actually is slavishly faithful to its source...in the hope that it might make his head explode.
