Do you really think the design for example laketown or Thranduils Halls is bad?
If it's one thing the movies really deliver.. it's the visuals.
Perhaps one exception: Azog, but that was because he was added too late.
Just think of a Smaug at Gollum-level CGI-wise.
Also, the actors still are awesome: Lee Pace just nails absolutely every line he got.

One can of course argue about the OTT Action sequences and deviations from the book, those really are unnecessary and bad as in AUJ. But there are still things to look forward to.
And also you must remember those parts with the elves won't be the whole movie. We still just have a glimpse of Beorn, the Spiders, Laketown etc.
Sure, the set design is pretty good and the acting– the very little you see of it– doesn’t look too bad (though I’d call it “workmanlike” rather than ”awesome”). So, if you want people to mention the positives– fine, there they are.

But for the rest– well, come on, look at your own comments: “the CGI is good, it’s just not touched up yet. They still have six months to go!” “[the action scenes] are unnecessary and bad” “those parts with the elves won’t be the whole movie”. So... um... it’s a great trailer except for almost everything that appears in it?
