Too long, self-indulgent

When Peter Jackson decided to spend 20 minutes (TWENTY MINUTES) at the unplanned and uninvited dinner at Bilbo Baggins' house, the film lost me. Peter Jackson should have added a scene smelling his own self-indulgent farts.

The dinner scene doesn't make the list of annoyances I have with this film, and I have a few. I'm not sure why it would bother someone so as to be such a dealbreaker as you imply, it goes by fast and helps set up the characters. It has tints of camp where I think it was trying to be whimsical but I just don't see how it's that big of a deal.

This bit was probably my favourite part of the film. It captured exactly how I imagined it when I read it in the book when I was wee. And it added some variety to all of the walking and fighting monsters. Of the issues throughout this trilogy, I definitely didn't feel this was one of them.
