I know some people that have never read The Hobbit or seen the cartoon movie from 1977 before going into this film. Some of them liked this film as much as the Lord of the Rings.

I must say Thranduil is probably the most convincing looking Elf in terms of how I imagined it in Jackson's universe. With a few exceptions, I always thought Jackson dropped the ball in terms of how he visualized an Elf and how he directed the actor to perform as that being. With a few exceptions, most of the Jackson Elves never really stood out from Men as a more "ethereal" being. So when I saw Thranduil in the Hobbit prologue I had to smile and think, Mr Jackson, you finally got the majestic composure of an Elf right.
Galadriel was a considerable improvement from the previous trilogy as well.
