The story is one we have seen hundreds of times (not bad but nothing new) but it was shown in the best 3D we have ever seen - even to this day. I can remember Moon came out at around the same time as Avatar and was as un-flashy and cheap to make in comparison to Avatar as you could get - but the story and acting were better and for me that makes it a better film with more replay value than Avatar - even though that blew me away at the cinema and had a decent enough story. Similar to avengers - massively overrated popcorn flick.

A movie shouldn't need a huge article like this to justify its self...

Many explanations for differences between critic and fan ratings exist.

Probably because IMO the R&B version was truer to the book than Peter Jackson's Hobbit.
