Well, having a Hobbit film isn't exactly new -- there's the 1977 Rankin-Bass animated version, which just goes to show that the story can outlast pretty much any adaptation and have different incarnations later. On the whole, I like AUJ, though there are bits that annoy me (some considerably), but I really enjoy having visuals for some things that I didn't imagine as fully. Erebor as a living dwarf kingdom comes to mind, and yes, manly riders of ponies are delightful! Besides, having the film generates additional interest in the books. Unless PJ does something unforgivably horrible in the next two (I don't feel that the targets of my grumbles about this one reach that level), I approve on the grounds that there are now more people in the world with whom I can talk about Middle-Earth. Of course, I make no claims that those conversations won't rapidly turn into me trying to wheedle them into reading the book!
