...because I feel like the characters are more approachable. In LotR, you meet so many new characters so quickly, and are deluged with one crisis after another in different parts of Middle Earth, that it's hard to get really attached to anyone for very long. But I don't feel that way at all with the Hobbit. The characters are upfront and very honest about their emotions, and (I think this is a HUGE plus) you get to stay with these same characters throughout the story. Some have complained about the pacing...but I love it. You get to know most of the main characters (which is a feat in and of itself) without having to stray to other areas of the world. I love that I really identify with Thorin and his quest, and that I get to see Bilbo really test his mettle. I also like seeing Gandalf a little more carefree. I also felt a little claustrophobic, like one other person mentioned...and at first, I wondered if it was because of the CGI or sets they used...but then I realized that they spend a good chunk of the film either in Bilbo's house, or in the caves of the Misty Mountains. That's just my feelings, though. Don't flame me...I'm not saying it's better than LotR...I'm just saying that I personally am enjoying it more than I thought I would; and I never thought anything would come close to FotR.
