The film as a whole should have been 30 minutes shorter and that has for a large part to do with first hour. I loved the prologue but I think Frodo and Bilbo should have been cut. Then there's this terribly long 'merry gathering' - the worst part of it being so slow is that it makes the songs very awkward. By themselves, the songs are good, but in the context of the film they become an annoyance. Like 'gosh, there was this whole bunch of slapstick and now, instead of getting on with it, they're singing?!'
I also felt the Stone Giants sequence could have been cut. Apart from defying the laws of nature where gravity and body health are concerned, it served absolutely no purpose and felt like Episodic over-the-top action sequence number so-and-so.

So, do you think the first part of the movie drags?

Because it's not a book, it's a film.
