Jumping in late here . I saw it on the 14th in Las Vegas- yes, shows what a bunch of geeks my friends and I are- out of 22 of us gathering in Vegas-- 12 of us left the slot machines and booze for the movie .
I had a blast! Martin Freeman rocks, Richard Armatage was nicely intense, and the movie was (IMHO) a lot of fun. Yes, I am a Tolkien fan, but always liked LOTR far more than The Hobbit. That being said I really enjoyed this.
For the most part, I was unaware of the time, so the pace worked for me. I didn't see a3-D version, but did notice a slight adjustment my mind and eyes needed to do within the first five or ten minutes just because of the faster filming style.
OH! And Andy Serkis was amazing! I really enjoyed Gollum alot (ok, I always do, but that scene was perfect).
