"I'm sorry, but I think The Hobbit did all of this first and better. This is more like a cheap knockoff."

At the beginning:
I’m excited to see how they develop Radagast, he’s one of my favorite characters.
In Moria:
Another dwarven mine? Talk about a plot rehash. Is there going to be a big bad in this one too?
Why doesn’t Frodo just use the ring most of the time to hide like Bilbo did?
When they introduce Legolas:
He was in the prequels, I really liked his romantic story arc.
Near the End of the Two Towers:
This one felt long in the tooth. Did they really have to keep all of that character building?
Near the end of ROTK:
How long was this journey? It took Bilbo decades to be seduced by the ring. You’re telling me it overpowered Frodo in just a few weeks? Why didn’t they just give the ring to Sam? He seems better equipped to handle it. I’ll tell you why. Nepotism.
When they encounter the giant spiders - they had these in the prequel too.
You’re telling me all this time it’s a ghost army that wins this war?
