How boring is The Hobbit?

I'm going to see it in IMAX 3D tomorrow but I'm a bit worried by from what a lot of people have been saying that it might be a bit too boring...I understand it'll have some awesome visual effects and action but a lot of critics and people I know have complained about the pacing and length, saying it felt like 3 days long as opposed to 3 hours, that the tea party scene in the trailer took forever, that they never thought it would end, etc....I really hope it doesn't turn out that way but I'd like a second opinion.

From those of you who have seen it already, what did you think of it? Was it boring or was it at least exciting enough to hold your attention for its runtime (as long as it was)? Honestly the main reason I've agreed to watch it in IMAX was for the Man of Steel and Pacific Rim trailers, plus the 9-minute Star Trek preview. Call me pathetic but I think it's worth it.

I was eagerly awaiting ech upcoming scene, out of it, and the 3 Lord of the Rings films, it seemed to pass the quickest.

i saw it in imax 3d it was amazing. The effects were just insane and there is lots of over the top action. Yes it is a lord of the rings movie so there is lots of talking. But this movie does not deserve the hate it gets.

Unrelated question but still about The Hobbit;

Does it have any spiders in it?

I just felt like asking without making a whole new thread about it. My buddy's wife wants to see it but she will not go if it has spider-like creatures in it :P

It's not boring...

RELEASE THE PRISONERS

.....wrong movie.

the 1st ten minutes with old bilbo are a bit pointless, the next 20 minutes are slow but with 13 dwarves it needs it really otherwise you'd lose track of them

This. The movie was really good overall imo.

Favorite movie of 2012, I'd say the Hobbit trilogy is off to a better start than the Lord of the Rings trilogy was,and I love LOTR.

if you can survive the frodo and sam and pippin and merry parts of lotr you can surely get through this.....

It shouldn't be boring to anyone who has a longer attention span than a gold fish.

Without attempting to read most of these comments I would say people were expecting something as epic as LOTR which was initially very very difficult to happen. Or a movie of the year and such.

Honestly, the only complaints I have from seeing the movie were people in the theatre wouldn't shut the f*ck up.

I don't know.

I doubt I ever will know how boring it is.

i still plan on seeing this movie

I loved it. Not as memorable as Fellowship was for LotR's (My fav all time film) but I still really liked it and wasn't bored with it at all.

Saw the movie last night. Surprisingly it has a ton of action, almost non-stop, so I barely found a minute of it to be boring.

I haven't watched the movie, but the book is pretty boring IMO.

I didn' t get bored even once. The first 30 minutes everyone keeps complaining about had just a lack of action scenes. Those are not what make a good movie. As a true Tolkien fan I grasped the chance of the beginning to reminisce the old times of LOTR and engross myself in the movie. The actors were really good (I liked Martin Freeman as Bilbo) and at times I got the usual LOTR goosebumps. An excellent movie overall-not as epic as LOTR but great in its own way.
