I really wasn't big on the movie version of The Hobbit; I got so ticked off that I couldn't even finish watching the first one.

IMO, people should read the LOTR trilogy and then go back and read The Hobbit if they really want the back-story for Bilbo's journey. The Hobbit and the trilogy books are so vastly different in tone and scope; I think sometimes people who read The Hobbit and aren't impressed by it then aren't motivated to read the LOTR trilogy, which really should be required reading in schools everywhere.
