My take after seeing last night: People who were not into the books will enjoy it more, and it's too long (needs an intermission, but that's not possible these days). Can't wait to get it on DVD. Glad I saw it in a theater for the "big screen experience", and hated some of the changes to the story Jackson made (especially the ending - - kills the sense of urgency that would have propelled them into the second movie).

Oh, and that guy who pays Elron, I hated him. He was perfect for the Matrix, but what a wooden delivery in this film.

Special FX's were ok, the sets (including the CGI) were great.
