I think it's a better movie than the first, but share similar complaints.

I haven't seen either movie at 48fps, so I do wonder what effect that would have on my perception of action scenes, like the barrel one.
Actually the barrel scene became just so ridiculous it looped around and became enjoyable.

Evangeline was both kind of unnecessary and yet kind of a highlight, but I think I could have done without that entire subplot.

The Mirkwood & Beorn scenes seemed a bit short considering their place in the book, but oh well.
Also, perhaps I'm misremembering, but Bilbo's violent spider scene because of the ring seemed a bit overly strong considering the metric of the ring's effects we saw in LotR.
