Following last year’s blockbuster smash, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson has given birth, obviously with great labor pains, to The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which was released on Friday, Dec. 13, to an excited audience who are already upset they have to wait another year for the third and final film.
Fans took to Twitter, letting the internet know exactly how they feel about the extremely long and nerdy film. Here are some of their reactions.
First, they stated the facts. Everyone knows anything JRR Tolkien related brings out the entire Nerd Kingdom.

Citizens of the Nerd Kingdom always come with their own puns.
The Hobbit was good, but it kept dragon on. Don’t worry guys, I’ve got hundreds of these puns in my head. — Hayden Cross (@HCross7) December 14, 2013
And their own sense of humor.

But just as with anyone else, some of them can be mean, even when they do it in Elvish.

Critics said.
The new #Hobbit is better than the first, mostly because there’s more action and way less rowdy dwarf dinners. http://t.co/8CsQG1V2kA

The film’s premiere coincided with another not-so-publicized debut.

Whether angry, obsessed, or just your average fan, everyone is usually happy in the end.
Waited for the last 2D show. The theater is empty. Happier than a hobbit in a hole. #TheHobbit
