I can't comment on the awesomeness or fake-looking-ness of 48 frames per second, because I watched the movie in 2D. I refuse to wear an extra pair of glasses to watch a movie; wearing one pair is enough of a hassle for me.
But, all that being said, I was just so pleased to see Middle Earth again. Bilbo is great. Gandalf is great. We get to see Elrond and Galadriel again. (Which felt unnecessary to me, but I do like seeing them.) And if Peter Jackson produced a movie called "Hobbits Read the Alphabet", set in the Shire or Rivendell, I would totally pay full price to go see that for 3 hours.
