My wall thinks so:

But nah, it was epic. Perfect? No, not quite (I'll get to that), but certainly epic. I like how they're bringing in Dol Guldur and all.
Also they made each dwarf distinct, even if they do get rushed over a lot.
So what'd I change? Pacing, mostly. Take a critical hand and cut away. The stone giant battle while really cool, was unnecessary and slowed it down. Same with Radagast's introduction, could have cut a few minutes off of that too. Just bits here and there to improve the pacing.
Oh, and the Into Darkness preview kicked all kinds of awesome.

As for pacing, I was fine with what they had, really. I'm sort of glad that they decided "To heck with this, this isn't your conventional film so we're going to treat the pacing like its own thing and do every single part of the story a piece of magnificent justice."
