Long doesn't mean slow. The trilogy tells the entire LOTR story in 9 (or 12) hours. That's not slow, that's dense. RoP takes 8 hours to tell barely any story at all. Hours pass where nothing happens. The characters are barely developed. We can't even begin to have character arcs because we don't know who most of them are in the first place. That's slow.

I would say we have a good idea of who all of the major characters are (The Stranger aside), what they believe in and stand for.
