Is it me or did Gandalf's character seem....well "off" in The Hobbit?

I mean I read LOTR first and since then I have made an attempt to read The Hobbit. I stopped reading about mid-way as it didn't grab me in the way LOTR did because:

1) I already knew too much of the story for The Hobbit by reading LOTR and

2) Gandalf's character seemed a little "off"...He didn't seem quite himself to me!
