Looks cool. I'm sure I'll see it but it's hard to get excited about a movie that doesn't come out for another year.

I never liked The Hobbit quite as much as the LOTR trilogy, but this does look pretty cool. I'll be seeing if for sure.

At first I was like:



But now, I'm kind of a little disappointed. I just have this feeling deep in my gut that these movies are only gonna be a shadow of the greatness that was LOTR.

It's got a lot to live up to. I did prefer the Hobbit to the LoTR as a book. It was a little more childish, as I can see in the trailer. And 2012 is a totally different market than 2001 was, so who knows who the makers will try to cater to.

However, Peter Jackson is such a huge fan that I can't see him fucking it up one bit.

I think the feel of this movie will be along the same lines of LotR. Like parts are obviously more childish like the party scene but I did not expect the dwarves singing so solemnly. And with Thorin telling Gandalf that he wouldn't be responsible for Bilbo, i have high hopes for this movie.

I'll get excitedabout this for real in December, but that trailer definitely bodes well for it!

Saw it this afternoon, it was great! Anyone want to have a nerdy discussion about what you liked, didn't like, how it was different from the books, etc?

I saw it last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it; I unanimously disagreed with the criticisms of most of the reviews I read. I also saw it in 48fps, which was pretty impressive IMO. There were one or two scenes where it made the CGI look really bad, but otherwise I thought it was cool-looking.
