Really excited for this.

**Barkworm** · 12-20-2011, 10:12 PM

Looks really good so far.

Can't wait! I love Peter Jackson's use of practical effects as well as CGI as opposed to most filmmakers nowadays solely using CGI.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 12-28-2011, 02:50 PM

I love watching the trailer. I can't get enough of it, trying to pick it apart and see what it shows. Plus the fact that it includes the Misty Mountain song is amazing! I can't wait.

I'm particularly fond of the plate juggling scene.

I need to watch the Lord of the Ring movies. I haven't seen them since they came out in theaters.

I'm really not sure why they just didn't make the Hobbit movies first.

*ZariusTwo* · 01-05-2012, 11:25 AM

I'm sorry, I can't see Freeman as anyone other than Cumberbatch's personal b*tch

Filespit · 01-05-2012, 01:01 PM

Can't believe it's 10 years since the first one came out. I'm so stoked about this movie, can't wait to see how it looks "compared" to the others.

*Luzmagica* · 01-05-2012, 01:09 PM

Awesome!!!!! Cant wait to enjoy it!!!!!

*Donnie* · 03-12-2012, 03:07 PM

Tolkien's work has influenced my life so greatly (PJ's films included, in fact they were the catalyst for me), to say I'm excited for the Hobbit would be an understatement. ESTATIC might be the appropriate word...

I have the utmost of confidence in PJ & co. to deliver a sound prelude to their LotR trilogy, and I'm most curious about this:

How is PJ going to make the dwarves (sans Thorin and a few others with more than 3 lines) come alive? There's going to be a lot of character development that we never saw in the books. CAN'T WAIT!

zodiac brave · 12-13-2012, 11:02 PM

headin to da midnight showing in about 10 minutes. gettin all fanboy excited!

Forneus · 12-14-2012, 12:26 AM

Not sure exactly what some critics found wrong with this movie. This was another stellar film from Jackson. Martin Freeman was an amazing Bilbo and Richard Armitage did amazing work as Thorin. Most badass dwarf ever. Not much else to say right now, but I do think that most LoTR fans will find much to love here. It's a grand movie. The CGI work was out of this world too, with Gollum being photorealistic at points.

Can't wait to see Smaug in action in 2013.

*zkarlette* · 12-14-2012, 02:19 AM

I saw a screening last night and it surpassed my expectations,I really liked it.
Made me wan't to watch LOTR all over again.

zodiac brave · 12-14-2012, 03:45 AM

THATS how you add stuff to a story and make it BETTER! sooooo epic...its the hobbit i know and love and grew up reading, with A LOT of extra stuff that only strengthens the story. the concerns about them stretching it into a trilogy are totally assuaged now!

tho, i was honestly surprised by how many people were angry that it ended on a cliffhanger. i mean, even if the news that its was stretched to 3 movies is relatively new...it was always going to be more than 1. i heard this one guy all angry, saying "if its a f***ing year til the next one, then i'm not seeing it!" -_- stfu! lol. but a lot of people thought it was gonna be just this one movie.

either way...it was BADASS!

*AT-Man* · 12-14-2012, 05:41 AM

I liked it, wasn't too long at all. Can't even remember which material wasn't in the book, but it all fit right in the movie.

*BubblyShell22* · 12-14-2012, 08:48 AM

Haven't seen it yet, though I want to. I'd like to read the book first though so I know what's going on and what may be different about it.

zodiac brave · 12-14-2012, 10:27 AM

there was actually a TON of stuff not in the book. there was one sub-plot thats from another tolkien story altogether and ANOTHER sub-plot created by the producers just for the movie. these are both intertwined with the actual book's plot to strengthen the ties to the lotr trilogy.

Spoiler:

*BubblyShell22* · 12-14-2012, 12:02 PM

Ah, I see. Well, I still want to try and read the book before I see the movie. Then again, I saw the LOTR trilogy before I ever read the books, so that might be the case here, too. It depends.

zodiac brave · 12-14-2012, 12:55 PM

the book is one of my absolute favorites. much more like a fairy tale than lotr. i highly recommend it!

Spoiler: the story about radagast the brown and the necromancer is the other tolkien story and the parts about the sword he got and gave to gandalf, and galadriel and saruman the white at rivendell never happened in any tolkien story. also, the part about the pale orc was crazy developed for the movie. as was the rock giants thing. in the book, it was just a sentence or two. but damn if it wasnt a cool scene in the flick! __________________ what we were after, was lashings of ultra-violence.
