Looks alright; too much CGI backdrops, which is giving me a Star Wars prequel vibe. But I loved the singing, and the Gollum appearance gave me nerd chills

Cool trailer. Hate the subtitle. Music mix was a little weird at the end, I could see what they were going for.

I have a feeling though that many of the people who liked the LOTR movies will find this might not be their kind of thing. Less action and more lighthearted fun.

I don't see this being as big as The Lord of the Rings movies were.

Looks great.  I love Peter Jackson and I LOVE the cast of this movie.  Particularly Martin Freeman as Bilbo.  Perfect casting.

It'll be interesting to see how they handle Gollum in this movie – whether they stick to his original model or completely redesign him.  I hope they go for the latter, because Gollum looks atrocious now on repeat viewings of the LOTR trilogy.

This movie will make PD yearn for Kiwiland even more.

I always liked the Hobbit more the LOTR as a book, so hope the movie will be the same :) Less drama, more magic!

It's funny though that the business with who-gets-what at the end and Bilbo's stunt with the arkenstone is more morally ambiguous/complex than anything in LotR.  But it's done in such a great way and slots in super well with the rest of the story.  Really looking forward to the movies, hopefully they don't fuck it up.

I don't see this being as big as The Lord of the Rings movies were.
The Hobbit novel is nearly as big The Lord of the Rings. I believe it has sold more than 100 million copies. One of the highest selling books of all time. It shouldn't have a problem.

And this will outgross Return of the King I think. No question. 10 years of ticket price inflation? Plus the 3D & IMAX"tax" Return of the King didn't have? It won't have to sell as many tickets to easily outgross it.

never read it. looked it up on wikipedia and it appears to be a heist story? but instead of a bank, it's a dragon's treasure? that seems novel. Hopefully it turns out well.

The treasure is the dwarves originally. The dragon stole it. They are on a quest to reclaim their treasure and kill the dragon. There is a side-story as well of Gandalf and the other wizards fighting Sauron.

Well it takes place after the intro to FOTR when he lost the ring so he won't look like the big armor guy. Not sure exactly what he will look like, I don't think Tolkien ever described how he looked in his Necromancer state which is what he'll be in this film.

This is who is playing Sauron in the Hobbit films though:

in the hobbit's defense, aren't they still filming as of right now with the film still being a year away from its release date? who knows if they'll even use the shots they've shown in the trailer given how everything from the editing to the cgi is in a preliminary state.

Also the costume/makeup on the dwarfs looks pretty dumb. I read the book ages ago, I know it's a lighthearted novel compared to LOTR and I certainly don't want it turned into LOTR 2.0...I just hope we aren't going to get one badass dwarf (Thorin) and eleven Jar Jars
Title: Re: The Hobbit trailer
Post by: Cheebo on December 21, 2011, 04:05:43 PM
It's important to remember Jackson did the green screen in studio stuff first and has been shooting on location the past month or two now, I doubt many of the location material was ready for the teaser.

Also the costume/makeup on the dwarfs looks pretty dumb. I read the book ages ago, I know it's a lighthearted novel compared to LOTR and I certainly don't want it turned into LOTR 2.0...I just hope we aren't going to get one badass dwarf (Thorin) and eleven Jar Jars
I doubt the Gandalf vs. the Necromancer stuff will be light-hearted. TheOneRing.Net did a shot by shot analysis and there is a ton of Dol Guldur stuff in the teaser, probably means we will see a ton of it in the movie.
