Either way I didn't get a hard on, like I did when watching the LOTR trailer at the movies the first time. That actually suits well with the book. To me the change to Gimli in LotR is way way worse. The films change Gimli from the great dwarven fighter to the dwarf equivalent of Jar Jar Binks, saying stupid stuff and falling over while comically defeating enemies. | ||

In LOTR he was 80 so I assume that he was to be like 30 in the Hobbit. They make reference to this in the fellowship of the ring read the book he has absolutely nothing to do with the story | ||

Oh youtube, why are you so dumb. To those worried about Peter Jackson ruining it, I don't know. I do understand because I came full circle from liking the LotR movies though being frustrated with the changes to disliking it entirely to accepting that the books themselves had not changed and I can enjoy LotRs as movies and book separately. There are still things that irritate me- Gimili's devolution, the missed opportunity to have Pippen and Gandalf watching the levies march through Minas Tirirth from the outlands (such an epic build up moment) to the nonsensical charge against a wall. But in the end it's still enjoyable. | ||

I stopped reading cuz dear lord was that book boring Bilbo's birthday party in Lotr is 61 years after the events of the Hobbit, but then it actually takes 17 years before Frodo starts his journey and meets Aragorn in Bree. This is not reflected in the movie, where this is just portrayed as a few months. So even though Aragorn is 88-89 in Lotr, he is only 10 in the Hobbit. He wasn't even mentioned in that book because Tolkien hadn't concieved of him at the time. While he was first writing Fellowship, the character that later became Aragorn was actually a hobbit called Trotter. | ||

Looking forward to the movie so much but refuse to follow it too closely until release as I don't want to over-hype myself on it. Really glad they are keeping with Peter Jackson though! | ||

They're using a lot of stuff from appendices, and even Silmarilion I think, in the Hobbit film, hence the need for two films | ||
