For someone who is terrible at music of any nature like me, I almost ignored them completely while reading the books. Skimmed through them at best. That song just makes the trailer, so peaceful and yet so much power. This is me 100% - reading most books I skim through the songs / poems if any are in them, but the trailer was awesome with that song (misty moutains?). So good. | ||

I suppose things only referenced in the books and later expanded upon like the siege of Dol Goldur. Quite important things in the greater scheme of things yet so little things to build upon. | ||

Reading some of the comments on this thread reminds me that there are actually people who have never read The Hobbit. An inconvenient truth that I seem to forget from time to time. Does everybody else think that they're going to do the stuff with Gandalf and Dol Guldor? I know that stuff was never in the books but it was hinted, and it's something I think I'd enjoy seeing. | ||

I am quite glad about this I loved the Hobbit more than LotR. I hope they don't pull much stuff out of their ass like LOL GHOSTS and stick closer to the lore. Wish they showed Smaug in the trailer though... I can't wait to see the battle of the 5 armies on Screen | ||

But seriously, that would be awesome. And the part with the trolls. That will be enjoyable. | ||

I thought the book was way more happy go lucky and the dwarves were just regular grumpy dwarves not as dark as Thorin seemed...Still gonna be awesome! Well, they were more focused on their quest than Bilbo at the start, so they really just didn't care about him, whether he lived or died or whatever. Hell, some of the time you think they only brought him along to avoid being 13 in number (of course, they had Gandalf too, but he made it clear that he would be leaving them). Halfway through, most notably after Bilbo saves them from the spiders, they warm up to him, but you can still see that some of the dwarves (mostly Thorin though) are insatiably money-hungry and only focused on that, rather than their friends. This comes through when the dwarves protect their money pile from the villagers. | ||

However, the beards are a little lacking. Good Job though. Can't wait. I felt the same way. It seems a little more acceptable on the younger dwarves, but I really dislike the lack of beard on Thorin. | ||

The Shire? Perfect. Characters (Aragorn, Sam, Gandalf, Saruman) ? Perfect. Elfs (Elrond, Arwen, Galadriel)? Perfect. Helm's deep fight? Perfect. Gollum? Perfect. Atmoshpere? Perfect. Like every other reader, I had all the story in my mind well defined before the movies, but after the movies, when I read LOTR again, the images that came in my head were those of the movies, which means PJ did a very good job of portraying the world of Tolkien as strictly as possible. The book is always gonna be better than the movie, there's way more details and descriptions in a book, but a movie has to be entertaining for the public and I think Peter Jackson just hit that sweet spot between entertainment and book adaptation. There's only so much you can film in 3 hours. Just go watch Harry Potter or Narnia and thank god we had such an awesome producer for LOTR. It isn't a coincidence he won so many oscars. On The Hobbit: I'm not sure I understand correctly...It will be in 2 parts? One in 2012 and one in 2013? | ||
