Never really liked the LotR movies as they are to grimdark and stale for me. The Hobbit looks to be alot more fun and colorful. Hopefully there will be more character interaction and banter a la SW ep 4-5-6 and less bland "noble warrior"-types a la LotR. | ||

Obvious joke is obvious, I know, I know. I am super excited to see this movie. I'm a reformed book purist who has come around to realize the movie adapation is an adaption and the books remain the same no matter what changes are made in the film. As such, I greatly enjoy the LotR's and The Hobbit can't come out soon enough for me. I think it's quite neat how they're actually incorporating some of Tolkien's songs in and it looks like visually it will be similar and will maintain the seriousness. However, there will be some more comic relief as they will be throwing dishes and falling through the door on top of each other. That last trailer has got me super pumped. Oh and I would totally love someone to take a shot at a couple of Tolkien's stories (take Turin Turambar or the Fall of Gondolin or anything really and you have the makings of an epic story. Given the sorts of things they're making movies out of these days- Battleship, Where the Wild Things Are (actually a genuinely good movie, but consider there's like 9 sentences they made a movie out of.) it's not entirely unreasonable. The one thing is I would like someone else to direct it other than Jackson. Not because of his movies- I quite like what he has done. I just don't want Jackson to turn into a one trick pony like George Lucas. | ||

There is such a vast oversupply of characters, places, wars and dates in first and second age history, even when narrowed down to the stories of the simarills that despite spending the vast majority of the non-LOTR/Hobbit writing time on that time period, Tolkien was nowhere near completing it when he died. Agreed. I read re-read silmarillion quite recently and I have a hard time seeing how you'd turn that into a working movie. The only way it would work is to take one small part of the book and expand on that. | ||

At least when hollywood sodomizes one of my favorite childhood stories they can't make another after this. Of course I'll watch it. But the LOTR trilogy failed to rewrite the epic memories and replace the actual characters images in my mind with the actors. Yay for everyone liking LOTR. If 1/5 people read the books for the first time then I'll buy a ticket and the DVD. But I don't have to be particularly impressed. | ||
