i dont really know if the people in this thread are trolling but how can anyone claim it will suck because its a bad sequel or it will suck because they reuse characters from the first movie. The hobbit is the "original novel" and based on its success tolkien decided to write lord of the rings. | ||

Fans of the story will like it, hardcore fans of the BOOK will dislike it and a good time will be had by all. (Martin Freeman as Bilbo was an inspired piece of casting and the Dwarves all look badASS) | ||

Even Tolkien himself said so. I read "the hobbit" but since I hardly remember anything of the book, I don't think I found it that interesting. Still, The Hobbit sure looks like it could be a good movie. | ||

The Hobbit is more accessible than LOTR which many (sadly) find too descriptive and slow paced these days. I personally prefer LOTR and it is my favourite book of all time. However, I can understand why it turns some off.

There's just too much stuff going on that require proper explaining to be good. I guess he could pick out more standalone-ish stories to convert into films like The Children of Hurin and The Tale of Beren and Lúthien. I suppose he could also construct stories for the fall of numenor, the fall of gondolin and other important tales like that of Earendil. I'm not sure how motivated Peter Jackson would be after finishing The Hobbit though. | ||

The hobbit is alot more simple and easy to access and people like that. In any case, i think this movie will be epic. | ||

In the book, most of them had no personal backstory and no real individuality. I believe Tolkien missed some interesting possibilities here. I do not like the look of Thorin Oakenshield. I always thought of him as one of the oldest of the dwarfs, with a beard longer than his hair. He looks more like an arrogant leader in the prime of his strength and more like a small human than a huge dwarf. Not like the king of a lost kingdom, who turned bitter through a live of disappointments, who feels superior to everyone around him and who now tries to have one last shot to restore the long lost glory of his family. At least that was he used to be in my memory. He was arrogant as fuck, if you've read the Unfinished Tales section on The Quest of Erebor (which is basically more backstory to how Bilbo ended up accompanying them), and wanted NOTHING to do with the hobbit until Gandalf nearly forced him to bring him along. I WANT to see that part expounded upon after we see them singing, as it adds dramatic gravitas to his initially bumbling presence. Arrogance and a hint of bitterness after all can come in one great package. | ||
