The hobbit was one of the first book I ever read for personnal entertainment. I remember starting LOTR just after that and... just completly stop half way through book 1 because of all the descriptions that just bored me to death.

Had to wait some years until I finally read LOTR.

I was quite perplexed when I heard of them making Hobbit, especially that they have mentioned the full 3D... However, after watching Vblogs and reading notes from the producer all of my worries disappeared. You can really see that they are putting a lot of hard work and talent into the production and are taking their time to get it all right. Its going to be EPIC!!

I personally liked TLOTR more. I felt like The Hobbit was written more like for a younger audience while TLOTR was somehow darker and more complex reading-wise. So although I am not as hyped as for the original trilogy adaptation, I will be there in the opening day.

At first I had the same thoughts but than Jackson said at the blog videos that they have small special 3D cameras to shoot even at narrow place so I think that aspect of filming won't be hurt.
Though I think I will first enter the non 3D screening if there will be one. I share your fears, I'm not a fan of the 3D films at all.

yay, about time the idots come out of their holes. This is no sequel in fact the book "the hobbit" is older than LOTR and takes place before the events that happen in LOTR

It was also meant as a children's book and is not nearly as good as Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. 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.

I had infinitely more fun reading The Hobbit(in the multiple times I read it) than I did reading LOTR, most of the parts were overly environment descriptive with no action/interaction and they almost made me want to stop reading altogether.
I like the part where sense is considered a common, settled thing.

Yeah, how do you adapt that weird thing? It's because of those same reasons that there were no Tom Bombadil on LOTR. It's just too abstract.
