The hobbit is alright, but 3 films?!?!??! WTF? The hobbit is a light adventure, not an epic story like the LotR trilogy. But money is very important...
I could maybe understand splitting it into 2, making some big battle scenes, but I seriously cannot see where the material for the third one will be...
Anyway, I might go and see it, but doubt it. Too monetised for my taste

Just imagine: Two towers: Beggining, Two towers: Rise of Rohan, Two towers: Fall of Saruman 8-)
Inb4 everybody claims it makes them feel like looking at what they recorded with their camcorder back in the 90's, or a cheap soap opera.
Either the 48 FPS thing is going to kill that movie, either The Hobbit is going to hit the taboo of movie framerates veyr hard.
WHAT? has peter jackson gone mental? 48fps? usually movies are at 24-25ish fps, 48 must feel like on acid, well if its fighting scenes are cut properly and not like 007 Quantum of Solace WTFJUSTHAPPENDWHOSLEGSTHATIS, editing then i suppose its ok..

dwarves and midgets are different, don't you know.
I cant see a better book to film adaption ever being made.Right off the top of my head: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, The Fight Club, The name of the rose, The Godfather.

Nerds you say?(click to show/hide)
Well, considering there's gonna be a lot of dwarves in this one, I'd say there will be even more midgetbundle of sticksry.
SO GIMLI is in this one?? BUT dwarves are masculine macho men, AFAIK their dwarf women have beards, so wait how can one tell the difference between a dwarf man and woman? I IS CONFUSED :|This is why homosexuality is punishable by death in dwarven societies.
Inb4 everybody claims it makes them feel like looking at what they recorded with their camcorder back in the 90's, or a cheap soap opera.Whenever I see a camcorder shot during regular tv I dread the moment when it turns back to regular TV framerate. I think it is utterly retarded that we have improved everything when it comes to visual and audio quality, but the framerate is still the same jerky shit since 1940.

I don't see at all how 24 fps is better than anything higher, and I dont see at all why people would hate 48 fps. You don't play video games at 24 fps, it's horrendous. I am glad The Hobbit is finally doing something half a century overdue.
Curse Jackson for giving us better visual quality!
^Still ahead of other 3rd world countries.
but seriously I have some doubts about how they have adapted these films. the hobbit is a shortish childrens book, good but entirely different to lotr which is not entirely the same universe tbh.
but im still hyped to shit, nothing comes close to when the frst lotr film came out. I was 12 years old, and had read the books. I cant see a better book to film adaption ever being made.
even if the films suck I will still be glad for the soundtrack, more music to play the last days mod to.
Not entirely the same universe.. really? I'm surprised you've read all of the books if that's the conclusion you have come too, considering The Hobbit sets the stage for LOTR and the main character is Bilbo Baggins who is adoptive parent and relative of Frodo Baggins, who is the 'main' character of LOTR. These movies are going to be as awesomeas the LOTR movies without a doubt.
It doesn't set the stage or was even intended to. It was just a children book he wrote and later he decided to make much more serious books about it afaik. And the universe does change a lot. Not so much in plain fact, but in tone. But there isn't really that much in common in the first place. You've got the ring, about which they later find out isn't a handy little thing but the doomingly dooming doomthing of doom. And then there's Gandalf (I think in the Hobbit Gandalf hides on a tree from wolves for like days, in LOTR wolves hide on a tree from Gandalf). The few others are really minor characters.
I am pretty sure the movie will follow the tone of LOTR and be full of action and drama and people screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and that's good but for the same reason I'd think that people picking up the book after watching it will be like wtf.
The Hobbit is near...
I heard it's nice to watch after reading the book, I read the book but didn't watch yet. Opinions about this ?
I think you should read it first, just so that you know what it is about, it's not LOTR, it's not as epic and great storywise but it's an amazing movie expirience nontheless! (just watch it it 3D 48fps, don't mind about the film conservative 24fps 35mm film is the best-idiots :wink: )

Orcs and Goblins should really have been given more of a visual difference. I can see neophytes not getting that they were 2 different factions.http://tolkien.cro.net/orcs/goblins.html
