        I think the Hobbit has a chance to be a better movie than the LOTR movies. The book translates to film better, IMO, because you have one linear story (instead of the two stories in LOTR), and there isn't as much going on in the Hobbit. I think part of the problem with the LOTR movies is that the material they needed to cover was so vast. Large parts of the story were simply ignored, and many modifications were made to the original books and, to me, most of these modifications made no sense (hey, we were chilling out in Rivendell, but we heard you were in trouble at Helm's Deep, so even though it took you 3 months to get from Rivendell to Helm's Deep, it took us about 12 hours.)

        It will be interesting to see if the Hobbit is different in tone/look than the LOTR movies. I kind of hope so, but I doubt it.

          Jackson is including a lot more in the movie then what is in the book though. Legolas is in the movie ffs. And the movie will follow two stories, it includes Gandalf and the White Council's trip to Dol Guldur. Also apparently Sauron will have a physical presence in the movie.

          I'm excited for the movie, but some of the changes are pretty silly.

                I am extremely curious to see how the industry receives and reacts to the 48 fps. This seems like it could have a bigger impact than 3D ever did but there's such hugely mixed opinions on it I really have no idea how it will turn out.

                  Thats interesting that they are including parts of the overall story that wasn't in The Hobbit. People are usually interested in the wizards and whatnot, so that should add to the movie, IMO. I don't think Legolas was ever part of the Ring's backstory, but oh well.

                      I wonder what role Radagast will have in the movie...he didn't really have one in the books.

                        New trailer. Rumor is the first (of three) movies will end with the Eagles saving the company from the wargs.

                            Saw it last night in IMAX 3D..and I loved it.

                            Also (and I don't know if this happened before the regular vieweings of it), but if you see it in IMAX 3D, you get to see the first 9 minutes of the new Star Trek movie...and that was pretty badass.
