Am I the only person who, among the things I'm most excited for, is seeing modern day CGI for Gollum? People made a huge deal about him in LOTR but looking back in those CG threads that pop up...he hasn't held up too well
I think if you go through Fellowship of the Ring the movie when Sam and Aragon are looking for that plant to help Frodo there is a quick glimpse of the 3 trolls when they had been turned to stone.

I really didn't like any of the LOTR films, is there any indication the material here will be superior? From what it sounds like it just seems like an after the fact idea.
Objectively speaking LOTR was only 50% superior to Hobbithoos30 said:The story in "The Hobbit" is far, far inferior to LOTR (no, it's not just different, it is horrible).
No. It's 24fps in 3D and 2D.Will the trailer in cinemas play at 48fps in 3D?
Will all the theaters support 48 fps 3d or will you need to go to imax or theaters with the appropriate hardware?

There is absolutely no hope for you. The story in "The Hobbit" is far, far inferior to LOTR (no, it's not just different, it is horrible). So if you didn't like LOTR, don't even waste your time checking in this thread.

I really liked the incorporation of the somber dwarven song into the trailer. It gets the dwarves out of the comic relief role filled by Gimli in the LoTR films and closer to what Tolkien envisioned them as.

He's a thoroughly talented actor better known for his work in period tv series and films. He's also playing the Necromancer. He actually played another monster recently in the 2011 National Theatre Live, he was Frankenstein and the creature.I just read that Smaug will be voice-acted and motion-captured by the actor who portrays Sherlock Holmes on the BBC series of the same name. I've never seen the show. Is this guy as awesome as Serkas?

Very different from the cave troll in Fellowship and the trolls grinding away at the Black Gate in Return of the King.
Worst post I've read on GAF since a long time.

There are more than enough key events to keep people with no preconceptions about the film entertained and enthralled. The pacing of The Hobbit novel is fantastic once Bilbo's journey begins and it's pretty much like that until the finale. If Peter and co can translate that kind of pacing into the two films, there'll be nothing to worry about.This movie is going to be boring as shit compared to everything that went down in the LOTR movies.
Looks like a cartoon.
Really? I still think Gollum looks good. The wargs though, especially in Two Towers, look horrendous. Although, they looked horrible even when the movie first came out.
