Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

quite ..... hollywood-ic...........   elves pursuing dwarves in barrels accross the river..... yet one more absurdity...

but oh well... that LOOKS great.... but only LOOKS ... that's what we ask of a movie isn't it... to LOOK great, not to BE great

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

I'm sure JRRT will be rolling in his grave about the liberties taken with his story, but it still looks like it's going to be an entertaining movie.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

well I agree with barliman... a visually stunning "medfan" movie....

but as far from the Hobbit as possible....

Still, at some points, it looks like "all that you have ever wanted to see in the tolkien books but haven't"  (even if seen by PJ vision alas)   ... For example, Gandalf and Radagast at Dol Guldur...  non canon but.. interesting

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Whole bloody today world repose on entertainment... and those movies are just a little part of this global production of fake money.... but who cares.... we should have more fun, enjoy it in a hilarious party in Middle-earth...

I got home a copy of the first part, I'll do the same with the other parts. To rip DVD...

Some scenes in this trailer suggest that the second part will be much more dynamic.... so we should wait... to see many news from the "Hobbit" book... Maybe they are fragments of Tolkien's subconscious.... hmm

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Oh, and I meant to say that I love the way Smaug slides maleovently into view in the final shot! Very impressive.

By the way, is it just me, or does the guy playing Bard look scarily like Orlando Bloom's character in the Pirates  movies? Twins, maybe? Nah, can't be.

In the meantime Mrs B. has fallen in love with Thranduil's voice....

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Mrs B. has fallen in love with Thranduil's voice . . . very interesting that is . . .

Well- what to say. I think EVERYBODY here is clearly aware about, that money makes the world go around,  isn´t it?!
So let´s focus on the visual aspects: like Elvenking´s halls. That is brilliant!
Or Laketown. A bit dirty, a but "underdog-like" , very interesting.
The company in front of Dale´s ruins . . . fantastic atmosphere. Is that snow all around ????

So- after reading the book, what did really happen in the first part: nothing! Nothing that makes the book so interesting.
I suppose that´s the main point for ma disappointment.
No Beorn, no Mirkwood, no Woodelves, no Esgaroth, no Smaug.
Concerning Smaug. Mr. S seemed to be the most hidden sectret in film-history.
Well- that´s a Dragon. I can remember that "they" talked about disigning Smaug years ago. With Master Del Toro still on bord.
And this Dragon should be THE dragon. But- is he?
Comparing the first view with other "examples" in film history I defenetly have doubt.

(And different people here do know, that I know who is THE dragon . . .  But that´s another story, and off topic also. )

It is about further "behind the scenes" videos, and making-of-stuff on which we are waiting for months . . .


Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Best thing for me was Iñigo Montoya cameo. I've missed this character from the Princess Bride.

By the way, do you know if they are going to include Bard and the Northmen of Esgaroth?

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Bard is indeed in the trailer - he's the fellow I jokingly suggested looked like Orlando Bloom as he appears in the Pirate movies. Beorn may not be there because, I imagine, his shots probably involve special effects work, which may not be finished yet.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Oh, really? So the latin looking guy is not Iñigo Montoya after all... (just kidding!).

Beorn is in the trailer, in the scene with the Dwarfs closing the doors to prevent a big furry head to come in.

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Absolutely gentlemen, absolutely.
Dale looks really fantastic, as far as Esgaroth! Especially with the winter atmosphere.
Really impresive. That is what I am waiting for . . .

So let´s work out some "snow-tutorials" for your dioramas . . .

Re: THE HOBBIT MOVIE

Those Esgaroth sequences are flashing you, fellows, and therefor you are speacheless . . . !
I can absolutely understand that !

I have a detailed look to my screenshots done and there is a lot to discover . . . really a lot. What a magnificent place!
Though I cannot find the longboats . . .
