Any one excited to see this? I wish someone other than Peter Jackson was doing it. I feel like he does evil and dark well, but he missed the lighter moments of TLOR. The Hobbit has such a different, lighter, more campy(?) feel to it, I'm afraid he's going to make it a dark and sinister movie. The characters I've seen look pretty cool though.
Bout friggin time! been waiting for this movie like a child for christmas. I didn't know Jackson took over once again as directing, I too fear he might make it too dramatic and not enough 'happy times'. Good call on the crocs, sexy.
Your title needs an s at the end. It's gonna be 2 movies of Bilbo kickassery An Unexpected Journey 2012 set for December 14 1 week before Mayageddon There and Back Again 2013 (if we survive that calendar reset thingy)
Was one of my favorite books as a child. I never read LOR nor watched the movies but loved Bilbo and Smaug.
JM is going to neg the **** out of me for this, but these books and movies are not good. They suck. They suck major major hairy hobbit ***. It doesn't matter who directs this crap. Steven Spielberg could direct and it'd be like trying to put lipstick on a pig.
I loved all of the J. R. R. Tolkien books. As a kid on the farm, that was my escape. I vividly remember using my farm income to buy the box set and how after reading and re-reading them, they would go back in the box until the box fell apart. And, I love the Peter Jackson version of the LOTR. I think he does the humor justice. I think any more humor would make it campy. Okay, now I have 2 new movies that I will venture into the theaters to see. Thanks for the heads up on the first movie, thecynic. Spek.
You have every right not to like them for any reason or no reason. But what qualifies you to say, or causes you to say, they are "not good"? Serious question, not a challenge to a politcal-type smackfest.
My problem with the books is that I simply do not like the "fantasy" genre in any shape, form, or fashion. The movies (sans the Hobbit which obviously hasn't been released yet) were too long, too boring, and had lousy acting.
I'm glad that no one other than Peter Jackson is producing/directing this movie. I was upset when I heard that the producer of Del Toro was originally going to produce this movie. But when I heard he gave it up to Jackson, I was thrilled....... http://www.deadline.com/2010/05/del-toro-leaves-the-hobbit-and-evidently-peter-jackson-wont-be-next/ No one other than Jackson should be in charge of the Hobbit. The Lord of the Rings movies were some of the best if not the best movies of all time...
Ah so. I'm generally not a fantasy fan either, but these books appealed to my linguistic side. I liked the movies but didn't love them.
The thing that separates hobbits from humans is that they grow hair on their toes and not on their a**. Maybe you omitted a fourth star or an s?
I bow to your superior knowledge. I confess that I'm not an expert on the relative hairiness or attractiveness of a hobbit's ***.
