[Lucy.]

Richard and Rob :love:

[GypsyGoth]

I think I've only heard of Martin Freeman before.

[setanta]

Where's Bill Bailey? He was dying to play a dwarf. Pity.

I think I've only heard of Martin Freeman before.

Don't you watch eastenders? I think there is a guy from that in it

[GypsyGoth]

Don't you watch eastenders? I think there is a guy from that in it

Not really, I'd see the odd half episode each week. The EE guy doesn't look familar.

And I'd like to see Captain America: The First Avenger.

[Shaun]

omg Aidan Turner :love: he was in Being Human

[Locke.]

Won't be as good as the 3 movies they've already made because the book isn't.

[Callum]

Can't wait for this but I don't see why they need to make two films personally because the book isn't very long.

[setanta]

Won't be as good as the 3 movies they've already made because the book isn't.

Nah, I prefer the Hobbit, always have.

[Marsh.]

Are Ian McKellen and Cate Blanchett returning? I'm sure Galadriel was in the book.

But Sean from Eastenders? God, don't think I could take him seriously. And that line about him being a "champion sword fighter" just made me lol for some reason.

[King Gizzard]

They look a bit too comedy-ish for me..

Here the first look at the three dwarves from Peter Jackson’s two-part Hobbit adaptation, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There And Back Again, currently filming in New Zealand (images courtesy of our sister title Total Film). Apparently they’re Nori, Dori and Ori, though don’t ask us which is which (though they’re played by Jed Brophy, Mark Hadlow and Adam Brown You’ll notice there’s a big gap at the top of the picture which usually indicated the image has been taken with a cover shot in mind (that’s where mags can put logos or headlines) but the mind boggles which mag would want this hairy bunch as cover stars. Any suggestions?

[Lewis.]

Haha... They do look a bit odd. Like something out of epic movie.

[King Gizzard]

The guy on the far right of both pictures looks like the dude who played all the oompa loompas in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

[Marc]

Looks great!

[Locke.]

Gollum :amazed:

[InOne]

:amazed:

[Samuel.]

Looks really good. This might be the movie that'll actually get me to go the cinema in the first time in forever.

Amazing to think it's been about 10 years since the LotR trilogy.

[King Gizzard]

Had the tune to the hobbit song stuck in my head all day long

[fruit_cake]

I can't remember much about that book

[Locke.]

Not long to go now

[Marc]

Looks great :amazed:

[Mystic Mock]

It wouldn't be surprised that with how long it's took to make that it ends up being **** tbh, or never comes out like Final Fantasy Versus lol.

[King Gizzard]

the premiere's tonight, swear this wasn't out for another year :suspect:

[King Gizzard]

there is a new 8 minute trailer but that just seems stupid so I can't be bothered

[smeagol]

my preciousssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[King Gizzard]

4 star rating from Empire

http://www.empireonline.com/reviews/reviewcomplete.asp?FID=9834

[smeagol]

lots of mixed reviews so far, looks like most agree its good but not great and too long butt here is hope for next one being better,
i think the 2nd one will be the make or break if it sucks the 3rd will be doomed. hopefully it will be great,
anyone actually seen it yet here ?

my preciousssssssssss

[Niamh.]

Oh No not yet, I'm looking forward to seeing it though, I loved LOTRs

[Locke.]

Hoping to see it when it comes out here on thursday

[InOne]

Apparently it's a real grind to watch. 2 Hours 49 Mins :o

I read the Hobbit years ago and can't remember much about the story. But it was definitely aimed more at kids. I'm probably going to see it on Christmas Eve though so hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

[Marc]

Is it going to be split into 3 films?

[King Gizzard]

and apparently nothing much happens in the first hour of it but Cameron just wanted to keep it as close to the book as he could and just drag it out

I still can't get past the fact that most of the characters look the same and you can pretty much tell they're wearing make-up or whatever you call it

[Marsh.]

I'm surprised it's so long considering they're stretching it over 3 films.

Sounds like overindulgence.

[Smithy]

Saw it last week, think a lot of the first hour was really unnecessary and that

The eagles could have flown them to the mountain and saved us on another 2 films

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh2:

I liked the first hour, you kinda get to know all the characters and you get to see what Bilbo is like.

[reece(:]

I enjoyed it all, loved seeing Galadriel back.

:laugh: that's what I said too, still loved it though

[Scarlett.]

I just watched this on Netflix, I actually enjoyed it more than Lord of the Rings. I didn't mind the first hour just being the start of the adventure, Fellowship of the Ring was pretty much the same, it helps establish all of the characters.
