Most Tolkien purests don't like the fact the scouring of the Shire wasn't shown the way it was in the book. But then that's the case with anything left out or changed from any book to film. However the majority would then look past it due to the reasons it was left out and the fact it was still there in another form (the vision). You can't please everyone, especially purests. Films are a different media from books, not all works when crossed over. It's all easier said than done.

Don't forget the appendix since that's what the other two movies are made up of lol. This trailer makes me all happy inside.

I'm sure people will be confused by thinking 3 movies from that "short" book.

Man they really did a good job making elrond and galadriel look like they've not aged a day even though it was over a decade ago.

So smaug isn't even going to be in it till the second movie :( Or maybe the end of the first. Still think the first movie is going to be awesome but maybe not the best of the three.

I hope it's good. I'm not a Jacksonite but I do like a lot of what he did with LOTR so I guess the Hobbit will be watchable at least.

He should have stuck to films like Bad Taste and Braindead. He is in his element with low budget, comedic gore fests.

Saw it to day (Friday)
It was good, kept to the book for the most part.
Some comedy bits where in it, but they were fine.

Did you see it in 3d and 48FPS? If so how did you feel it was on your eyes?

Also is the tone similar to lotr? Because obviously this one was a childrens book and yet the rating is the same as lotr so i'm assuming it must be quite dark/violent.
