They do need to be connected, but trailers can be deceiving too. Let's see when some more stuff is released. This does look very close to the lord of the rings, I'm cool with that.

I have the opposite reaction in that the tone seems too much like LOTR. The Hobbit was a fairly cartoony book - much more of a classic kids adventure than a sprawling epic like LOTR. It should be lighter, funnier and more whimsical than its sequel. I'm guessing Jackson feels a need to unite these two books that take place in the same universe, even though the writing style varies so greatly between them. Either way, he can bank on my $24.

Well, aren't you a risk-taker!

I'll go out on a limb and predict this movie will do pretty well.

I really wish that Guillermo Del Toro would have directed this instead of Peter Jackson. I really think he could have done a better job than PJ.

Nah. Del Toro is a good director, but not a great one. Peter Jackson is the right man for the job.

Seems the entire hobbit company save one are for comedy relief. Hope I'm wrong. Can't remember one goofball in the book.

What book?


A book is a medium of communicating information. Kind of like an iPad, but it needs fewer batteries. Books are no longer popular among the general populace, and are almost exclusively used by Communists, Liberals, Intellectuals and other Nazis.
