I reread the various comments, took in the positive considerations, and I am still hopeful for the movie. I will certainly be in line the first day or weekend, without a doubt. I will support it, I will watch it a couple times, and then I will buy it. That said…I can understand the need to create instant visual differences with the dwarves, younger dwarves with shorter beards waiting for battle honors to earn their beards…but Nori, with that hair style, looks like a clown…all opinions aside, and I tried to take the high road, it is what it is, dumb. But that will not make or break the movie. If there were other pics to consider then I would not mention that stupid hair style…I patiently wait for more images, more data…I will wring my hands, and gnash my teeth as I wait to consume the next bits…I am and always will be a fan…I wait for a classic to come to the screen and show the mundanes why we are interested in all this fantasy stuff anyway.

John I think not, he is a bit older and the eyes were all his :) (wiki clip) "Robert O'Reilly (born 25 March 1950; age 61) is an actor best known for his portrayal of Klingon Chancellor Gowron on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. His first Star Trek appearance was in 1989 and his last was in 2003. He played Gowron for nine years. When he first auditioned for the role, he attempted to portray him as cold and calculating, but feeling this was not as successful, at his next audition, he flared his eyes aggressively (which Gowron has now come to be known for) and successfully obtained the role."
