Even some Legolas in there…

I couldn't crosspost to the TMP plus boards, and I know some of you folks don't go there, so I re-posted it here too.

I'd like to see what GW does as a fig for Smaug.

Well, that looks all well and good ! Roll on December !

I expect Smaug to be finecast and very pricey.

…and close to 5' long!

Clearly making the Elves more involved in the story than originally written. But I am OK with that if it makes for good cinema.

The movie has all the eye-candy effects. That will probably make it worth seeing on the screen. It looks like PJ will continue to murder the story line though.

I'm looking forward to it.

I thought they had made the Elves into Moria type gonlins then way they move through the trees. :-(

Looking forward to this.

Looks like there is a LOT of jumping in this movie…
It seems like every other scene had someone jumping in it.

I can't wait for the scene where Beorn transforms into a Tiger I and lightsaber-duels MechaSmaug over lava. That was always my favorite part of the book.

Looks like good old Armand got the scoop on this one:

Red head Ninja Female Elf what's not to like….Smaug looks pretty good too….

I have no compliants …. I tried to reread LotR after the movies came out and I for one could no longer deal with the thee s and alas s and all that other old English stuff

P J has made the Hobbit accessable for the masses and I am glad

Oh good, more jumping…. that will improve all the running and falling. Maybe we can get some fart-jokes and big explosions and emo-elf boobies. The masses will love it, so it must be good!
