I haven't watched any sneak peeks or trailers since the 2nd one.

On the way home from getting my son from school we saw a big Hobbit poster, and he asked who my favorite character was in the LOTR. Truly a difficult question.

1. Legolas for pure badassery.
2. Sam for companionship
3. Aragorn for Bravery

My favorite characters. But it truly is a tough question.

Got tickets for midnight long booked and then That Saturday going to see it in IMAX 3d 48fps. Will find out just how different that is.

It was more a question of why would you expect him to look vastly different? They're not going to reinvent the wheel and especially so when they're going off how Tolkien described him (also how he has been drawn by Howe and Lee).

It might just be my old eyes and imagination, but the Hobbit Gollum DOES look a bit different to me than the LOTR Gollum. I knew that some of the facial features of Elijah Wood (esp. the eyes) were reflected in Gollum for LOTR. I could swear that the Hobbit Gollum reflects Andy Serkis slightly. Am I the only one thinking this?

He looks different because he still had possession of the ring which made him younger looking(for 500years not bad)...he aged after losing the ring plus was tortured by Sauron too...just like Bilbo started to age after giving up the ring to Frodo

You can see serkis in there maybe even a little more than before. What I was saying was why expect a different design from Lord of the Rings. He does look a little younger but mostly just the design looks more refined.

Yeah it's been more than ten years and the tech has advanced so much, he looks so much more photoreal now.

I'm thinking I maybe want to see this is 2D first to judge it as a film, then 3D to see the difference...

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Samwise was always my wifes favorite character.
Mine is hard to say so I'll go with the true dynamic duo of Legolas and Gimli.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

No interest in seeing this in 3D but I'm assuming there won't be a 2D IMAX?

 

[The Josh]

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

As far as I know there won't be.

 

[Irvy]

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

Yeah that sucks I was hoping just for imax in 2D, are all the imax screenings in that high frame rate? I hate all this gimmick crap I just want to go enjoy the movie as I did with lotr.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

It makes perfect sense to me that, in the Hobbit, Gollum would look younger and have bluer eyes than he would in LOTR.

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

my favorite characters of Lord of the Rings are Peregrin Took and Merry But specially Pippin, he is my favorite of the movies.

Did you see that Appendices scene of the Orc army vs Dwarf army outside of Moria from over 100 something years past...This is looking so freakin great!...In over 45 years I have never anticipated a film more in my life than this one...

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread

I think what I'm most excited about is the Smaug design.
