Hobbit Trailer looks crap
The new hobbit trailer looks very unappealing. Too much CGI In fact even some the of the elves are CGI. It totally ruins the movie.

It does.
I'm linking it here to make access easier for people who haven't come across it yet and want to waste two minutes (and eventually perhaps three hours) of their precious life. As I said elsewhere, after seeing it Tauriel is the least of my concerns. It looks and sounds like a bad computer game. Seriously the feeling I got is I'm not sure I want to sit through it in the cinema. I probably will though, because hey, hot dwarves.

Hello Folks!
My opinion: Well, it's obviously not yet finished. The CGI. Especially on Smaug who otherwise seems to be very good!! Action looks over the top again, ok, but we knew that would be happening. But REALLY..: The locations look amazing. Mirkwood, Thranduils Halls, Dale, Esgaroth. I thought even though the CGI was not perfect, they were beautiful. And Thranduil is pure AWESOMENESS! Cheers |

Welcome to the Downs, Arphen! Enjoy discussing stuffs!
Comments on the trailer: 0:22 - MAJESTIC THORIN!!! 0:24 - Bilbo didn't bother closing the barrels with the Dwarves?! What a nice friend. And are the elves blind not to notice??? 0:27 - why are the black butterflies blue? 0:29 - why are there chimpanzee-like humans jumping on trees? Are those meant to be Elves? 0:36 - that Legolas is so clearly animated. Seriously? 0:40 - Return to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Fluffy's back!!! 1:23 - they can't even make a thrilling escape sequence without a fight in it? 1:24 - and of course Legolas is pwning all the baddies. 1:25 - can you actually jump that high in RL, we wonders. 1:52 - I love how noiselessly Bilbo walks. Conclusion: this trailer should be called Everything Wrong with DOS in 2 Minutes Or Less.

I take it the huge thing trying to get into the room that the Dwarves are barricading (in a repeat of the Cave Troll scene from "Fellowship", I might suggest) is a bear, perhaps even Beorn himself?
But this sums it up for me: "It is not our fight." "It is our fight." This appallingly simplistic, cliché-ridden dialogue has got to be the worst part of these films, worse than shonky CGI Elves turning up everywhere they're not needed. "What if it's a trap?!?" "It's undoubtedly a trap." Spare me. I thought the recent poster of Bilbo in the wilderness before Erebor actually looked quite nice, incidentally. Also Bard looks like the love child of Thorin and Legolas, which come to think of it will probably please a lot of fan fic writers I honestly thought Thorin was talking to himself for a second. EDIT: I'd like to add that a thread title like "Hobbit Trailer looks crap" is one of the reasons I joined this forum. We'd get crucified on TORN...

Like the ludicrous Chutes-and-Ladders(TM) bit in the first movie, PJ takes implausibility to new levels with the uncovered barrels shooting the rapids. Have you ever canoed or kayaked down a rapids? It is imperative you keep your balance with oars, or else you are arse over teat and drowning. A barrel would be capsized in a matter of seconds. That whole gravity thing.

I've seen that Bilbo/Smaug scene before--in Jurassic Park.

This movie looks hilarious! This may be a bit unbelievable, but I love it for all the wrong reasons.
