That's more than decent!

Joshie

2 and a half? Sweet!

AllStar87

2:30! That description we got was so short I thought we would get 1:30 tops.

Richard, do you not have a response to my posts addressing your complaints?

what... where?

Hye I seen them all so you can say what you want lolol, but yeah the trilogy isnt as bad as I thought its actually good, but it is very overrated IMO. I mean id say rotk is the only true epic one. The battles are breathtaking indeed.

A 5.5/10 isn't good by any stretch. That's a score that screams something is abysmal.

I've only read Fellowship Of The Ring and I understand all of the films perfectly.

Ok so you why can the ghosts attack us but we cant attack them? Why in the end of rotk they go to a ship to "move on"? Where do they go? Oh and in the theatrical Sauromon completely dissapears from the films, we dont see what happens to him. Also in Two Towers pipin and merry travel with the ents for more than an hour Id say practically the whole movie. I wont question the ents though, Theyre just a race in my head lolol

I've never read the books and even I know that the ship takes them away from Middle Earth. Hell, in the The Two Towers it's pointed out that motherfucking

Arwen is leaving Middle Earth. There's an example of talking being important. But you were bothered by it.

I'll give you the ghosts thing. It's the perfect definition of a deus ex machina.

Saruman wasn't in King because Jackson cut him out. He's present in the extended edition.

Edit: Christ, dude. Everything is explained about the ship taking them home.

The power of the Three Rings is ended.
The time has come for the Dominion of Men.

It's that simple. Pay attention next time.

New pictures and interview! :D

Carne

Wow, nice! Thanks for posting :)

TheDoctor

I wonder what's gonna happen when there's a lot of cut footage from the final Hobbit product as well.

Carne

This time around they'll have a much better idea of what to shoot and not. Every.single.scene.

While with LOTR, and it being such a massive production, many things were shot because they had forgot doing it earlier, or they felt they need some more etc, thus there was much footage cut.

I imagine they'll make an extended edition for both Hobbit parts, but likely less footage. So while we got around 80 minutes of extra LOTR we might get 30 minutes of extra Hobbit.

yesssssss! this pleases me...

TheDoctor

Well The Hobbit is under WB now. I read somewhere that this doesn't bode well for people wishing for extended editons/special features as good as LotR's.

Hess

The LOTR movies were also under WB.

TheDoctor

They were under New Line, which merged with WB in 2008.

Hess

Well I have one of the movies on VHS, and the WB logo is in the side of the box... that's weird :P

[Deleted User]

They couldn't pick a better choice for Bilbo, he's just perfect for the role.

Agreed.

[Deleted User]

Mirkwood scenes and Gollum's cave look incredible from what we have been seeing from the set reports. I haven't read the book myself, but I'm extremely pumped. I hope it turns out just as good as Lord of the Rings was.

I have not read 'The Hobbit' either, and I am only about halfway through Fellowship of the Rings.

I'd like to buy 'The Hobbit' to go with the LOTR trilogy set I have. And I can't decide whether to read it before or after seeing the film.

Darth Ledger

No if the trailer is released at 7pm Atlanta, GA time then California will be getting it at 4pm. I read an article promising 4pm then noted it was out of Los Angeles.

Several of those shots weren't even in the Extended Editions.

Bane

FUCK PETER JACKSON AND HIS EDITARDDDSS!!!!!!

Firefly

Mark Day.

Bane

Well obviously, I just figured that went kind of hand in hand.

Bane

Mark Day is the Hivemind, and he filters his shitty editing skills down to other editors.

I remember seeing that trailer on the fellowship DVD. The music at the end is so haunting to me....its like travelling ck to how i felt when i saw 'two towers....christmas 2002' and 'Return of the king...christmas 2003'.

I remember thinking i still had two years to enjoy the saga, and return of the king felt SOOOO FAR in the future, i couldnt imagine what spectacle awaited me.

So exciting

TheDoctor

Is it both parts?
