Best Singing Dwarves since Snow White.Looks preatty good. Still wonder about if needs two movies though.
The Books are ace , just like LOTR the films will bore me to death.

same here, although for most it's the opposite
True that, just checked both their Rotten pages and the Ian Holm one looked a lot better.I'm a little worried that Martin Freeman doesn't have the charisma of Ian Holm. Hopefully this trailer is missing some of his better scenes.
However, Richard Armitage looks awesome as Thorin. In fact, the dwarves in general looked to be staffed by excellent character actors.
I found Towers really boring mid-way as well, what with the 5-paragraph descriptions of an object or scene or part of the city that the main characters don't even deal with being abound.90% of the time, I agree with the whole book are better the movie thing (most recently with harry potter, I couldn't stand the 5th and 6th movies compared to the books) but I think LOTR is one of the few exceptions to that, for whatever reason the books just never did it for me. I read hobbit and fellowship then gave up halfway through two towers about hmmz.... early 90's sometime.
Loved the three LotR movies, probably my favorite fantasy films ever.
I liked the trailer but did some of the characters strike anyone as being CG? Same with some of the environments. Maybe it was just because I was watching it on the small view but it if is CG then I'll be quite upset. The three LotR movies, while of course using CG for a good deal of things, still had fantastic costume designs and set pieces, as well as dat landscape. To CG some things entirely (like some of the characters struck me as CG looking) would really hurt. It'll probably still be fantastic but disappointing nonetheless.
Hopefully I'm wrong though.
The only thing that caught my eye special effects-wise was the fake looking rubber on Bofur's face, lol. (the fat dwarf)
