Sure better reading The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings than Harry Potter and other modern fantasy novels.

I *REALLY* want to see this.
Watched the clip and had chills running down my spine and the hair on the back of my neck was standing on end and that's a pretty good trick right now considering how short it is at the moment.
It's going to be so worth the $$ to go and see the move.

' Wrote:I gotta say, the LOTR movies are probably some of the best book to movie conversions out there.If you get the LOTR trilogy with the extended scenes, it's even more accurate (unless that's what you meant). I believe each one is about 3 hours long.

To think this film is being made not more than 40 minutes drive from us in Matamata, 20 minute drive for Christian.
I liked the LOTR triliogy, and read the Hobbit through as a kid.
I'm eager as to see Kiwi stuff on the big screen again. And what better than one of the more epic literatures of our time? :yahoo:

I have to agree with Mick on this one, I REALLY want to see the movie also.
One thing is unclear to me, why Gandalph looks the same?
I remeber him saying the ring kept the hobbit younger for 60 years. So, this whole time thing is a bit confusing.

Yep, THE "RING" does have the effect of allowing the wearer to live longer, but they end up feeling 'thin and stretched' to quote the "Silmarillion", which I have read fairly recently.
As to why Gandalf looks the same, SPOILER ALERT --- don't read on if you haven't read LoTR.
It appears that Gandalf, along with two others, is a holder of one of the 'Three rings of the Elven Kings'.
That aside from the fact that he is a Wizard, would mean that he would also have 'extended life' due to the Ring he wears.
That's how I see it at any rate.

I understand that, but Gendalf looks the same in Hobbit and LOTR. As far as I understand, in Hobbit Bilbo did not find the ring. Lets have it as a starting point. At that point Gendalf looks like what he looks. Then Bilbo wears his ring and gains 60 years (for 60 years the ring was poisoning him, giving him unusual long life), but Gendalf still looks as if he just skipped those 60 years. Something here just doesn't add up.
I just read Mickk's reply...

Will admit it looks strange as hell that he looks near exactly like he is in LOTR and Hobbit with Gandalf's appearance.
Just trim the God damned beard.
