In a hole in the ground, there lived a HOBBIT TRAILER

Nope. One was obviously made before the other.

Maybe it's just the lighting or the close camera angles but it all looks kind of wierd and fake, like I'm obviously looking at some guys in prosthetics on a set. LotR had that look at times when it was at it's worst.
Return of the Jedi wasn't too bad.

Boo, Dante's thread was far superior.
There's a reason for that. A lot more effort was put into the the latter.
but duckroll, almost everyone on gaf agreed that Edmond's thread would be the official one ( including Sculli if i recall correctly.) That's why his was posted later.
That one should really be the main thread.
But this one has the better title.
) well,...Really? I'm open to suggestions!

All I agreed that was no thread should be made until the trailer was available. I just think people need their trailers when they hit.
But I do think he made a great thread, if not entirely to do with the trailer. If ducky won't merge it, I'd be happy to quote his whole OP into this thread's OP.

Yup. The inferior thread won. Lame, Sculli. The other thread was called in the other Hobbit thread. Bad form dude.

I was about to suggest that. Just quote the post or something.

The LOTR films were fine... but I've had my fill of its visual stylings. Surely Middle Earth could be done justice in a slightly different way?
I'm only a casual fan of the books though, so this was never going to get me all misty eyed with joy.
Actually I'm pretty sure they decided against doing a "bridge" film. Unless something changed, they don't have the rights to The Silmarillion or any other text besides the LotR and The Hobbit.
They decided to split the narrative of The Hobbit into two films.

Looks like Sculli stole the thread just to be the OP and get attention because they all agreed Edmond would do the OP prior
We did that when we had the Star Fox 64 3D conflict over at Gaming. Would be a cool thing to do, at least for those who didn't get to see it.

Ghotocol-level spying.

Can you just add Dantes OP to the first page...maybe as the second post after Sculli's OP?
I mean, he put a lot of work into it and it's great. Dude probably was polishing up as Sculli was throwing this up.

I like you Expendable, but that GHOTOCOL shit is obnoxious forreal.

Wow you're comin' off as a jerk. His thread was 6 mins later not hours, like who cares.
Back to the Future 3, Matrix Revolutions. Both blew.

Yep. You got me.
I was just hitting f5 like a motherfucker on all my possible sources and decided to share with GAF as soon as I saw it was up. Relax.
I'm all for merging the threads - as I said. Not a fuck will be given by me. Stop looking for a problem where there is none.

lol what? You're coming off as overly sensitive.
No, I understand.
But, the books were extremely similar in descriptions, they both take place in the same world, and the movies both have the same director.
So, I do think it is a bit silly.
Now, if it was the Simarillion....

Just noticed Sculli has 4 threads on the first page. Is that a record?

BttF3 > BttF2. That train scene is incredible
But to add to your post, PotC3 was the worst of the trilogy

Here's the problem with merging the threads. Because this was made before that, the OP will always remain the one here. That is why I saw no point in merging the threads as it is. There is no way to merge it with the "better thread" having that OP be the thread OP. One of the threads will have to be locked or the OP deleted, and I'll honestly rather keep the one which was made first since this is about a goddamn trailer.
If you have a better solution, let me know!

If Ghotocol wasn't the the best action blockbuster in years, I'd probably not be saying it as much. Thanks for helping spread it though!

But they weren't all shot back to back. I'm talking LotR style. Not Matrix/PotC style.

Yeah I think they're keeping some of his designs. That's probably the only thing I like about Del Toro, his visual designs.
I was worried when he was in charge of the Hobbit because I've already said a million times before that I'm not a big fan of his English films.
haha you got me.

For those wanting battles let's not forget that they are also adding the entire plot-line about the council of wizards fighting the necromancer (
) so that Gandalf has more to do than he did in the book (in which the events that will be shown here were only talked about).
In addition to that I do clearly remember some action occurring in the Misty Mountains as well as the big battle near the end. I would definitely bank on more action in the second movie than the first but I am sure you will still get enough to satisfy you in this first offering. Plus let's be honest, the LOTR movies were fantastic for many more reasons than just their massive fight scenes.
