I'm definitely looking forward to this. Seems like it will have plenty of entertainment and should finish this off well.

ACertainStark · 2014-07-29, 23:26

Really liked the teaser trailer. I've enjoyed The Hobbit movies just as much as the original LOTR films and I'm excited to see how this links to the original trilogy, too.

Dat music.

Then I have the Desolation of Smaug EE and Battle of the Five Armies EE to look forward to. Smaug is my 2nd favorite Middle-Earth movie.

Xagzan · 2014-07-30, 10:06

I haven't see the DoS EE go up on Amazon yet. I've been watching cause I assume it has to come with a Smaug figure and I want it.

GDB · 2014-07-30, 12:08

Don't expect it to before October or November. It usually comes out just before the next movie so they can get hype it.

Ithekro · 2014-07-30, 12:20

Even in later novels, Tolkien would kind of gloss over the end of battles. He might get to a high point or the turning point and then skip the rest with a sentence or two. Mind you he was a First World War veteran, and those guys got a true taste of horror verses their images og honor and glory given to them in story and by the oldest generations about the likes of the Napoleonic and Crimean Wars

No I know but the preorders are generally available much earlier.

GDB · 2014-07-30, 13:07

I ordered the EE for the first Hobbit like, right as it came up for pre-order. Just checked Amazon, and I ordered it August 5th. So I'd expect pre-orders to go up within the next two weeks or so.

Bilbo isn't singing it, it's the original version:

This. Shall. Be. GLORIOUS.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2014-11-06, 22:15

Awesome. Well, we shall get to see the White Council confront Sauron, which should be pretty awesome. Have to admit, I'm pretty keen to see that.

Also, at 1:50, seems like Tauriel gets the chop from Thranduil.

Flower · 2014-11-06, 22:28

Thing is though ... as far as I remember the White Council never knew that the Necromancer was Sauron - they did not make the connection until after the Necromancer fled and suddenly activity and smoke started pouring out of Barad Dur....

Or am I remembering this incorrectly?

Not that I will mind seeing the White Council shown going after Sauron directly, mind you. ^^

Great trailer. I've enjoyed The Hobbit so much. It'll be bittersweet no matter how it ends knowing the Middle Earth Saga is done.

Wait till Pete makes his 8-movie adaptation of The Silmarillion.

If he can get the rights. As it is, some of the other wizards had to remain unnamed in the films because he couldn't get the rights to name them.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2014-11-07, 01:41

Which is really.. really.. really stupid if you think about it.

He seemed to imply he's tired of this big, bombastic films and will be going back to small ones after this is done with.

Mr Hat and Clogs · 2014-11-07, 02:05

He says that, but he also said he wouldn't do the Hobbit as well IIRC. If his studio wants him to do it, he'll most likely end up doing it. That said I think the Silmarillion is a little too big to be a series of movies. It'd be like stringing a bunch of the old Bible epics like Moses and Ben Hur together.

But there are a couple of stories that would make awesome standalone movies - but I'm stuffed if i can remember the character names. The Elf and the Human romance one? I'd like to see the Fall of Gondolin with the dragons and balrogs and so on.

Chaos2Frozen · 2014-11-07, 02:42

There's not a single mention of Smaug in the trailer? Other than the burning of Laketown.

Guardian Enzo · 2014-11-07, 02:43

Heh, I was kidding ya know...
