I'll be there. Can't wait to see Gandalf and the Shire again. I will say though that the actor playing Bilbo isn't as charming as Elijah's Frodo and the dwarves were just a few too many.
For a near-three minute trailer, there wasn't one bit that piqued my interest enough to cough up ten bucks. Not a hint of Smaug, even. Or is that being saved for the second half?
They made 3 movies from 1200 pages lotr. Granted there were a few omissions -- tom bom - I would have liked to have seen in there, but after watching the extended versions which didnt add much of anything, think it really shows they did a fine job adapting the material.
i'd be completely stoked for a 3 hour hobbit from jackson, but not so much two films.

the first movie is based on the Hobbit, the second is part Hobbit, and part Silmarilion and other Tolkien stuff to bridge the gap between the Hobbit movie and the LOTR films.
I've been happily surprised by movies with initially bad trailers but turned out great like Iron Man and Thor. This trailer is in no way close to being bad, just underwhelming but the expectations and hype is so high how couldn't it? I will be there opening day come rain or shine.

Ah, that's good to hear and def raises my interest.
Still. I'd prefer one true hobbit as merging numerous sources leaves the door open to a greater chance of mediocrity.
do you know if this was jackson notion all along or if someone a new line said, hey, why dont we shoot two movies at once for the price of 1.3567 since we know we got'em in the bag for both? (ala the egregious back to the future 3 biz model).
think the former would bode much better as far as entertainment value. tho I couldnt blame the later from a biz standpoint.
