    I'm pretty excited. I will admit that I haven't read the Fellowship books, but I did read the Hobbit and I am very excited to see the movie! I think I should probably read the book again this year!

    I am also excited that it's Peter Jackson returning as director.

    Guillermo del Toro would have been great but it being the same team that made the original makes it even more exciting :-)

    I'm still throwing a tantrum that they gave us that FABULOUS trailer for Christmas but are making us wait until NEXT Christmas for the movie.

    I am so glad it is the same production team. The trailer was amazing got me so excited to see the movie until I was slapped in the face with the release date. Just knowing I had to wait a year really sucked. Hobbit and LOTR were my favourite books growing up. Read the Hobbit when I was 10, this was the first real series of books I begged my parents to buy for me so I could read them all. I totally loved the extended versions of LOTR, very very little disappointed me about the movies and I am looking for the same from The Hobbit.

    I'm in the excited boat as well! This, Avengers and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.

    OK, OK, I know that ABVH is going to be terrible... But I hope that it will be terrible in the most awesome of ways.

    I had never even HEARD about Abe Lincoln Vampire Hunter until I stumbled across the trailer. It looks really good to me!

    I'm actually excited to watch Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter too... I'm thinking that it's going to be the most terrible, funny, ridiculous movie ever!

    I am so excited! I cannot wait until it comes out!

    Is it me, or does Thorin look more like a Klingon than a Dwarf? Just my opinion...

    Hobbit lovers: WTF is Evangeline Lily's character? I might be outraged if I had read the book.

    Yeah, creative license should definitely not be taken, but we will see what they do with her.
