The trailer doesn't really get me excited the way the Dark Knight Rises one did, but then again they have more time. Haven't read The Hobbit, so I'm a little worried about all how they'll juggle all the dwarves and other characters that are along for the ride.

That trailer got me a lot more excited then the Dark Knight Rises trailer did. Not that the DKR trailer was bad, it was great, it just....didn't impress me in the same way I suppose.

I'm a long-time Batman fan, but this fired me up even more than the Dark Knight Rises. Can't wait to see Smaug, Bard, the Battle of Five Armies and hordes of surly Dwarves. (is that phrase redundant?) Really looking forward to this.

Is that Aragon with them when Thorin begins to sing? Seems kind of tall and there is a lack of facial hair.

That's Kili (the dwarf firing the bow in the introduction montage). He just looks larger than the others because he's closer to the camera and standing up while most of the others are sitting.|

Mind, it'd be cool if Aragorn was in the movie, and given that he'd be in his 20's around this point in the time line (I think) it would still be feasible, but Jackson already has numerous old characters returning on-top of all the new characters (plus all the extra stuff from the addendums beyond the Hobbit itself) so I doubt our favorite 'actually 87 years old' ranger will show up. Mr. Jackson can only put so much into two films. xD

Thanks El. I wouldn't expect to see Aragon till they got to Rivendel, which would make sense story and time wise. And Legolas added in as they journey through Mirkwood.
Wanna see, wanna see, wanna see...
Though I forgot to check if ole PJ is getting Howard Shore to do this score as well. Gods, I hope so.

Defiantly a better trailer than TDKR.
I have a level of enthusiasm approaching that of when I first saw the LotR trailer. I plan to start reading "The Hobbit" to my youngest over the holiday to get the hype fully prepped in my house...
(As a related side note, go to Google maps. Ask for walking directions from "The Shire" to "Mordor".)
City of Heroes was my first MMO, & my favorite computer game.

Hope they were the worst bit's from the film and they are leaving the good stuff as a surprise, otherwise I can see myself being very disapointed and bordering on falling asleep at the cinema. Been looking forward to this film for a very very long time since first reading it over 35 years ago. The Peter Jackson trilogy didn't really live up to my expectations and I found myself comforting my animated version in a hope to rekindle my youth and restore my love for J.R.R Tolkien. Sometimes beloved childhood stories from the past need to be left there.
I don't think director's of today can properly recreate the book, due to their hands being tied, when the animation was brought out years ago directors had more freedom and didn't have to water it down, to this day the animation movie came across more frightning than the Peter Jackson trilogy which was how I remember the books. But with all the certifications today to get most people through the box office things need to be catered for, which can destroy a film for me. Normally I let these sort of movie's slide but when it's about a book that was one of the first I read as a child, then for some reason I tend to take it a little more personally, I don't know why but I just do.
Too many 50's to list here's a few you may know.

I think it is a given that the best bits were left out.

Note that The Hobbit is being split into two films. If they handle Smaug in the first film, then the Battle of Five Armies will probably be the climax of the second. So you won't see it until December 2013.|

This series of movies has become a part of my -- middle-age-hood? -- far more than the books were part of my childhood. I'm excited to see Middle Earth on screen again.

Frellin' 1 and 2 years away. So it'll be 2.5 before I see them, because I'll wait until they both have 2 DVDs worth of extra materials, just like I did with the LotR trilogy.
I *intentionally* stayed away from all three of them, then saw them in glorious awesomeness over 6 days after I finally got the third DVD set.
It was epic, and worth the wait for the right version (i.e., 15 hours of it. 
)
And so it will be that I will wait for 2.5 years to get the extended version the Hobbits, in glorious 5-6 hours of 2-3 days worth of viewing awesome.
Enjoy it when y'all go, but don't tell me.
/already know this story.
//didn't know latter half of Two Towers, and none of the Return of the King, so it was sweet newness... hard to come by these decades.

If the dwarves' singing is on the soundtrack, I want the soundtrack.

Ah, the extended versions. When I got them I watched them all back-to-back in one sitting. I think I managed to cram in a few of the documentaries/extras as well. I made nearly a literal day of it.

Now this I hope to be so much better than the LotR trilogy.
Loved the Hobbit book, hated the LotR books. Loved the Hobbit cartoon, hated the LotR cartoon.
The LotR movies to me where worth watching...once. But after that. Meh.
I hope the Hobbit lives up to my love of the book and cartoon.
