I adored the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I can't wait for The Hobbit.
Darn! I wanted to see the different types of the characters:
Quick prompt:
Bilbo: ISfP
Gandalf: INtp
Aragorn as depicted by Viggo was too soft, especially his voice and mannerisms if you take into account his initial Strider role.
Agreed that Sean Bean did an amazing job of Boromir and that Faramir was miscast hence appeared insipid.
Wow, Guillermo Del Toro at least stuck around to lend a hand in writing the screenplay. I love his work, save for Pan's Labyrinth, and he would've been an awesome choice for the director. His films typically have a Tim Burtonesque feel for them. No matter, I'm looking forward to his Pacific Rim.
I thought the fantasy aspect was kinda lame, though many of its concepts were later perfected in Hellboy 2. And the latter film was also in English, so I wasn't distracted by annoying subtitles.What didn't you like about Pan's Labyrinth?

elfboy said:agreed, wouldn't exactly call him weak, but Aragorn certainly did not have a very kingly presence. I hated Feramir too, the entire movie I just wanted to slap him.
I guess we have very different tastes. It's one of my favorite movies, and I didn't really like the Hellboys much (although I love the graphic novels), they seemed goofy to me in comparison to the tone of the original medium.
I also started out adverse to subtitles (typical American!), but after seeing that movie, and a few others that were subtitled, I now don't have an issue with them if the movie is good.
I had trouble hating Faramir, because his father treated him so poorly. However, the movie kind of raped the character; he had originally been one of my favorite book characters, and I was disappointed by the movie treatment.
Because of my overall disappointment with LOTR, I'm not really that excited with the thought of The Hobbit. (If the cleansing of Dol Guldur becomes just one more "Gauntlet" video game bughunt using wizards for firepower, I'll be disgusted.) However, I'll have to watch the vid when I get home just to hear the music. I'm expecting to get more pleasure out of the next Star Trek and the next James Bond pics; if The Hobbit does better than the fourth Underworld movie (which I have bad suspicions about), I'll be pleased.
that made me dislike him more, not less. his actions were dictated by approval from others, even to the point of being willing to sacrifice his own life for a father who didn't care about him and saw him as a tool. he character was weak and pathetic (not as in story character, as in Feramir's character as a man) and I have no sympathy for people who throw their lives away
You have GOT to be kidding me...!

The Hobbit is now going to be three movies, not two.
... i guess they could smell the gravy train.
I. Know. Seriously. Three movies?!
I love Harry potter but I blame the last movie for this latest trend.
To put it in perspective, freaking Lord of the Rings was three movies, and the book was zillions of times longer than The Hobbit.
I hates him. I hates him, my precious. Roast him alive and stew him in a pot; fry him, boil him and eat him hot!
I'm sure there will be a lot to enjoy but...The Hobbit is so lightweight compared to LOTR. Three movies? Two was more than enough. They are going to stretch it and change it so much. Hm. :S
