Oh my gosh, words actually can't express how excited I am. At all. However, I'm a little sad that it's going to be a trilogy. I don't know, but three movies for a three hundred page book seems excessive to me.
But Martin Freeman as Bilbo is perfect, and I'm still really looking forward to it.
The Hobbit makes me want to read all the books and I'm totally going to see it!
i htought that it was just a two part movie, the hobbit and an unexpected journey?
No, Peter Jackson has expanded it into a trilogy.
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THREE MOVIES OF EPIC AWESOMENESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be honest, I think three movies is a bit too much.
but still, if anyone can pull it off, it's peter jackson.
I was down in new Zealand at the time they were filming. Got to see some cool Orc and Elf and Dwarf battles. Be excited!
that's so awesome. *jaw hits the floor*
I think there is going to be just two parts
I've had a note on my calendar since the Hobbit movie was announced: in November, re-read The Hobbit. And btw, if anyone hasn't already watched them, you should watch the Hobbit video blogs. Very informative and fun.
IT WAS AGIDSKBSIKHFSKNSHABLDAGBUFISBEKNFNFOSHFSDLK!!!!!Martin and Richard were amazing!!
I LOVED when Richard sang "Misty Mountains Cold". Shivers. Seriously. Shivers.
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL.
The end: Hey, look! Erebor!! That was closer than we thought it would be...
*In reality*
two movies/two years and heartbreak later
I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET!!! My friends and I are going to see it sometime in the coming weeks. But I can officially say DIBS ON KILI
It was awesome, I can't believe we have to wait for the next part now, what am I gonna do:(?

Kili i s mine. One of my other friends has Fili. Elevatha you can have Balin
You know what? You can have Kili. Thorin's mine. *my precious* But either way, some crazy Kili-loving fangirl will hunt you down and take him for her own.
Mod
everyone, my sister has high dibbs on Kili, and I should warn you that she has a double-kai black belt in tae kwon do.
Whatever. I have a sonic. I can take her.
I really feel like a triolgy for The Hobbit is a not a good idea. The book is like three hundred page long or something like that. I think two should be the limit for The Hobbit films. What do you think about that?
You know, I think 3 works really well because they aren't just using information from the Hobbit itself. They are using backstory and TONS of information and scenes from the Appendixes and The Silmarillion. So yeah. 3 is perfect.
I have not seen the Hobbit yet due to parents who say it was terrible. The whole Goodreads world tells me otherwise, so I am itching to see it. Hopefully they will rent the movie on Redbox as soon as it gets off the theatres.
However, I have seen all the pictures of the actors and what they looked like in the movie and I have to say that the dwarves are just too handsome to be dwarves. I mean, look at Kili! That isn't a dwarf.

Congratulations, you are most like FILI, elder brother to Kili and nephew to Thorin Oakenshield, and a member of the royal line of Durin. Fili and his brother set out with little idea of what lay ahead of them, hungering for adventure. You tend to get easily bored by repetitive and mundane tasks and are therefore eager to seek out new experiences. A strong individualistic streak implores you to experience significant events and meet new people yourself, rather than living through the recounts of others. Personal freedom and the ability to follow where-ever inspiration leads is of great importance to you. You have a contagious enthusiasm about the causes you invest yourself in, which are usually orientated around enhancement of good for humanity, or advancement of humanitarian and social issues.
You are cheerful, energetic, and outgoing. When sharing your views you become very animated and use your wit, humour and skilled mastery of language to communicate effectively and win over your peers. You have good people skills with an adept intuition of other people’s emotions, able to read what’s hidden and see significance in their actions. These qualities are attractive to others and they enjoy being in your company. Imaginative and original, you love focusing on new ideas and new potentials, and have a wide range in interests. The pursuit of happiness is of high priority to you, for both yourself and others.

REALLY?! What didn't your parents like? Were they bored? Are they purists who wanted an exact copy of the book in movie form?(I know someone like that)

They are purists. I used to be one as well but now I am not. :(

You have to see it Cat! It's amazing!
I went and saw the movie with my boyfriend and was impressed I didn't read the book but my boyfriend did and said that it was put together well that it felt like some of the scenes in the movie were pulled right out of his head, that that's exactly how he imagined it while he was reading the book. I read the The Lord of The Rings books and was so disappointing in the movies they were butchered horribly. My parents bought the extended versions of the movies and that was a little better, but it still was disappointing.
Cat,Go see it, I think everyone has to see a movie themselves to know if its good or bad. I cant tell you how many times I didn't go see a movie cause someone said it wasn't any good and then later down the road I end up seeing it at a friends house or something and liking the movie.
Yeah, i agree with Deb. If you can, go and see the movie, and then form your own opinion on it. I personally thought that it was really good.

The film is not called The Silmarillion, its called The Hobbit.

But, as much as they are using the majority of the story and such from the Hobbit, they are also using some information and history given in the Silmarillion. Also, the Appendixes....
So, yes. It's the Hobbit. The main story of the film is the Hobbit. The name of the film is the Hobbit... but they are including information from other books to enrichen the experience and knowledge of the viewers.
Mod
Nope. No dibs on Kili. 'Tisn't allowed. There wo..."
Psh. No danger from me :P Everyone seems to love Kili O_o I prefer Bilbo and Gollum ^_^
It was awesome. Brilliant. I want to watch it a hundred more times and time travel into the future to watch the next ones. Also 100 times. Yeah, I have heaps more comments on it, good and bad ... but I'm tired and I can't be bothered writing yet another review on it ^_^ Read my discussions on the book topics.
Thorin's mine. I like Kili and all but...yeah. Thorin is mine.I do love Bilbo though
It is beyond brilliant. I loved it to bits.
My mom is sooooooo excited to see The Hobbit! So am I!
Oh, The Hobbit was brilliant! I didn't expect in to be cut in to three parts though! I haven't read the book yet but I can't wait to read it!
Mod
Not as short as Bilbo! ^_^ Psh, Cmon Erica, he's a dwarf :P.
I love the blunt the knives scene. It's not how imagined it, but it was so good
is was good! I watched it!
Mod
Blunt knives scene ... which one was that? xD
And lol @ Snowblue: It was beyond good :P
