By Mark "RorMachine" Cassidy - 7/7/2012


The adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.

Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.

Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s "precious" ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities … A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Thing like 'movie of the year'...meh don't be ignorant. It is overhyped and all what I have seen so far is very boring. Then people say stuff like the Dark Knight Rises trailers are so dull and boring blabla...well if you compare that with this movie...this one tops it. But it may be a very good film. I will definately check it out. It is just definately not interesting right now...looks more like a dances with wolves or drama movie poster and stuff.
christoV - 7/7/2012, 9:53 AM
I'm just irritated by everyone saying stuff like TDKR best movie ever and Hobbit is the most epic...blabla. Yeah all are epic but let's leave it open.

Good posters coming out this week.

Cant wait for this!!

i dare anyone to sit through the previous lord of the rings without falling asleep.
overhyped rubbish and badly executed special effects.
THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 7/7/2012, 10:02 AM
@christoV
Peter Jackson stays extremely close to the books so people saying that this is going to be movie of the year have most likely read the book which is verrrrry good.
christoV - 7/7/2012, 10:05 AM
@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 Yeah I understand that, but people say like it's just that and nothing else. People have to stop with annoying eachother. It's so overhyped
95 - 7/7/2012, 10:07 AM
@thetrojan I have failed to get through the first film. The story isn't really my "thing". But The Hobbit interest me. It'll be the only film in the franchise I'll see. Smaug!
Sabconth - 7/7/2012, 10:12 AM
@marvel72

I don't think so somehow. The hobbit is a great book, but it doesn't have the sweeping scale or epic stakes of the lord of the rings trilogy.

It's merely about a bunch of funny looking dwarfs who want their gold back from a dragon.
Ranger14 - 7/7/2012, 10:16 AM
"i dare anyone to sit through the previous lord of the rings without falling asleep.

Thanks for the laugh. I guess you lose on that dare. I have watched the trilogy three or four times and have never fallen asleep in watching it.

Excellent poster!

"It's merely about a bunch of funny looking dwarfs who want their gold back from a dragon."

Wow...how some people just get that out of the book is beyond me. It is much more about the epic journey along the way than it is about the destination. One of the reasons I love the way they titled the film. It is the forging of friendships and setting the lore that prequels LOTR. All, which I find very epic. Different strokes.

darkknight1939-

The one thing I'll never forgive Jackson for is in ROTK extended edition- Gandalf's staff being broken by the Witch King.


The Hobbit should be fantastic. Can't wait.

I thought the same thing when I saw the poster. That pic that you posted is one of the best paintings of Gandalf the Grey. John Howe painted it in the late 80s; unfortunately, it was stolen sometime in the late 90s while on display.

Here's the story on the theft:

looks good.
ckal - 7/7/2012, 10:23 AM
Sure, if you don't like a movie you can easily simplify and make the premise sound as stupid as possible. You can do this for any movie.

For example: Batman is about a guy who dresses up in a bat costume who fights a guy who dresses up like a clown and a guy who dresses up like a scarecrow.

See how easy that is?
sahin86 - 7/7/2012, 10:25 AM
nice but gandalf looks a bit weird. either his head is too small or his neck too long.
MovieMann - 7/7/2012, 10:39 AM
Waiting for a MAN OF STEEL ComicCon poster.

It seems that it would come soon since the two Con Poster reveals so far have been Warner Bros. Properties.

But then again, In the ComiCon Saturday line up they didn't even have a description for the film. So they might be keeping the whole thing on lockdown in order to create more shock value.

@thetrojan

I realize that is just your opinion. But your crazy calling these movies rubbish with poorly exicuted special effects. I had my father watch all 3 of these movies and the entire time he thought gollum was a real (very skinny) actor with make-up. It's one thing to fool someone momentarily in a film with special effects, it's another to blur the the line of what's real and what isn't consistently for 3 consecutive films. These movie were far ahead of their time and the effects they achieved then still holdup to (if are not far better than) the effects we see today.
pud333 - 7/7/2012, 10:48 AM
Wow. Another boring image from The Hobbit. I'm sure the movie will be great, but this isn't that inspiring.
Joker08 - 7/7/2012, 10:56 AM
@Stormbreaker:

John Howe really is amazing - I never knew about the theft though. It's a shame to read about how the recovered pieces were treated. Thank you for the link to the story.
Gamester76 - 7/7/2012, 10:58 AM
Gandalf in this poster becomes the next "Strutting Leo" in 3... 2... 1...
Nubase - 7/7/2012, 11:07 AM
i can understand when some peeps said that the lord of the rings trilogy was long etc, l read the books way back in the day and it was the most difficult read ever, god knows hows long it took but when l heard that these movies were going to be made it inspired to finish it off which l did.

But the hobbit however is an easy read and l urge anyone on this site who have not read it to check it out before the movies come out, believe me you will love the movie more and hobbit is more action adventure then say the fellowship of the ring
Ric - 7/7/2012, 11:17 AM
so ... [frick]ing ... awesome ... <3

loved the book and looking so forward to this!!!
AlSimmons - 7/7/2012, 11:22 AM
I love the placement of the sun. Looks like it's coming form his staff. I also like the pastel feel.
darin1174 - 7/7/2012, 12:10 PM
So awesome. I could watch that trailer 100 times and it still wouldn't get old. Can't wait

how is the lord of the rings trilogy boring?

i personally think its one the greatest trilogies ever.

-the gofather trilogy

-star wars trilogy

-the lord of the rings trilogy

-toy story trilogy

-back to the future trilogy

-the millennium trilogy(the girl with the dragon tattoo,who played with fire & who kicked the hornets nest.)
musashi - 7/7/2012, 1:45 PM
Star Wars is a trilogy? Lol. Let's not start the prequels debate!

Looking forward to this. New Zealand is Middle Earth!

marvel72 - 7/7/2012, 1:48 PM
@ musashi

the original films yes are a trilogy,the prequels don't exist to me. :D
musashi - 7/7/2012, 3:02 PM
@Marvel72 agreed. Just busting your balls bro. Although I'd like to see them as originally intended and without all the pointless tinkering! Lucas should offer all the different versions.
marvel72 - 7/7/2012, 4:22 PM
@ musashi

its alright mate,you bust balls i bust balls.

its swings & roundabouts to me.
SoulReaver - 7/7/2012, 6:07 PM
@thetrojan: I've sat through all three extended editions of the films multiple times. Challenge accepted and beaten.
