gkgyver 1,645 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Are you pulling this out of your ass? Because that sounds pretty awful.How would Galadriel know he's there? Telepathy? And what about Radagast, isn't he there as well? Does that mean both Gandalf and Radagast get their ass wipped by a granny dwarf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying I wouldn't watch it because I still don't have my home theater set up. Need an appropriate TV stand and speaker stands. Also the room I planned on setting it up in isn't really ideal. I'm contemplating doing it in my bedroom, which would make things even more crammed than they already are.That would rid us of Koray for a couple of years.Zimmer would still be here though.

Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 The trailer was indeed a mixed bag, and it's quite curious how obvious the CGI is at times, considering how far the technology has come... But I guess the overuse of it and the already exaggerated digital look of the film might be working against it in that sense. Also, while I loved seeing Smaug, I think it was quite a mistake to show so much of him already. It feels like all the build-up there has been has dissapeared almost instantly. I wonder if it's because they're very insecure about his design and want to lower down the already impossible expectations a bit. At least we don't get to hear his voice yet, I'm glad they are saving that still. Although personally I would have preferred to hear his voice instead of actually seeing him. Something like the reveal of Vermithrax on Dragonslayer could have worked so much better. Build up, build up, build up and then BOOM!But I'm still very excited about hearing the exchange between Bilbo and Smaug on screen. That has to be one the most exquisite dialogues of all time, written or on film. In fact, most Tolkien is like that: Every word feels so carefully chosen and put with a reason, it's simply a delight to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 It's funny coz it's trueMaybe the real reason the cgi looks so shit in general is because his visual effects people deliberately knock it together without care - in preparation for having it all scrapped two weeks before release.

Jackson has his faults but I can't imagine why he would want to show this much of Smaug in the trailer. Remember how closely guarded the likes of Gollum and Shelob were? Hell, we never even saw Azog before AUJ hit cinemas, albeit a slight glimpse in a TV spot. I have to think Warner put pressure on him to have a large Smaug reveal in the trailer, and thus he had WETA knock something together which either won't be in the film or doesn't properly represent Smaug.

Alan 689 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Wasn't there a situation like this on Fellowship? A writer or producer that was left over from the days when LOTR was going to be 2 films hung on to their credit for FOTR but then disappeared. A lot of history repeating itself with these films it seems! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,355 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 The MPAA has rated "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Extended Cut" PG13 for "extended sequences of intense fantasy action violence, frightening images and fleeting nudity". Source: http://www.filmratings.com/downloads/cara_rating_bulletin.pdfSo I'm guessing the nudity is either a Dwarf butt (mooning Rivendell elves perhaps?) or - more likely - the Goblin King's butt as he uses his toilet throne?
