Question of the Day, October 18, 2010

[Jared]

Ill be honest, I dont know what much about the Hobbit, but, I certainkly not against it

 

[niege]

I want to see it so bad i just hope that i won't cry in the end as i did reading the book

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

A Smaug level meh here.

 

[LazerFX]

Adding another vote to the 'Keep it as books', especially given the awful mess that was made of the Lord of the Rings movies.

 

[Queen Michael]

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!

 

[Phoenix09215]

Although I can count the books I have read on my hands, this is my favourite! I loved the LOTR films as well and I can't wait! eeeeeeepp

 

[Jonluw]

I'm interested, but not super-psyched. I feel this option is missing in the poll.

 

[Hashime]

I slept through most of the first two, liked the third, and am indifferent to this movie.
The play was excellent though.

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

I am actually really, really hyped. I love all Tolkein's books, and massively enjoyed the films too. Also The Hobbit was the first Fantasy book I remember reading (or having read to me, I was very young), and the end still brings tears to my eyes.

I am very pleased to hear it's going ahead after all this uncertainty, and will eagerly await any further developments.

EDIT: Oh 600th post...um yay

I'm most interested in seeing the intelligent dragon portrayed in a modern movie. Dragons today are all portrayed as basically flying t-rexes, while I prefer a more DND take on dragons where they are highly intelligent and skilled in arcane arts.

I didn't vote I'm interested in seeing it and I enjoyed the animated The Hobbit.

 

[Rakkana]

0_0 There's going to be a what!!?!?!?! WHY WASN'T I TOLD SOONER!?!?!?!?

YES! I'M ECSTATIC!!!!!

 

[Bat Vader]

I am very happy The Hobbit is finally going to be made. It is a bit sad Del Toro will not be directing it but at the same time it feels like fate that Peter Jackson is directing it.

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

I liked the Hobbit more the LOTR (books)
If the Hobbit film is anything like the LOTR films the win win win.

 

[harv3034]

Parden my language but, FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for this movie since the LOTR movies hit the screen.
I watched (and LOVED) the anamated version for so long that I will be uterly heartbroken if this movie isn't absolutly amazing.


wow... I just went all Fanboy on this didn't I...

 

[The Great JT]

I'm glad to see more Lord of the Rings on the way. Plus, nothing against Mr. Del Toro, but let's face it, Peter Jackson will give The Hobbit the same love he gave Fellowship/Two Towers/Return of the King.

 

[linwolf]

The poll miss an option for people who love the books, and have a mild interest in the movies.

 

[mexicola]

I can't imagine the movie generating as much hype as the LotR but if they do nearly as good of a job as they did with the originals, it should be well worth my time. Not terribly excited about it, but it should have some nice visuals to rest the eyes on.

 

[sir.rutthed]

Really wish Del Toro could have been on board, but Jackson should do quite nicely anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't this be the first movie in quite a while to feature an awesome fight with a dragon laying waste to a city?

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

It sounds good. I just hope it's not short! XD
