Your favorite moment from the new trailer right now.
|
Can't Post

You don't have to pick just one (I won't be!  )
- Thorin saying "I have the only right."
- Bilbo picking up the Ring, looking at it in horror.
- Thorin holding back Bilbo in Erebor
- And, of course, Smaug's voice
Cinematographically, I would say my favorite shot is a tie between the sweeping shot of the dwarves running to the cliff to see Dale, and the shot of the Bridge of Menegroth..er..I mean the Woodland Realm. 
Who am I kidding, I liked it all.
Do any stand out for you in particular?

"His name, is Bilbo!" - Balin
ties in nicely with the line in the AUJ trailer "My name, is Bilbo Baggins."

I've had to see the trailer ... again!
Okay here's my pick:
- Bilbo and Gandalf's "courage" conversation - simply wonderful ...
- Beorn bursting out of the woods
- The Orc army marching shot - so "mordorish"!
- Thorin halting Bilbo with the sword
- Bard's defiance towards Thorin especially "He cannot see beyond his own desire!" - the chills!
- Smaug's voice too 
But I agree, the trailer overall was breathtaking

It is so expressive of his relationship w/ Bilbo AND w/ Thorin.

A quick thought on "Bilbo looking at the ring in horror" - speculation
[In reply to]

Was wondering what would make Bilbo look at his treasure in a repulsed way? This is something he gets very attracted to and has no reason to dislike.
I wonder if something coincides with the Dol Guldur plot?
Example: Gandalf nosing around Dol Guldur, The Necromancer becomes aware of him and attacks. As he attacks the Ring could grow larger and fall off of Bilbo's finger or fall out of Bilbo's pocket or something?
It kinda ties the two storylines together a bit more.

"Step into the light [where I can get a look at you]"
Gives me hope that, like Riddles in the Dark, the conversation with Smaug will be very faithful to the dialogue in the book.

...you're on to something, but...if the ring just grows I think Bilbo would look very surprised, but not as horrified as he did. I think being near Dol Guldur, the ring slips of his finger (trying to get back to its master) and when Bilbo picks hit up he sees what Gandalf saw in FOTR (the Great Eye). That would explain the horrified, shocked and scared look on his face.

I love the trailer! Excellent trailer - shows enough without spoiling. But if I have to pick just one moment:
Black screen. Silence... Is the trailer over?
Well...thief!
Mind blowing. I can't wait to see the actual scene

I thought it was a refrence to Bilbo almost losing the ring in Bag End scene in the FOTR EE.

I like the good combination of both true to form to the hobbit book and slowly introducing more of the elements and tone of the Lord Of The RIngs movies.

Seems like the acting will once again be the best part of the movie. Which isn't a bad thing.

..visibly and audibly trembling as he talks to Smaug
Smaug's voice
Bilbo not telling Gandalf about the ring
Shot of Thorin looking very fetching in a nice smart costume
Intense exchange between Bard and Thorin, which other things apart, gives a real sense of the difference in height
Shot looking up into the leaves
Elvenking's halls
Smaug's voice (did I mention that?)
Oh, hang it, all of it - I like all of it!

-Bilbo's line "Truly, the tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, o Smaug the stupendous!" it sounded almost Shakespearean!
-The way Bilbo almost tells Gandalf about the ring and then says instead 'my courage.' I felt like shouting at the screen "Tell him Bilbo!"
-Smaug's lines, I heard the start of the line and then went one minute is that Smaug's voice?

I knew my example wasn't great, I was just trying to get the concept across. But seeing the Eye works perfectly! Good thinking.

...or trusting Smaug to take it as a compliment?

But the one that has stuck with me is Bilbo giving the longing look to the forest tree tops. That scene is going to be glorious. It will be a breath of fresh air for us all, when Bilbo reaches the top. 
And for someone who dislikes Benedict (yeah, shoot me!), Smaug's voice is brilliant.

I really didn't want the Bilbo/Smaug scene to be like a cross between something out of the Roland Emmerich Godzilla and Harry Potter hiding from the Basilisk but it looks like that's what Peter has gone for........
