The shots with the wizards really look good but my favorite is Bilbo! This movie will definitely be darker and more suspenseful. I am really excited now to see what they do with Dol Guldur, the Elven King's halls, and Mirkwood.
I hate myself sometimes for being like this ... but ... I have a nitpick.
Water scene with Bard: with light reflecting off the water, usually there are little light patterns on the beams and things from the light reflecting off the waves. Not having that there makes it seem less real. Is it too late to add something like that? Probably. The only reason I say that is because it is one of the coolest parts of being near water with a surface like that (on a lake).
I love the architecture and the feeling of scope and depth in the town. It looks like an awesome place and Bard seems really "at home" there. My eyes just always look for those little wave-light-signatures reflecting off things ... hoping for that delight of watching them dance around. I bet most people who haven't spent much time on a lake wouldn' t miss it but being from the Great Lakes area of the US ... well ... sorry!
I'd say on a day that was cloudy or at night this lighting effect shouldn't be there - but if the sun is shining on the waves then I always look for it. Maybe if the water is really, really rough it becomes hard to distinguish the pattern but when it is calmly waved like that, that's when it often looks the coolest.
I really like the reveal of the Master of Laketown and his lackey. That is a classic shot! It shows some great characterization - haha. It looks like they are doing a great job filling in the details necessary to bring Laketown to life. The book left so much handwaved to the imagination - which is great for a book. But a movie is different and this looks awesome!

... could become one of the best sets in all six movies.
Maybe a mod could edit all links in the first post so people can find them easily? :)

Awwwwww - just think that is so cute, finally seeing all 13 dwarves stuffed into their barrels (maybe DOS is dark and tension-filled but for me that is a nice bit of whimsy). Even more amusing is seeing Bilbo standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE TRAPDOOR LEVER and potentially thinking "revenge, finally" LOL.
Love the pic with Bilbo and the keys, could picture him overhearing the dwarves' despair and just coming around the corner, dangling them.
And love Bard looking after my beloved dwarves tho guess THAT is going to go downhill in a hurry....and having a new great big sword will surely cheer Thorin (he can grab MY arm anytime *snuggles*). He needs cheering up because the Empire pic in the river looks like it's a real "oh, *bleep*" moment - whoops, looks like there's a waterfall ahead.....
Thank you guys for posting these links! So the U.S. has our big stuff-yourself-until-you-can't-breathe holiday tomorrow, kicking off the holiday season, as well as the assault of sale ads, but for me this year it's a marker that DOS is so close now -every image I see makes me want the movie more.

I'm with you. It looks fake.
For all the talk of a darker film (and the sound of a darker soundtrack) these still look...wrong. Too bright, clear, too manipulated.

Who Thorin's grimacing at?
He seems to do that a lot in these films.

Here is the website for a picture of the kind of lighting effect that happens when the sun is shining on water underneath a bridge, dock, or boat house.
http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Eiwce13X738/TEcXvXgSToI/AAAAAAAAIkQ/FTwy0e9nejI/s1600/Caustic.ReflectionsVenice.sm.jpg
This is the only thing I noticed and I think I only noticed it because of how much I stare at these patterns when they happen and how much time I have spent around lakes where you see this effect only during day time on sunny days.
If they could put more clouds in the sky that would do just as well to hide the missing signature here. OR even if the sun is behind a cloud, I don't think it would seem missing.
Maybe in the barrels their hair should look wet, too - hopefully it will by the time they have gotten along down the river.
Otherwise I wouldn't say it all looks fake. I would just say that I pick up on a certain detail that maybe a lot of people wouldn't care much about?

that they had problems making the Dwarves' hair look wet since the wigs were mostly composed of yak hair, which repels water. If they don't look properly wet enough in the movie, I'll just believe that Dwarf hair is naturally water-repellent, just like yak hair. 
Maybe in the barrels their hair should look wet, too - hopefully it will by the time they have gotten along down the river.

Now, however, I'm wondering how he gets a hold of them... I rather doubt PJ will go the whole 'drunk elf warden' route, but some would probably be pleased to see Tauriel in such an ignominious situation. I really don't care, as long as the heroics all belong to Bilbo here.

From the available clues, it seems that (1) Bilbo will get the keys from one or two drunk elves, but (2) Tauriel will not be one of them, but rather may discover what has happened. Clues:
(1) The LEGO set with two brown-haired elves drinking:
(2) Evangeline Lilly in the wine cellar with an apparently drunk elf at the table:
Don't mess with my favorite female elf.

Don't think it's being too picky, I pick up all kinds of details as well, figure it's a kind of love and joy for these films,
because if you don't care your mind wanders off. Maybe - tho Laketown looks a bit lighter in this shot - it's just going
to be too overcast for much water reflections and/or there's too much turbidity, or the water has an oily film near that many
people, like many harbors. None of the shots I have seen of Laketown look "bright" like the first shots of Dale were.
Plus when Bard is poling the barge at times it looks foggy.
Seems like they went to town on the Laketown set, can't wait for the BR to freeze it and look over all the set details,
and stuff in the stores, and costumes already look amazing.

"but some would probably be pleased to see Tauriel in such an ignominious situation."
Because to me it'd be more of the hard-charging captain of the guard I hoped the character would be - the kind who could down a a lot,
hang out with her men, pass out, and be up and fighting in a nanosecond.
Tho, I suppose, if you are a guard captain you aren't supposed to be hanging out partying.

Like water birds - water repellant. Or like people when are hair isn't washed......
Besides, if they are dwarves, why would they have hair like us? But there are
wetting agents gardeners use that might have helped.....

That one drunk LEGO elf in the red shirt is one of my favorite minifigures. His expression is just so funny! I'm so glad to see that he'll actually be in the movie.
I think I'll dub him 'Galion'...
Tauriel discovering her drunk subordinates and not being pleased with them is also fine by me.
