Sometimes I think that zooming in tooooo close takes a bit of the magic out. As a kid I always used to sit front row center so I could see everything really good!!

Fili actually calls Kili his brother in DOS, and Kili calls him brother in AUJ (though that was during the scene where Fili was walking atop the table, so it makes sense that it may have been missed there). AND- something I loved (Kili's my favorite character in the movies, and F and K in the books, but I also wish to see more Fili) is that there's a shot of Fili looking toward the ruined Dale while riders head away from the mountain toward the city, and he's with THORIN, not Kili That gives me hope that there may be more interaction with the two of them in BO5A than there were previously But, like you, I really think that (akin to his scenes in DOS) Fili does need to come to the fore. As much as I love Kili in the role, Fili is equally amazing as a character (as I said, they were BOTH my favorite characters in the book long before the movies were even announced) and he is equally, if not more so, important to the quest as a whole. Especially after hearing Thorin's line in the trailer, "Everything I did, I did for them." It's official- I'm going to be a blubbering mess by the time the credits roll in the theaters

Remember coming home from the theater after sitting in the front row with a headache! Would head straight for some pain killers once home. LOL my mom would see me doing this and almost always say "told you to stop sitting in the front row".

I was growing up with CGI movies since 90s and played a tons of video games that have mind blowing cgi. I still fine with cgi in this trailer not the best but good enough.

...in the first LOTR trailer (the one with the Fellowship-over-the-crest money shot), you could see the Nazgul actors' black stocking masks under their hoods. This was fixed by the time the film came out. Remember, trailers are made from snippets of the unfinished film, and many scenes in them will probably be altered, reshot, or even removed entirely when the actual film comes out.

Yup, is say Smaug will be a quick/shock death in the first 15 mins.

By 'shock' I don't mean unexpected, but that people who don't know the book in particular might expect him to play a much bigger part than he actually does in the final part of the story.

A couple of thoughts (includes spoilers of course)
[In reply to]

So... I hope the heat is cooling down. I know that most of us have an emotional bond to those films and I do understand that we all want a big and great and emotional and amazing and cool final chapter in the cinematic Middle-earth saga so it's only human to react in these ways we did. But don't forget... there's a lot of stuff to talk about besides the CGI... I'm talking about plot points: 1.) DESTRUCTION OF LAKE-TOWN I was surprised that there was no shot of Smaug at all. Not even the shot we saw in the teaser. Interesting. I'm also interested if the Master survives this destruction. We know that Alfrid will but the Master? 2.) DOL GULDUR For me (obviously) a big part of the story and propably one of the chapters I'm looking forward the most. Elrond looks badass. Gandalf looks... well wasted. Galadriel carefull and Saruman... he's just a cool guy. I also like the shot of Sauron on the top of the stairs. I could imagine that this is the place where he disappears. Christopher Lee looks much better this time around. While the CGI on his face in AUJ was far more obvious this time he almost looks like the FOTR Saruman. 3.) THE NINE The Nine look amazing. I can't tell which one of them the Witch-King is since neither is anyone wearing the crown he wears in AUJ nor the one he wears in FOTR nor the helmet the WK wears in ROTK. But I guess it's the big one with the wizards/sorcerers staff on the right that almost looks like Sauron. Also I believe that I can see one Haradrim (the one in the back with this strange fork like weapon). Why a Haradrim? Because my Haradrim action figure from ROTK carries a similar weapon. The "fat" one on the right with the strange helmet (actually might be a PJ cameo as TORN FB page suggests) could be an Easterling. With little imagination you can see a modified version of TTT and ROTKs Easterling helmet. Being an Easterling Nazgűl this would make him Khaműl right? Definitely a great shot. I never thought to see the Nine like this. 4.) MOUNT GUNDABAD Finally! Oh guys... how often did I annoyed you with my wish to see Mount Gundabad in this final movie? Finally we see it. Now I'm thrilled how much of it we will see. We see the Orcs from Dol Guldur enter the tunnels, we see Legolas and Tauriel being there somehow observing the army and the bats and we see the Orc army leaving alongside Trolls and other creatures. Great! I hope we see some parts of the interior as well. The red rost looks cool. The architecture reminds me a little bit of the walls of Minas Morgul... which would be logical since both parts are connected to the Witch-King. The Bats by the way don't look like the fluffy ones we saw in AUJ. These Bats are really evil looking. Almost vampire like. 5.) AZOG & BOLG Azog looks amazing. Again... something I posted several times since we saw him in AUJ: Please give him some kind of armor or at least a leather cloak. And finally: He gets an armor. And an amazing one. Definitely based on several concept arts we already saw in the chronicles books. His fight with Thorin looks great. Bolg on the other hand is fighting Kili, Bilbo, Tauriel and Legolas on several places. Most of it will take place on Raven Hill I guess... Fighting so many heroes... I'm not sure if there's still room for Beorn to crush him. 6.) GOBLINS It looks like some of the Orcs (around 1:57) aren't Gundabad Orcs but Goblins from Goblin Town only with armor alongside Orcs and Trolls. Which would be (again) something I wanted to see since we saw them in AUJ. I also believe this naked something... the one who does look like a mix of Orc and Troll and might even be a Half-troll could be a Goblin instead. He definitely looks a little bit like a Goblin to me. Perhaps he is the new leader of the Goblins after the death of the Goblin King? 7.) BARD & THORIN So before the war and even before the arrival of Thranduil there will be a negotiation between Bard and Thorin. We see both of them taling and later Bard riding his white horse back to Dale. 8.) THRANDUIL & TAURIEL Why is Thranduil attacking Tauriel? Perhaps because she wants to protect Kili or stop Thranduil from attacking Erebor? This happens before Gandalfs arrival I guess. 9.) NO DAIN There's no Dain at all. No hint of the Dwarves from the Iron Hills this time besides the ballistas. No war rams. I'm fine with that. There has to be something new we haven't seen before. 10.) NO FILI There's a lot of Kili in this trailer but besides a few background appearances there's no Fili in this trailer. Interesting as well 11.) EMOTIONAL LEVEL Well... everybody is crying. There's no funny moment at all in this trailer. It is very dark and looks very LOTR-ish to me. There's so much more to interpret. So much more to talk about. This is our last Middle-earth movie. This is a more than worthy trailer. Go to the cinemas. One or two or three or as many times you want and enjoy it. I definitely will.

- The Nine look very intriguing. Much better than the witchking in AUJ. Where is HE btw? - Saruman has quite yellow teeth himself :D poor raddy.. -Sauron seems to be more "physical" than in DOS or is it just me? -that statue in Dol Guldur in the middle.. Palantir anyone?!! - The big trollish guy.. I think he might be the leader of the scout party of orcs/ goblins tha come to Dale before the real battle begins. He seems to be a relative to the Goblin King - The Elven army really needs to be touched up CGI wise a bit ;) - Laketown on flames will be a treat in 48fps - Behind Bard on the tower with the ballista lies his BOW

we actually discussed, though in a very small group ( ) where Gandalf is in the shot with Saruman,Elrond and Galadriel ?! Do you think it is possible he leaves after the fight with the Nine, maybe together with Radagast ?!

Saying anything of it is 'atrocious' is beyond opinion, it's hyperbole in the extreme and is simply wrong. People can always hide behind the 'opinion' argument but in this case I'm sorry but it's just our of order and wrong. People can have issue with elements of it, issues with the extensive amount, but with the quality based on this trailer? Certainly not? I have yet to see anything better and on a comparable scale from any of the other big releases this year. CGI is open to far less interpretation with regard 'opinion' than for example, specific designs (of characters or locations), of plot lines, of acting. We'll see of course when AMPAS and all the visual effects guilds and award bodies give their, very experienced and very qualified, opinions on it in the new year.
