Obviously, since this will be a movie not based one any specific Tolkien book, there's bount to be some/lots of backlash from some fans. Do you have any worries about how they'll handle it? Are you for or against the movie?

I think everyone knows by this point that I'm for the movie. Without question.
I think that no matter what book is made into a movie, no matter how closely based on it, there will always be people who critisize it. This will be no different. Of course I hope they stick as closely to Tolkien's version as they can, but it's impossible for them to use 100% of it in going from book to movie. But I'm not worried about it. Peter Jackson and Del Toro are completely dedicated to the task, and as we all know with Peter Jackson, he would not ruin one of Tolkien's masterpieces for the world. So he has all my support! ;D

Ah, I don't think you get it There IS not Talkien masterpiece that this is based on, remember? The movie that will be piecing The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings together. Therefore, making a movie, when there's no book

Oh I know. I just meant that as far as the actual book (The Hobbit) they will hopefully be sticking to the facts in it as much as possible. But I get what you're saying. I know people aren't going to like it, but I just say get over it. ;D

Exactly! As long as their basing it on facts from what Tolkien has said happened, WHY be mad about it? It's not like they added flying midgets and lightsabers

Hey, leave Star Wars out of this! lol I know. They would not dare. Not when they have thousands of rabid ringers breathing down their necks. Us just lurking in the shadows, just out of reach. We will be waiting. ;D

(Well, I may have one or two things against the prequels lol) Yeah, I know what you mean...one or two things... I love the last three because they were the original ones and the actors were awesome, but I like the second and third (first one SUCKED ) because of the special effects and we learned all about Darth Vadar and what made him the way he was.

Really?? That's horrible! They do not deserve to breathe the same air as Peter Jackson and Del Toro! They should be rounded up like cattle and tried in court as traitors to the cause!! Who's with me? ;D

Yeah!! Pitchforks and torches!! How dare they give the new director so much trouble! They won't be starting to film it for a while and already they're saying all these bad things. I say that they should wait a while to see what happens.

I agree. *sigh* I can understand what they mean by there being the possibilty that he could possibly mess up both movies, but since all we have right now is our faith in them and their promise that they will treat the movies as their precious, all we can do is hope. I have no doubt that what they create will be their life's work.
