The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Trailer #2

  Earlier this morning Warner Bros. released The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug  second movie trailer and this time we get to see more of Thorin and HEAR  Benedict Cumberbatch's computer enhanced voice as Smaug the Worm (Dragon).                                                                                           

 After having watched the movie trailer about a half dozen times or so, it has left me with a couple of thoughts at the moment.
1) Desolation of Smaug does not need to be shown in 3D because in normal 2D I want to jump out of my skin.

2) I can not believe I am going to make this admission, but for the first time since Gremilins, Smaug makes me want to go to the movie theater and watch it. Whether I will or not is another matter.

  My feeling is that The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is going to be so much better than The Hobbit that it leaves me with this question : If The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is this good, On what scale of good is There and Back Again going to be?

                                               

The Hobbit Chipmunk version

  I felt  guilty thinking that parts of this video was cute,b ut I will say that Kili and Fili at the door with their voices deepened did a little something to me - they are Thorin's nephews after all.
                                                 

The Official The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Poster

  Well folks we are staring early with The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug  promotion this week. Yesterday, the 8th, a poster was released as the official one for the movie and yours truly bought into it even though it does look like Martin Freeman/Bilbo Baggins has a deer in the headlight look or as someone Tumblr put it, a dragon in the headlight look. The poster does have issues with it that I couldn't put my finger, but all my mind was going with is that yeah the quality is shockingly not that good coming from WB and Peter Jackson but okay. But this evening I read what was wrong with the poster at The One Ring and Calisuri there goes into the details. I would not have known the details, I just had a feeling in my gut that I ignored.

 The poster in question:

  Now for the beautifully majestic OFFICIAL The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug poster, and no Thorin is no where to be seen go ahead and cry I'm right there with you. But can you imagine what a Smaug poster with Thorin on it would look like? Squeeing and thudding just thinking about it. Huh? What? Oh...yes the official poster. Sidetracked there a bit.

The official The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug poster also from The One Ring.

  Also, if you have not heard there is going to be a teaser trailer released Wednesday morning and supposedly there is going to be a full trailer attached to the Superman movie Man of Steel
