Loving it!

Argh It's annoying how long we have to wait to actually see it, watching that made me more irritated!

A pic of Fili and Kili:

Clicky

That's great Erunion but I can't think of the guy playing Kili as anything but Mitchell the vampire from Being Human.

Nice find Jonathan. Looks good

I understand that Fili & Kili are suppose to be very young dwarves, but only Fili looks like the part. Kili looks like a dwarf supermodel or some human ranger, he doesn't have that dwarf nose & other features. I guess dwarf metabolism only starts to go out after being a quarter century old.

I thought they'd all be more like Gimli...broader, stouter. These guys look like D&D gnomes.

Sacrilege83 · **Posted:** Wed Jul 13, 2011 2:27 am

LOL, actually if you look at Gimli's father Gloin and his uncle Oin, those two resemble more akin to Gimli. Guessing because it's a family and all these dwarves come from different dwarven realms, so they differ from each other a bit in fashion & culture. I like they're weapons though. Their geometric swords very much resemble dwarven culture. Usually dwarves are always stereo typed with carrying axes and warhammers, so these swords & machetes they're showing is something a bit out of the ordinary in their weaponry.

That's offensive to Aidan Turner, a great actor!

Great actor or not, I'm siding with Whafrog. A few of these dwarves do look like gnomes, nothing to do with Aidan's acting capabilities, it's the costume/character design.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:25 pm

I personally like the slight changes in costume design

Although I'm not sure about my opinion of the young dwarves yet, I just feel they could have done something else to make them look younger other than give them less facial hair and make them less dwarf-like in posture. Still, it's most definitely not going to put me off the film!

I like the costumes and such, it's just the heads from some of these dwarves I don't really like.. Where are all the large beards..? And the haircuts of some.. Also, I wish they were more like they were described in the book.. perhaps after a while, or in the movie I'll like them more. It's just that I didn't pictured it like this in my head.. oh well, let's just wait for the release now!

NO

NOT Again

They are different than what I thought they would be like too.
I did get a look at a Goblin Town set and Gollums Lake . Hard to judge with out the blue screen effects. I can make a few things though.

I strongly dislike the look of Kili and Nori...in fact, I don't much care for any of them at all except for Gloin and Oin. For me, there's been a lot of disappointment so far in regards to this movie. I'm still holding out that Ian Holm will make some sort of appearance...hopefully they can get Christopher Lee in there too. But overall I'm still really excited for this film, I can't wait to see it.

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:04 pm

They're both in it. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit_(2012_film)

PS don't diss Aidan Turner's portrayal of Kili.

Jamros · **Posted:** Wed Jul 13, 2011 6:12 pm

Dude, thanks for the link. Been too stupid to check myself if Holm and Lee had been included. Hahahaha and oh my gosh, Bret McKenzie!
