That's my hope too...but as always, we could be seeing the very best bits in the trailers...that has happened far too often, and I hope that isn't true here.

I'm hearing rumblings from the Brits about "The Hobbit", which already premiered in Britain. The one quote that stuck was "As a movie lover I was bored to death and as a Tolkien fan I was appalled". Not such stunning reviews for the first installment of the Peter Jackson Hobbit trilogy....
