Another day, another movie trailer screened at Comic Con Los Angeles. Featured on Sunday, the final day of Comic Con, was The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. The film is again directed by Peter Jackson, who made a comment to the press stating that this is merely a teaser trailer of the film, adding that the full trailer won't be released until October.
Jackson also said that this film is darker than those in the franchise that preceeded it. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Lee Pace, Luke Evans and Evangline Lilly, is scheduled to be released on December 17, 2014.
I so wanted to like these movies, I so wanted them to be good, and I'm so disappointed that EVERYTHING in these movies is turned up so far past 11 that it just seems to ruin them. So much wasted potential. Mind you, I will see this one, too, but the trailer just seems to show more more more of the same same same. Peter Jackson has turned into the worst aspects of what George Lucas has become. It makes me sad.

Yup - the first one was tolerable, the Disappointment of Smug was just that. The long "video game" river fight sequence - even our 11 year old though it was silly, and she's a fan.
