Aside from the horrible editing, I actually liked the footage shown. The visual effects look good and the footage was impressive. I’m still not sold that it will be a big Oscar player considering the “been there, done that” feel the movie might have but it looks like a fun flick.

I’m actually impressed by how much Jackson seems to be working to differentiate these films from LOTR. It feels more like I remember The Hobbit feeling, as opposed to the air of great importance that was omnipresent in the LOTR movies.

Though I would still prefer del Toro’s version.

I loved the trailer. I think it plays really well with the epicness that the story actually is. However, in terms of Oscar, the story is very light and less adult friendly in comparison to the original trilogy. I don’t have any doubts the film will be a major player in the VFX, Cinematography, Production Design, Make-up & Hair, Costume, and maybe Editing. But anything else seems a little bit of a hill climb for them. Looks good though.
