the hobbit is a book for kids and should be judged as such.

Just an excellent, excellent post.

If you guys want to read his best ever work(and its a short enough story youd read in an afternoon, also his last story ever) its a book called Smith of Wooten Major. Nothing to do with middle earth at all, but its such a beautiful story and really well written.
Good for adults and kids alike.

seems to be happenning but ill wait for a more offical source
The final installment in the Hobbit Trilogy, The Hobbit 3: Battle of Five Armies, will arrive in theaters sooner than expected, the film is set to release on July 20.
A title change from There and Back Again to The Hobbit 3: Battle of the Five Armies has been officially announced. Rumor has it that there may be some slight discrepancies between what is depicted in the film, and what J.R.R Tolkien had written in his book.

Fans may also have had a say in what will happen in the film, they petitioned to keep Thorin Oakenshield alive, without regard for the major differences that would have to occur between the film and the original story. As it stands, no one knows for sure if the popular hero will see his demise in the upcoming blockbuster.

One thing can be said for sure, fans are dying to get a glimpse of Smaug, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who is a dragon that will be on the front lines of an epic battle taking place in the film.
Cumberbatch had this to say, "He's just legendary in the world of The Hobbit, and he is the ultimate dragon. He's an extraordinary creation in the book. And what we've all managed to achieve - especially the people at WETA, the post-production and sound facilities in Wellington - is extraordinary. It's another leap forward in cinema, as Gravity was - an environment you can believe in totally, and with the 48 [frames per second] it's extraordinarily real," he said to Den of Geek
The third installation will take off where the 2013 film ended, with Thorin and his crew on the Lonely Mountain, Legolas fighting off Orcs, Gandalf the Grey and Bard the Bowman imprisoned, and the first appearance of the Necromancer who accompanies a distempered Smaug on his way to wreak havoc in Lake Town.
Although, rumors warn that the movie might be slightly shorter than the two previous films, fans should still get excited for the epic finale to the trilogy.

Pretty sure the rumour is that the TRAILER is due out 20 July.

The nerdgasm has passed. You may be right.
Wish It was July though

trying to not get excited, but sifiting out the relevant parts, sounds promising.

The teasertrailer is out

Do they stab Smaug in the missing scale in this one? Or is that the next one?

This one...big question is when it happens..it should happen towards the start of the film, he lays waste to laketown, eventually gets shot down by bard, and the men from there demand reparations from the dwarves, adding another element to the elves and men coming to lay siege to them, cos everyone wants a share of the hoarde under the mountain,

but then the orc army turns up and they all band together against them..

or at least thats what happens in the book..it may well go otherwise in the film.

I'm guessing it happens later and Smaug ends up allying with the orcs.

based on the trailer I no longer think that

There's also the Necromancer storyline that will need to be 'resolved'.

He gets his ass kicked by galadriel apparently

That trailer. I guess I assumed CGI technology would get better over time not worse. Yikes.

Putting a super modern digital tech onto a film thats supposed to look and feel old/otherworldly was an insanely stupid idea to begin with...these will age horribly..

some of the graphics on characters in the last one, looking like N64 characters still baffles me..how could they not have seen that stuff??
