Slightly off-topic. Or perhaps not. Today saw the release of the first trailer for the second instalment of the Hobbit movie “trilogy” (guess we all got used to that).
The Hobbit miniatures games … dunno … I still don’t see it getting a lot of game-time, though I know some people are playing it. Either way, the release of the second movie is going to bring a new batch of miniatures. Looking at the trailer, a Smaug miniature seems almost unavoidable.
The Desolation of Smaug Teaser Trailer
As for the Trailer itself… I guess it sticks to the overall theme and tone of the first Hobbit movie, being slightly more “video-gamy” than the original LoTR trilogy, while also trying to infuse the Hobbit with a similar sense of epic grandeur that made the LoTR-movies such a success, but sits a bit odd with the Hobbit as a children’s novel.
Also, Smaug himself looks oddly underwhelming to me, though I hope they’ll tinker on the effects some more in the coming weeks.
What do you think?
Are you looking forward to the Hobbit Part 2?
