The Hobbit: BotFA teaser trailer

[Ophiucha]

Certainly the gold madness is an aspect of it in the book, but even from the time they are staying at the bear dude's house, they aren't really talking much. The plot of the first one was basically Bilbo being accepted into the group, slowly at first by the lesser dwarves while Thorin constantly demeaned him, then culminating in Thorin accepting him. One would expect them to be a bit friendlier after their hug, but they basically don't talk to each other until Thorin starts getting greedy.

It lessens the impact of him beginning to go mad (and presumably will continue to do so in the third film) when their budding friendship just abruptly ended after the first film.

First,
It has the annoying fantasy movie failure.

A large band of archers draw and hold, why?
Never draw until you are ready, hold only fatigues your arm. Fatigue your archers in the first shot, limits their effectiveness in battle.

Aim, draw and fire.
Not aim, draw, hold........................fire.

Second,
The first, was an introduction. Paying $8-10 for a character introduction was not worth it.

Over all:
It is Fantasy, there is very few good fantasy movies. So far, I like many other, cheaper made fantasy's over this Hobbit series.
