Movie Trailer Excitement!

The Hobbit trailer finally went live. I am upset that I have to wait an ENTIRE YEAR to see this. If there is a God, I hope he doesn't let the world end until AFTER I see The Hobbit. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is special to me partially because my friends in high school made an event out of it and we went many times to see it. Yes, we were those people who dressed as hobbits and went to the first available showing. It was fun and hopefully there will be a reunion of some sort for The Hobbit. On top of that, the films are visually stunning and the story is great as well. I believe that the films do an excellent job of converting the texts into something visual and I cannot wait to see this adaptation.

Sadly, I'm less excited for the next Batman installment. I wasn't thrilled with The Dark Knight and I'm expecting to feel the same about this one. I also believe it won't achieve as much in the film world as The Dark Knight did, but this may be me trying to talk the hype down so I am ecstatic when I finally see it this summer.

Jack and the Beanstalk is certainly not my first choice for a fairy tale film, but I'll give it a chance. I don't find the trailer to be exciting, but I am intrigued enough to put this on my 2012 list.
