The tension between Bilbo and Smaug was epic.

I once saw this trailer in the cinema and that was the reason why I watched all the LotR movies plus "The Hobbit: An unexpected Journey". I didn't regret it at all, every single trilogy, both the LotR and The Hobbit, is amazing. It's a real shame there will be no more since every minute was precious to me.

My entire family are Tolkien fans and I remember when this trailer came out. My mom called me over and we sat down together. I was already super excited but when I heard Smaug's voice. I ended up having chills. It was shocking and amazing to me.

I loved that opening line. That sound of utter awe and those overtones of despair... magnificent.

Half the people love Legolas' appearance in the movie, and all the other die-hard Tolkien fans hate it. But come on guys - the Hobbit was written before LotR and Legolas' character was adapted. Clearly at this point everyone KNOWS that Thranduil (aka. The guy who's imprisoned the Dwarves) have a son. Why the hell wouldn't he be in his own home?!

smaug didnt wake up because of bilbo, smaug woke up because of that stupid bird knocking its nuts on the walls of the fucking mountain

"Don't be into the light!" holy sh** !!! Got chills! Benedict's voice is freaking amazing :D

[IngenFiles]

I've watched this trailer many times online, but when I went to see Catching Fire and this trailer played, Smaug's voice on the big screen was probably the coolest thing ever!

[picklepotts]

Quick question: who WOULDN'T fall for Orlando Bloom? I mean, come on! It's ORLANDO BLOOM!!

[Spiegel]

"Come now, don't be shy."

And with just those five words, Benedict Cumberbatch has made me an audiosexual.

[thebatterwitch]

Smaug was too epic. Literally was put in awe by his size and power damn

[leslieshE]

I loved this film. Benedict and Martin back together.

Just thought I would come here to watch the trailer again to see some of the awesomeness that this movie was.

Whoever doesn't like these new films is crazy. This is coming from one who has red every Tolkien book. Peter Jackson has delivered a faithful adaption, nothing has been left out. The only purely added material are as follows: Tauriel, and Bard's backstory. Azog was mentioned in the Hobbit, he was created by Tolkien. Legolas was the son of the Elven King of Mirkwood (which was mentioned in LOTR books). The changes made in the movies are LOGICAL changes. Legolas would have been alive during the Hobbit. Tolkien just hadn't created his character yet. I knew Peter would add him in there before the first film even came out. Wayy before it came out I speculated he would be added...why?...because it is logical. Making Azog a big role was awesome because in the book a random goblin called the Great Goblin (not Goblin King under the mountain different guy) lead the orcs into the Battle of Five Armies. It gives a random character more depth. Just like the added Bard's backstory gives him more depth and makes him more interesting. And Tauriel....she's just a badass. Thank goodness Peter added her she was better than Arwen (in my opinion). So in short: read the books. Its like it says in the credits: "Based on'' if you want EXACTLY the book, read the book. You have to make embellishments when making a film based on a book. People forget ALLOT was changed or altered in the LOTR movies.

[carljthatsme]

Damn Cumberbatch's portrayal of Smaug is genuinely one of the greatest villains I've ever seen

[etwisabeta]

Truly, the tales and songs fall utterly short of your enormity, oh Smaug the stupendous!

[LegoMapleStudios]

Just from the trailer, I can tell Benedict Cumberbatch is going to hit the nail on the head again. He is absolutely awesome.

[Tridbnrml]

LoTR and The Hobbit - Two of the most EPIC trilogies

[dilhowlter]

Legolas comments everywhere....
everyone loves his presence in the movie <3

Amazing movie. I love it even more now that I've watched the 9 hours of behind the scenes footage and have seen how much care and effort was put into creating this. Can't wait until the extended dvd of the battle of the five armies comes out.
