Official 'The Hobbit' Thread - Part 5

I love the fat redhead in the middle. That scene in the trailer where he catches food in his mouth confirms that he's going to be my my favorite dwarf.

And yes, the handsome dwarf is terrible.

He sticks out like a sore thumb.

New poster is cool. They need one like that but with Bilbo in the middle of them all

I don't have too much of an issue with several of the dwarves having such short beards, although if they didn't want them all having long flowing ones, they could have at least done them a few inches long and tied off..

But Aidan as the "sex appeal dwarf", which again I don't really have a problem with but 'cos he has hardly any make up effects, he does stick out like a sore thumb and, by effect, he makes the other dwarves fake hair and prosphetics stand out too.... which is a shame.

I guarantee average movie goers are going to look at this poster and question what's up with the sexy man up at the top?

 

[BestGirl]

Is Kili supposed to be half human? The more I look at him the less he seems like a dwarf.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Lol, the poster is like Sunday afternoon at a gay western bar: tons of fat hairy men and one doable guy off in the far corner.

 

[Octoberist]

Poor Dean O'Gorman doesn't get any attention.

I guarantee average movie goers are going to look at this poster and not care. The GA arent nerds like us and they dont care about stuff like that.

Don't get so defensive. The nerds won't care because we know their all dwarves.

He's not really that handsome. Thorin beats him there.

edit: I hope Jackson shows us the little hairy women.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

the one that looks like a star fish....woooooo that get's mah knickers tight.

I would rather have Dwarves that look ridiculous, like Starhead, than have blandly good looking young men with a bit of stubble, who we are told are Dwarves.

The annoying thing is that I think that some of the Dwarves, like Starhead, have been made to look ridiculous precisely because that degree of variety amongst the Dwarves is necessary in order for BoyBand to be accepted as belonging to the Dwarf strain.

That is one of my problems. You can swear up and down a dog is a duck but if it barks and looks like a dog it is a dog. Killi does not in any way look like a dwarf. He will look like a very short man/boy.

Oh and if his story consists of him moping around because he is so handsome and the world doesnt understand him i will rage. I hate characters like that.

The movie was filmed in New Zealand, not New Jersey.

 

[CGHulk]

I thought it looked familiar!

 

[Breogan]

Yikes..........

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Yikes..........

Awesome.

Like the poster a lot, but I agree. Handsome dwarf is rather annoying and distracting.

 

[DJ Kornphlake]

Starhead looks like Martin Short in that poster. t:

Ha! ****ing owned.

Maybe human raised by dwarves or his mother skipped the inbreeding process.

 

[Darkness Falls]

was hoping for a more epic looking poster for the dwarves, but its alright
reminds me of the muppets poster as many have probably said, and it kind of shows their personalities, still think bilbo should've been on the poster looking annoyed

 

[Octoberist]

I don't care who's good looking or not, I think the lighting done for the poster's photography sucks.

 

[CGHulk]

 

[Tacit Ronin]

I just can't get used to Kili no matter how hard I try. He doesn't look like a dwarf.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I too think Kili's kind of strange looking, but he's only 1 of 12 dwarves. I think we can get over it by now.
