Quite encouraging, especially the most famousest line delivered by an equally famous Hobbit (at least I think it's him). The sets and props look amazing and I am quite relieved to see them after all the speculation about green screens and cgi environments. Great little installment all around.

Totally, totally beyond amazing....this is going to be awesome. I've fallen in love with Rivendell all over again!
And seeing Gandalf, Bilbo and the Dwarves in Bag End, as well as the Gollum's cave set - just the best thing ever!
Plus, the Maori blessing ceremony was so touching...
Thank you, Peter...

There is magic in long-distance friendships. They let you relate to other human beings in a way that goes beyond being physically together and is often more profound.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

But who's voice was it? I'm going with Martin, sounding like Ian Holm.Alatar wrote:And I am not ashamed to say that hearing that last line, spoken by that voice, has me sitting here in tears.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

The sets! The detailed costumes and props! The camaraderie!

I tend to agree...it's a very good impression but it's not Sir Ian Holm as I remember his voice.
Going back to Peter's words about Rivendell:
Do you think we'll possibly get to see the Hall of Fire? After all, we know Lindir has been cast!
Going back to Peter's words about Rivendell:
'Also in The Hobbit is going to be a lot of new bits of Rivendell that we haven't seen before – some really cool bits of Rivendell, actually, that we've— we'll keep as a little surprise for the time being.'
