New Hobbit Trailer Debuts

New submitter madmarcel tips news that a new trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has been released. "The new piece (seen above) is about the same length -- 2 1/2 minutes -- as the December trailer. But it cuts to the chase more quickly, leaving out the Frodo voiceover that sets up the Lord of the Rings follow-up. Instead we get the quick voiceover explanation -- 'the dwarves are determined to reclaim their homeland' -- before we meet up with Martin Freeman's Bilbo Baggins and set off. There's a slightly less self-serious tone to the proceedings this time around, though questers do 'enter the mountain' and play important games of riddles."

Crap.
Jackson has given Tolkien the aesthetic of a "Pirates of the Caribbean" sequel.
Despite being about a modest, and diminutive person - in adventure with a band of diminutive but grandiose fellows, there is nothing in this film done on the requisite small-scale.
Just an abominable pile of cinematic tripe.
