This looks somewhat promising, but given how The Hobbit "under performed" for me, I'm a bit leery about what is to come. I think I will probably sit this one out and just wait for it to hit on DVD. I did like seeing that Orlando Bloom was in this one. Not sure to what extent his character will be featured in the 2nd film though. Evangeline Lilly is a nice addition. I know that the character she plays never appeared in the books and was written specifically for the movie. This is sure to get those die-hard's roaring in their disapproval.
