The Hobbit Part 2: 10 Awesome Things We've Learnt From The New Trailer

By Alex Leadbeater /

The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug hits cinemas in a couple of months and if it feels like it€™s sneaking up on you like a light footed burglar that€™s because up until yesterday we only had one teaser trailer to get us excited for Peter Jackson€™s return to his return to Middle Earth. Since hitting the internet less than twenty four hours ago millions of people have checked out the latest trailer which has overshadowed the imminent releases of fellow colon and abstract subtitle sequels Thor: The Dark World and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Two and a half minutes long, this trailer (more so than the teaser in June) restores faith to fans who were a little let down by An Unexpected Journey. A middle entry that has to justify being created mostly in the editing suite, Desolation continues the adventures of Bilbo and the thirteen dwarves attempting to reclaim the Misty Mountain where they run into elves, spiders and the up until recently sleeping dragon, Smaug. Check out the trailer below before clicking next and getting the low down on just what awesome things we€™ve learnt from it. Now you€™ve seen that, onto the obsessive analysis. Be warned, there will be spoilers for a best selling, seventy year old children€™s book. Tread carefully.
