The first trailer is here:

If you liked the LOTR trilogy, this looks like more of the same.  I'm looking forward to it.  I can't wait to see Smaug, who will probably be in the sequel.

Can't wait to see it. I love the lord of the rings trilogy and read "The Hobbit" a while back. Luckily I've forgotten something like 80% of the story.

I can't really agree with that :) The books were way too slow for me. Though I do have to re-read them in English, as the Dutch translation was rather... well, it was probably very good, but I'm not a big fan of Dutch ;)

Love it. I can't wait. The books are even better then the movies.
I think the first movie was better, but the next two books were better.  I'm just ticked they took out Tom Bombadil. They better leave in Beorn. Also I'm not sold yet on their portrayal of Thorin, but I'll try to stay open minded on that. I wonder if we will ever see a female dwarf. Also I'm not cool with inserting stuff that didn't happen, like a Gandalf/elf love in. 
Although I can't complain with the inserted plot line of the elves showing up to help at that fortress in the 2nd movie.

Funny, I thought this too, because he was such a godly dude in the book.  I think maybe he was too fruity or something.  I'm not even sure how you could aptly portray him on the big screen in a way that came across a lot less cool than the rest of the characters in the book.  Bombadil seemed a lot more fit for the tone of the Hobbit story actually.

Since there creating two movies I think Beorn will be in it. I hope at least. I was disappointed Bombadil wasn't in it, but I can understand why he wasn't in it. I like how the Hobbit is including scenes that didn't take place in the book but were taking place at that time.

Like Gandalf and the meeting of the white counsel hence Galadriel's appearance. I hope they shoe them chasing out the Necromancer (Sauron) from Mirkwood.
