I started worrying about the adaptation as soon as I heard it was two films. There's not enough content in the book for two films. I'm more worried since I heard there are now three films. It looks like they're taking a lot of stuff out of the appendices and other sources to fill it out, but there are limits. Worse, I don't agree with the tone they showed with the early production materials. It looks like an action-comedy, and that's not quite what The Hobbit is.

I bet Freeman took notes on Holmes' performance, though. I'm not really worried about his portrayal, provided Peter and Fran wrote it correctly.
