HFR 3D. It's about time!

why in the hell do I need to buy my tickets a month before the movie comes out?
Maybe you'd want to do it for a reserved seating theater? But those are few and far between. There's only one auditorium in one theater where I live (Honolulu), and I haven't encountered one anywhere else I've recently lived, either (Buffalo and Cleveland).
I want to know what one of the characters is in this video. I am hoping it is Radagast, but I have this horrible feeling its Tom. Either way the character seems just a tad too silly in some other trailers i've seen, but I guess Radagast was an odd one they say.
Remember that the Hobbit was supposed to be a more light hearted childs book for Tolkein's puposes. Having the movie more light hearted feeling would match the books vibe more than making it all super dark and gritty.
I honestly don't see dark and gritty when I see this trailer, axia...looks pretty fun to me. Good action and fight scenes aren't exclusive to dark and gritty, just ask Indiana Jones.
Nice to see these here since I rarely watch commercials anymore...lol...can't wait.
