I think once we all see the movie it will be more in context. Also these pics are really brightly lit, I think in the movie some of the glaring flaws will be hidden a bit better. Relax.

The costumes are brilliant, btw.

Yeah, but in the Rankin Bass version, Bilbo has a toad face, lol, so that's set a low standard. ;)

and just to point out the obvious...Martin Freeman as BB is brilliant casting.

How they styled the dwarves is definitely growing on me.

I'm particularly glad (not that I had any doubts) that they made Fili and Kili young enough where it would be believable that Thorin was their uncle.

yeah, Fili and Kili are kinda 'Brad Pitt-y' compared to the rest...but I am liking the look.

First Look at Bofur, Bombur, and Bifur in Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT

Dayum! Bombur needs to cut back on roast mutton a little, or he could, I don't know, fall into an enchanted river or something.
