I’m not sure what I’m going to think of it. I’m guessing I’ll see a fun romp that looks pretty! I didn’t like the book - I was going through a teenage girl phase of elves are pretty and dwarves are ugly and BUT IT’S FOR KIDS I’M NOT A KID - but now I’m older and I think I’ll like the dwarves used for comedic effect.

I’m keeping my expectations to a fun fantasy movie with high production values, not another LotR.
