Just saw a press screening and I have to say...This movie just kicks ass!!!

It's been a while since I saw the first one but this one has got to be a WHOLE lot better. It's definetely more fun and wildly imaginative. The new(and the old)characters are very interesting and funny also....especially Johann Krauss, the new leader of the team, with his accent and ridiculous costume(his voice actually remined me a lot of Jeremy Irons from Die Hard With A Vengance lol)
Perleman is so perfect that I can't imagine anyone else playing this role! It's seems like he's even better and having more fun with the character than the the first time.

I love the way the movie doesn't take itself too seriously but instead opens up for a lot of comedy and funny one-liners...I LOVED the beer drinking scene!

The characters reminded me to some extent of Pans Labyrinth, and I suspect if you loved that one you'll like this movie too. I love these movies where the director has a very personal and spesific vision, because the universe becomes so complete in and on to itself. Like watching a Tim Burton movie.

I bet Del Toro is a very fitting choice to do The Hobitt now. I certainly wouldn't mind seeing this one again any time soon. Finally a movie that has lots of kick-ass action and long hairy balls!......a complete fantasy.
