I am not concerned per se. The films have always been peripheral to my involvement in Middle Earth - though I can understand that others feel differently and may feel the affection I do for the Radio Series and the Jackanory reading of the Hobbit - so it is no skin off my nose if it is a flop. I am not planning on going. I think there are enough people who are convinced that PJ is the only person who can "bring ME to life" that they won't admit it is bad even if it is. I do think you are right about the hobbit being lost. The fact that Galion doesn't seem to feature and that this Tauriel character does in combination with the released footage of the dwarves travelling in open barrels suggest that she will play a part in liberating the dwarves rather than their escape being down to the ingenuity of Mr Baggins.. rather as Arwen replacing Glorfindel made Frodo rather more helpless than in the book.
