The Hobbit Soundtrack Stream
2012-12-03 by TMobotron | 79 Replies | 3164 Views

The first instalment of highly anticipated The Hobbit trilogy, An Unexpected Journey, is opening in theaters on December 14th. The soundtrack is set for release on December 11th, but Rolling Stone has an exclusive early stream. The soundtrack was composed mostly by Howard Shore, the man behind the three soundtracks in the original Lord of the Rings trilogy. An Unexpected Journey's soundtrack, staying true to the series, is filled with grandiose epics that have come to define middle-earth. Also noteworthy is the use of the dwarves' chill-inducing, ominous group singing that was seen in the early trailers for the movie. Stream the soundtrack here:

"I just want it to come out already."

Yeah it's so fucking close now though that I'm almost content. I think it will be a great movie. Not sure how it will measure up to the original 3, especially since they split 1 book into 3 movies. In some ways I'm okay with that because the more LOTR movies I get from peter jackson the better, but that does seem like a bit of a stretch.

I've always fucking loved The Hobbit though, that book is great and I think it will be great as a movie too.

My brother has a couple friends that work for AMC that are getting him into an advanced screening and I'm hoping they can snag me a ticket to. If not I'll totally be there at the midnight screening. Pretty damn excited for this one.

It's kind of a weird book to try to make into a movie though. I mean they could do something with it (and there's a good chance they will for the money), but still, it would be interesting to see how they would do it.

prometheus was a mess, first class went to shit after the young
mutants were introduced, and rise was alright but everyone had
extremely low expectations going in so it was a nice surprise.

The Hobbit is technically a prequel to The Lord of the Rings. The book was written first and the finding of the Ring sets up the story line in LOTR. I think that Jackson should have made this before LOTR, but I was worried he was never going to make The Hobbit and I cannot wait to see all three films. The third should be interesting, not sure what Jackson will put in it.

I just saw Prometheus a few days ago, I wasn't a big fan of it either. I was surprised by Rise too, but I didn't really have any expectations going in, so that probably helped. I enjoyed the Xmen movie quite a bit, but I have only seen it the one time in theaters.

I just found out pretty recently that the 2nd Indiana Jones movie was a prequel to the first one. Not that it's a good example (it's not the best Indy movie, but it's still solid), I was just surprised to find that out. I guess I just never noticed before.

first class would have been great if it just focused on how magneto
and professor x came to be the mutants we know them as in their
grudge match which is what they were doing so well until the
movie threw in a bunch of other useless subplots no one cared
about and completely detracted from the true interesting aspects.

Because The Lord of the Rings books were more popular than The Hobbit book.

That's some good logic at work. I've never read either series, so I don't know much about the books. I've just seen each LOTR movies once.

Pretty sure The Hobbit was always far more popular. LotR only broke out of geekdom with the movies, whereas the Hobbit has always been a fairly widely read adolescent novel
