Die Resonanz ist auf TORnet. im Großen und Ganzen recht positiv:
Der hier ist mein Lieblingskommentar:

"...As my favorite characters in Mr. Tolkien's universe have always been Thorin, Beorn and Radagast, I'm very happy to see Thorin so well represented by Mr. Armitage and the wonderful costume and make up folk. WETA take a bow. I want that armor and Orcrist. X-x. This is the first Middle Earth costume/weapon that I'd really love to own.
Personally, I think Thorin looks like a younger Ian McShane and somewhat Klingon-like. I mean this in the most positive, warrior based sense. This is a dwarf who will reclaim his throne and kingdom no matter what. Very fierce, very blunt, very arrogant.
Richard is Perfect.
Hot in a very charismatic, character driven way, but I do not see Richard's Thorin in the same kind of hot vein as Kili and Legolas/Aragon.
I'd follow Thorin Oakenshield to the Lonely Mountain and die for him. Hell, I'd do that if they aged the character more.
It's all in Richard's commanding gaze. I believe he'll own this part. May the purists forgive me, but I do hope PJ and Fran have embellished some of Thorin's speeches so he gets as much screen time as possible.
If I were Bilbo, I'd be really nervous around Richard's Thorin.
I think all of the dwarves are wonderful in their design and look. Very unique.
My favorites (in order) are:
Thorin > a dwarf king if ever there was. I cannot wait to see Richard go full Thorin on the enemy and pass a bit of cranky onto Bilbo.
It will be very hard to watch him die
because I can already sense how much Richard has invested into the role. ..."
Auf ganz viel screen time hoffe ich übrigens auch
