With the exception of Gollum, this looks terrible.

It's really starting to look that Jackson's experimentation is
going to hinder this film. Everything looks incredibly cartoony,
the colours are all very vibrant, bordering on too much, and the
CG is excruciatingly obvious (those wolves) even some of the
make-up/hair and sets look artificial. On top of that, judging
by the trailer, it looks like this film is going to be about
four or five set-pieces with some travelogues to fill up the
time. :-\

I don't see anything wrong with the movie at all. Maybe it's
because I'm thinking of the 1977 cartoon and I couldn't imagine
how anybody could make The Hobbit any worse than that.

Looks fine to me. Can't wait.
Hobbit is a children's adventure book and hence people would
think that it looks cartoony. Even the period it is set in, was
a relatively happy and blissful time in Middle Earth (as opposed
to LOTR). I'm sure you guys will get used to it gradually.

I still think it looks great, it's not going to ever match Lord
of the Rings but it shouldn't be trying to. I actually like that
it looks a bit more comedic and light-hearted than the trilogy.
I'm surprised they haven't shown any glimpses of Legolas and
Evangeline Lilly's character, I want to see what she looks like.

I didn't know they were finally getting around to another Narnia
film! ;)
But then again, it is a kid's book so perhaps they're just being
faithful to the tone of it instead of 'darkening' everything
with bleakness *shrugs*

My problem with it is not its lighthearted tone or whatever, my
problem is that it just doesn't seem like it has anything new to
offer.
Oh and I know it's still early and all that and it might
actually be better in the film itself, but still, that CGI looks
like shit.

That explains a lot! Those are valid flaws you've mentioned,
too.
