First look at Thorin Oakenshield from THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

The internet has exploded this week with the numerous pictures released from Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Today we have our first look at Thorin Oakenshield played by Richard Armitage. Check out the full-size image below:

Here is a character description:

As a young Dwarf prince, Thorin witnessed the destruction and terror wrought when a great fire-breathing Dragon attacked the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor. After slaughtering many of Thorin’s kin, the great serpent, Smaug, entered The Lonely Mountain and took possession of its vast store of gold and jewels. No-one came to the aid of the surviving Dwarves, and thus, a once proud and noble race was forced into exile. Through long years of hardship, Thorin grew to be a strong and fearless fighter and revered leader. In his heart a fierce desire grew; a desire to reclaim his homeland and destroy the beast that had brought such misery upon his people. So when fate offers him an unusual ally, he seizes the chance for revenge.

The first Hobbit film opens in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D theaters on December 14th 2012. I can not wait to see this movie and am loving everything that I have seen thus far. What are your thoughts?
