Well, "The Hobbit" is definitely not what I would call a 'serious fantasy story'. Never do you think there is a chance something truly bad will happen. It looks as if (based on the trailer) the mood they are approaching is much more like LOTR. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it is a definite departure.
The original story is a lark.
