the hobbit movies will have the peter jackson touch. no doubt about it. del toro is using jackson's production and design companies and everything. they certainly want to retain the look and feel that made lotr so popular. the fans want quality uniformity in the beloved franchises movie productions AND it's the habit of studios and producers to go with what has worked in the past. so, it's safe to assume that if you liked the lotr trilogy, you'll love the hobbit movies.
