Del who makes me cry.
Del Toro is a fantastic director, much better than Peter Jackson, in my opinion.
I just hope that he is involved with the creature design. His input into the process always delivers the most unique and interesting designs to hit film in many, many years.
I am sad to hear that he will disappear for about four years, though. His films are always enjoyable, even when he is given a poor script.

I am really looking forward to the first Hobbit movie, I have no reservations whatsoever with Del Torro directing the movie. Besides, Peter Jackson will be helping with the project, he will make sure the movie turns out right.
As for the second hobbit movie, however, I am a little hesitant. What story will they be following? What canon will they draw from? I guess I will have to wait and see.

Hm. That changes a few things, but I guess ultimately I'll still just have to see. I'm glad they aren't splitting The Hobbit into two films, but the content of the second has me worried.

"The second Hobbit film will be set in the 60-year period between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring."
What.
I repeat myself.
WHAT.
I'd like to know what sort of controlled substance they were on to think this was a good idea.

They should save their money and do some Simarillion/Lost Tales movies, instead. The Children of Turin, anyone?
