Can someone make a Return of the King edit that doesn't suck? Fellowship Extended and Two Towers Extended are all definitely the best.
Theatrical Edition: Pretty bad Extended Edition: Adds some great stuff but overall makes the weakness of the theatrical edition worse aka drawing out the ending for over an hour
I think you could take all the stuff down and make a better film at 2hours 15 minutes or 2 hours 30 minutes
A while back somebody mentions a recut of the Hobbit that actually made the third movie watchable and cut out a lot of the filler. Anyone have a link to it or know which one it is?
Jeremiah Brooks
This is the name if it: JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit DEC 2015 FINAL.
Christian Hernandez
why are you watching this shit? aragorn doesn't even have a tax policy, tolkien was a hack. if you want good fantasy watch Game of Thrones.
Nicholas Watson
Is there filler in the third movie? It's the shortest of the trilogy.
Brody Smith
The entire trilogy is filler. The Hobbit is maybe two two hour movies.
Jonathan Cox
It's decent, but still needs more work this is it
the ending still suffers from stupid shit, it needs to be edited more where bilbo gets knocked out and theres almost no battle shown. also the rock giants need to be added in as they were cut for some reason when they are in the book.
Wyatt Turner
Well I'm going to do my own edit now and I will upload it somewhere if you want when I'm done. If you want anything particularly not cut let me know, otherwise I am going to try and trim it down but still give it good pacing.
Sebastian Wright
The Hobbit book is filler in the first place. The movies did a better job at exploring the characters.
Chase Brown
Fan edits are always shit because they miss the point of movies' themes and characters. They should at least look for the "behind the scenes" before editing something.
Justin Diaz
The Hobbit was a children's story you man child.
Oliver Moore
Wow this is the first argument I've ever heard in favor of the hobbit that I can agree with. Although some of the "exploring characters" was nonsense.
Like Alfrid.
Bard = good Boern = eh not bad but underused extended gives him a little more in desolation of smaug Tauriel = its okay but is it needed Kili = we get Kili to have a bigger part but Fili is even less prominent Balin = good Dwalin = good Bilbo = good but still underused Thorin = good Smaug = pretty good
Overall Tauriel and Kili are not good additions
Jeremiah Kelly
Yea I agree with you that if the editor doesn't actually think about the filmmaking and just editing it doesn't work this one I think was better than most fan edits ive seen in that regard, there was just a lot that needed to be cut and for the most part i recall his cuts and editing working with the story. the good things that are eliminated are tauriel and kili. but in doing this you end up reducing the tragedy of kili dying in the first place.
cutting stuff like the beg flashback is good .

The book was great. It just wasn't a Peter Jackson type epic.
Jaxson Bennett
Basically the only part I probably can't decide on is Sauruman in the beginning should it be kept or not?
Elijah Barnes
This has to be b8. Every line of her dialogue, from her introduction to her last scene, was fucking cringe. She's fanfic tier.
I don't have anything against putting in female characters or elves but everything about Tauriel sucked. She'd have been better as a one-scene nameless elf that Thorin catcalls when she walks by his cell, then she roasts him like in the movie, then we never see her again except maybe in some reaction shots.
The Hobbit felt like it was taking the Disney Wars approach in re-doing scenes from LotR but none of it has any meaning. Tauriel is the perfect example of that. Arwen and Eowyn were different than in the books, but you can't say they were bad in the movies. Hackson had Tauriel doing everything Arwen and Eowyn did-healing a character and WHOA she looks like an angel!! and killing bad guys/saving other characters, but she is completely flat.
Ask yourself, what does his presence add to the story and titular character of the Hobbit?
Thomas Rogers
No I'm talking about Saruman at the beg of Return of the King
Jayden Peterson
I agree that's why I said Tauriel wasn't needed, her existence in a scene or two though including the one with Kili in the dungeon could have been left in and worked if her role was more simple and less pronounced
Basically cutting most of her
Kayden Fisher
Get "The Tolkien Edit", it eliminates anything that was not in the book. This turns a ridiculous 8 hour trilogy into one solid 4 hour movie.
It's actually quite good. Sure there are logical inconsistencies due to the shit movie and the smaug CGIs refurbishment when he flies out of the Lonely Mountain is a bit off but in other aspects it's good and wholesome. The pale nazi as the shit castrated villain is still in, but just for the closure and Thorin's death.
Liam Bell
Have you faggots heard of a fanfic called Born of Hope?
People say its good but im not sure if they mean good by the standards of a free amateur production or genuinely watchable.
Joseph Long
Fan-fiction is categorically pure trash as it's born out of obsession combined with lack of innovation.
Noah Ortiz
Yeah Id normally expect that.
It got some good reviews but its not clear if the reiviews are saying its 'good by normal standards' or 'good considering its low budget fanfiction trash'.
Hudson Reyes
Just because you only read Sonic fics, or My Immortal, that doesn't mean all fanfics are trash, you dunce.

I found the whole part about Frodo really being a trans black woman to be jarring and out of place.

Kerr 6 book edit is what you want
Landon Ross
Probably but I'm not a purist I want the best film possible not just everything cut that isn't in the book even if it works
Aiden Cook
I'm making my own edit, I will do Peter Jackson and every one of you proud. I'm cutting some stupid shit though.
Matthew Sanchez
Why the goal to turn it into a taut, 90-minute thrill ride? When you marathon this shit once every 3 years, it's good to have a lot of extra screen detail & embellishment. If you're going for better fidelity to the books then you'd need to cut scenes characterizing women and otherwise add a lot of stuff that got cut out, such as Tom Bombadil-o and Saruman taking over the Shire, Sam wearing the Ring, extend some of the camping/ walking shots, etc.
Jacob Smith

Angel Campbell
The Hobbit is a simple adventure book. Loved reading it when I was a kid.
John Price
I rewatched the trilogy not long ago and was surprised to not like it much. Too much heroes being invincible and killing 2 billion retarded foes without any effort, armor being totally irrelevant and CGI for major creatures inevitably dating the film.
