- usrusr 3y agoI believe that a 90 minutes cut of matrix 2+3 could be actually enjoyable.
- mavhc 3y ago"people copied our cool effects for Matrix 1, what if we make the action scenes so long and expensive no one would even bother to copy them because they all went home before they were over?"
- AdamJacobMuller 3y agoHopefully that's 19 hours of LOTR with the 2-3 hours of the hobbit which was good.
- frfl 3y agoNo, it's uncut, all deleted scenes, extended version of all movies if I'm not mistaken. It's not a "remix" edit, the 19 hour one I'm referring to. https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/comments/bo8how/middle_earth_chronological_complete_edition/ https://www.reddit.com/r/fanedits/comments/bo8how/middle_ear...
- dylan604 3y agoIn the "2-3 hours of the hobbit which was good" are you including the animated versions as well? I'd be hard pressed to find 2-3 hours from the travesty that Jackson made
- dmos62 3y agoWhat didn't you like about it?
- Tostino 3y agoDifferent person, but just about everything. It simply wasn't enjoyable, at all. I'm just talking about the first hobbit, I have somehow managed to purge the memory of seeing the others from my memory.
- stevekemp 3y agoI liked the LotR adaptations, though there were a few things I was pretty disappointed with. But when it came to the Hobbit films it was a different story entirely, I saw the first and didn't love it. I saw the second and actively disliked it, so I figured I'd save myself the pain and haven't seen the third and I have no intention of watching it. It's a shame that it was badly rushed, and split (needlessly) into three parts. But despite the close association it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the LotR films, which I rewatch every few years.
- dylan604 3y agoWith all of the creative licensing that was taken with the content, I was really hoping that the Hobbit would have reduced the camp and gave it different tone to match the rest of the "universe". Instead, we got 20 minutes of dwarves throwing plates around and singing songs that does nothing except show examples of how the thinnest book was turned into 3 friggin' movies. That's just one of the issues I had, but they don't get any nicer from there
- phatfish 3y agoEven in LOTR there are some wobbly sections outside the big story beats, when you re-watch it now. It's a good book to film adaptation of difficult material though. I passed on The Hobbit.
- slyall 3y agoYou probably want the "Maple Edit" of the Hobbit (also known as "J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit"). It is 247 minutes and is setup as a single film with intermissions.

- telman17 3y agoI had no idea about this! Thank you for linking!
- vkou 3y agoThe best way to watch that is almost certainly to come in on ~hour 10.
- runeofdoom 3y agoThere are also fan-made "book edits" of LotR and the Hobbit that purge as much non-book material as possible while keeping th film coherent.
