I saw a pretty good three hour cut of all three Hobbit movies. I don't remember what it was called, but I think they only used like 20 min of the last movie.

I'm guessing not much of Fast and Furious: Minecart Racing made it into that cut.

Maple Films' edit is pretty good. Chops out the majority of the dwarf backstory, all of the wizard side quests, and significantly cuts down the superfluous action sequences, resulting in a strong narrative which follows Bilbo's story exclusively, as it should.

don't get me started about that cringey romance arc too...

Yeahhhh that really wasn’t necessary at all.

The animated Hobbit movie from the 70's is still better than the Peter Jackson trilogy just on the music alone.

But his LOTR trilogy is better than the animated LOTR one. I mean... It at least finished the story.

I think there's an animated Return of the King by the same people who made the animated Hobbit. I haven't seen it though so idk how good it is.
