How would (you) fix the hobbit movies?
1 movie instead of 3
I liked them so probably just have Smaug kill more people and survive.
>>214494706They don't need fix. These fan edits are all awful.
the 4 hour edit that's closer to the books is pretty good until the third act when it just can't be salvaged
>>214494706>>214494742I made fan edits for my own private viewing that I believe considerably improve the trilogy without drastically changing its content and structureI believe most of the fan-edits that turn it into one or two movies are a bit messy when it comes to pacing, characterization and expositionMy version is basically a replacement for the official product... You get everything that works, and I removed most of the things that didn't (to the best of my abilities)
>>214494706Cut out Alfred scenes entirely from the third movie and add more Thranduil
>>214495046it's a pity they cut the scene that was basically the fulcrum to his entire character, as well as the only justification for why Legolas and Tauriel had so much screentime and a love trianglehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1589qbXUGoI've re-included it into my fan-edit >>214494768but I was unable to make the transition from official HDR 4K footage to this scene (from the appendices, not the youtube link) seamless
>>214495152OP here. I actually watched that deleted scene right before making this thread, it's what made me want to make it
>>214494768Where can i download it?
>>214494706Remove literally every single scene with Legolas, the female elf and that ugly human who was only there for comedy relief, for starters.
>>214495152Because it looks stupid for Gandalf to randomly be there
>>214494756Yeah I just saw that one and agree that it's not too bad until Smaug flies away from Erebor. I never saw the third movie but it must have been dogshit.
>>214495753i haven't uploaded it anywhere, it's like 22 gigs per movie... But before uploading it i'd like to give it another pass, and fix some of my poorest edits>>214495817who cares. The scene brings the whole "elven" side of the story full circle
>>2144947063 was bloated and having Smaug die in 2 minutes at the beginning of 3 was retarded but in hindsight if you can just binge these then there’s nothing wrong with them and they’re kino.
>>214494706smaug is the best villian so make him the main. do practical effects for orcs instead of shitty cgi, more songs spend almost no time on the humans because humans in fantasy are the worst part of the genre.
