Review Detail

I was very skeptical going into this as I am not fond of The Hobbit movies. Consider me very impressed with this edit. With so much fat trimmed off, each episode feels like it tells its own little story while still keeping in focus the big picture. As an adult having seen the original movies, I feel it does tarnish some of the experience since I know what was originally there, so it's easy to see the seems at times. With that said, I consider the source material and what was had to work from and the seems are very small. If I saw this version as a kid, this would be like my equivalent of watching "The Neverending Story". It would be with me for a long time and make me all the more excited to see a sequel like LOTR. While this is the only fanedit I've seen thus far of The Hobbit, I can definitely say it's worth adding to your collection.
