Greetings. I had to sign up to comment on this wonderful set.

All six parts are marvelously edited, all six have none of the added claptrap, and I especially love how Arwen is now just a bystander to the river scene.(Never liked that.) Removed how Frodo and Sam were moved to the city by Faramir. When I heard the line “By all rights, we shouldn’t even be here” in the theater, There was a chorus of people shouting NO SH*T!

You Fixed Every Single Point of this trilogy that I Abhorred! Which, by the way, was all of the added BS that they added to give it more oomph, or whatever their complete and utter lie they told themselves that the series needed.

TEN STARS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I’m no Tolken purist but this series is a fantastic idea, and Part 1 is well thought out and so professionally done.

I haven’t watched the trilogy in 3 years, which is why I think I enjoyed this so much because I wasn’t distracted too much by what had changed. The new opening is fantastic. Thanks for the hard work!

A nice start to the series. Great job with the actual editing and a nice bonus cartoon as well! Looking forward to watching the next ones. :)

kerr,
Wow! Impressive debut. I personally had zero problems with your editing decisions. In fact quite the opposite, I thought they were excellent. The pacing was very compelling, and beginning the movie with Bilbo writing is Awesome. The battle flashbacks were mixed in perfectly, and even seemed to carry the ‘timing’ of PJ in the way they were interwoven. Audio transitions were seamless here.

I am very happy that I have Book II here to pop in :)

10/10 Stars
