First off, I would like to comment on how the idea of separating the 3 movies into a series of 6 is brilliant. I have never read the books, but I loved the concept so I decided to give this a go.

Book 1 was very enjoyable. It ran so smoothly I forgot which parts you actually took out, as I missed none of them. The new opening and closing sequences were extremely well done and very effective. Right away they take the viewer and overwhelm them with the fact that they are about to experience LOTR in an entirely new way. The ending was also nicely executed and the not mentioning of Gandolf until book 2 was a very good way to build the suspense. I honestly cant think of any negatives or criticisms of Book 1, it really was very well done. 5/5

Downloaded this yesterday, I really cant believe this is your first edit, amazing stuff. Couldn’t fault it anywhere (not that I was trying to). Look forward to the next book, enjoyed every minute of it, and this is without doubt a much better way to watch Lord Of The Rings.

I shall be rating this 5/5 if I could give it more I would. Excellent job.
