RangerKris successfully strips this film of it’s over the top antics and gratuitous violence. Center stage is the hobbit for which the story is named. Smaug is no longer part of a series of cut-rate and beatable video game bosses–he is the greatest of calamities. A delight to watch, Into the Fire is the masterfully edited story rescued from The Desolation of Smaug.

Thank you RangerKris.

Dear Peter Jackson:

Please hire the 613th incarnation of Ranger Kris. He'll make a fine addition to your editing team and just might save you 15% on car insur. . . wait, fuck, wrong script. If you'd hired Ranger Kris earlier, he could have saved you scores of millions on unnecessary CGI, but at this point in the game, he can at least pare your last installment of The Lord of the Hobbits to half of whatever length you think the audience should endure. In other words, Ranger Kris can halfling-ize your halfling movie. Thank you.

Wearing a flaming Sauron disco suit,

Thank you for this edit =) I expected much from this sequel but it was boring, and full of things that just didn't exist in the book just to fill a movie with 3h bahhh. I only wished that you've changed that end music, it is so not LOTR/Hobbit bahhh. Enya, Emiliana Torrini, Annie Lennox etc super cool but this one???? well, overall I praise you. =)

I've fallen way behind on reviewing edits that I have watched, and I have watched this one twice. I will keep this short. It is perfect. I had never watched any of the Lord of the Rings movies, nor the first Hobbit movie---neither had I read the books. But reading some of the summaries and reviews here for the different edits, I decided to try, since my main reason for keeping away had been the length. I am currently reading The Hobbit and loving it. So for me, this edit is the sequel to Kerr's Hobbit, the Arkenstone Edition, since that is the only version of the 1st movie I had seen. And it works perfectly. There is no hint that anything at all has been cut, re-ordered or fan-edited in any way. It simply plays like an excellent movie. I have every intention of watching this a third time, along with a 3rd re-watch of Kerr's Arkenstone cut of the 1st Hobbit, before I may actually venture to the theater in December to see the unedited 3rd and final movie. I am really a big fan of this edit, and reading the book concurrently with it, it makes it even more impressive to me. If there were going to be big flaws, I would definitely notice them since Tolkien's words are so fresh to me now (I have only just read beyond the point where this edit ends). I suppose I owe it to myself to see the original Jackson version now, but I know there is no way it could be better than what you have presented here. I give out a lot of pretty positive reviews around here, but this is one I wish I could give an "11" instead of just a 10. Just excellent and highly recommended to everyone! It also got my vote for edit of the month.
