This is the only way I can watch them. I don't want to waste several days watching a film a night. Give me the whole epic from start to finish in one sitting! My ADHD hyperfocus will help me power through it, as long as I have enough drinks and food prepared.

Add in The Hobbit: The Tolkien Edit at the beginning and you have a pretty full day. The Tolkien Edit is a fan edit that removes all the fluff that's not in the books and combines the Hobbit trilogy into one 4-hr film.

I tried Tolkien edit but it didn't sit right. Can't recommend Maple Films edit enough though! Felt the flow was much better.

Still too much Alfrid though.

I'm guessing the sources of the three movies were the extended edition?

What other editions are there? Can't think of any...

There is M4's Book edit and I quite enjoy that one.

Woah, they made a Hobbit movie! I hope they kept it to one movie, because there's really not enough content to stretch to three and it'd turn out horribly. As long as they aren't really dumb there's no way it could possible be bad.
