Today's question:
Can you make a good movie of _The Hobbit_ by just cutting out all the extra crap Peter Jackson added to bloat it into a trilogy?
I'll let you know what I find.
I propose that the best way to watch _The Hobbit_ is to just watch the preview for part one that was just the dwarves singing, then read the book.
@WomanCorn It's a tough question, I think you could easily make it two films but probably not three, cause the filler isn't standalone, you can't necessarily get rid of it all.
The answer is... not really.
You can cut out all the extra crap, but you can't fix the fact that the scriptwriters wrote Thorin as a jerk for 90% of the movie.
(I watched a fan edit calling itself "The Tolkien Edit" which cut everything not in _The Hobbit_.)
