I have been rewatching some franchise media that got bad receptions (new star trek movies, matrix reloaded, The Phantom Menace) and I have been feeling a lot more charitable to these works than I was the first time.
In this spirit I watched The Hobbit again and it is truly awful.
I enjoyed watching that when it was first created! Any word of a 1080p for that one? I’d even take a release of the timestamps so that I could make the edit to my 1080p versions.
Reloaded was well liked. Revolutions was widely panned. I also rewatched them both recently (all four plus the Animatrix in order, actually) and I found that I liked them more on rewatch, a couple decades later, than I did initially.
I recommend giving the X Man Series another try.
I recently did and it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling. The original timeline just feel like perfect cheap action movies from the 2000s. Brought me back to my childhood.
Same with the “Unbreakable Trilogy”

I seem to recall there being a pretty good fan edit that condensed it down into one long movie and cut out all the unnecessary love triangle stuff.

Is this the same edit made by Tolkien Editor or is it another cut?
It’s a different cut. Tolkien Editor wrote he edited over a weekend, the maple edit took 2 years.
Another edit is https://m4-studios.github.io/hobbitbookedit
Which is closer to the book, whereas maple is a bit more action/cinematic and hints at LOTR plot.
Thanks.
I can wouch for this one. Very well done. I wish they cut out more Alfrid time though.
Alfrid makes me understand why people hate Jar Jar so much.
You like Jar Jar?
I like Darth Jar Jar. I want video genAI to execute what it was really built for and replace Dooku with DarthJar.
There’s a few. I watched the M4 book edit recently and it’s pretty great.
Certainly cut out a few scenes I liked, but it’s goal was to be book accurate and it does a great job IMO.

The list of changes is remarkable.
It’s called The Tolkien Edit

Other than that 3 hour dance scene, I agree
I wish it was that long :/
Prequel to 8 sense

On the other hand, rewatching any season of True Detective is doable.
