Synopsis:
As the title suggests, this edit removes all the unnecessary bloat that was added to the trilogy. Clocking in at just over five hours, this film aims to be as close as possible to what Jackson would've created in the originally planned two-part saga.

Intentions:
I made this fan edit because I was never quite pleased with what other edits offered. Everyone has their own taste and opinions, and I decided I may as well make my own version that I am happy to sit down and watch in place of the original films.

Change List:
As a film with so much going on, we do need to have the perspective of multiple characters, however giving every character and their grandma their own subplot is not the way to go. I have focussed the story telling on the three characters of Bilbo, Thorin & Bard, and thrown out any subplots from the point of view of Gandalf, Radagast, Azog, Bolg, Legolas, & Tauriel. This does not mean that they do not feature in the movie, in fact, all of these characters are still in the film in some way, but only as seen from the perspective of our key characters. The only major exception to this rule is the Master of Laketown, who has a few scenes with Alfred that I believe are necessary to give some background to both their characters. Additionally, there are obviously a few scenes with the dwarves where Thorin & Bilbo are not present, but they are few in number and are only included if they are part of the main storyline.
