Synopsis:

This Fanedit transforms the first Hobbit movie and part of the second one of the Trilogy into one 3 hours and 16 minutes montage, making the story go forward with better pace, taking out filler, ridiculous scenes and the silly romance of Tauriel and Kili.

Intentions:

The Hobbit Trilogy is not as good as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, but it has some very good moments. So, my intention here was to go back to the roots when this production was still going to be a 2 Parts movie instead of trilogy, so I took what I believe was the best of the first two and transformed it into a single movie. I did it because I always thought The Hobbit is not a book that should have 3 movies, cause it is not that long or dense as LOTR. And time gave me the reason, because I still feel like the first two movies are way too overlong and have a story that could be told in one film. So this is my attempt to make it that way. But don't expect changes like removing the bouncing barrels scene or the molten gold, because I actually didn't have problem AT ALL with those scenes. This is an attempt of reducing the trilogy while being loyal to Peter Jackson's vision, which I actually enjoyed for the most part.

Change List:

Better Pace, trimmed a lot of scenes and some stuff in the story were changed in order to make it advance faster or make them less silly. Cuts and Additions: Some of the major changes: -The Film opens with Bilbo narrating the Story of Erebor. I added the Thranduil part where the dwarves don't give him the jewels and Girion trying to Kill Smaug. 60 years past after that. Then we move to Thorin and Gandalf discussing about going to Erebor and take the Arkenstone back. -Trimmed a lot of stuff from the Dwarf visit to Bilbo's house in order to begin the adventure as soon as possible. As in the original movie, Bilbo will reject Gandalf's invitation to be the burglar of the company, but the next day he changes his mind. Just it's shorter. The Misty Mountain Song is on par with the scene where Bilbo wakes up the next morning and finds out the dwarves are gone -All of those Bilbo's troubles about coming back to the Shire, or Thorin believing Bilbo is worthless are not in the fan edit. -Some action sequences were cut a little bit in order to make the story go forward. For example, the Goblin Town part or the Orcs chasing the dwarves while being distracted by Radagast. -One of Radagast scene was cut. Radagast is introduced when he talks to Gandalf about Dol Guldur. -Trolls scene was cut a little bit because i found it kind of silly and cartoonish, but anyways, i did what i thought it could be done. Not everything could be cut. -The complete search for Thorin's Father was added and continues in the next part. -Rivendel part was cut a lot in order to make the story flow faster. -Some footage was used as Flashbacks. When Galadriel talks about the Witch King, i Added the scene where he is buried in his tomb. -The audience does not know about Azog being alive until the Goblin King reveals he is hunting Thorin. -The love story between Kili and Tauriel was completely cut. -Because I cut the scene where the orc reveals Kili was shot with a Morgul Shaft, I modified the subtitles at some points to explain why is Kili so weak. -Once the dwarves get the toll gate, they are not stopped by Alfrid. Just a natural transition to the inside of the city. -You know the prophecy of Durin's Folk and stuff which people of Lake Town were discussing? yeah well, that was cut. No Prophecy at all. -Tauriel decides to fight Orcs and evil because she feels it's rotting their world, and she convinces Legolas to fight along her. -The First Part ends after the dwarves open the hidden door, so everything about the Arkenstone and Smaug resolves in the next fan edit.

Other Sources:

I used some parts of the Extended Editions, but nothing too important. Just scenes that help me to make the story more complete, or helped me to make a better transition. Let's face it, the Extended Editions of the Hobbit are not as intriguing as the LOTR ones.
