Synopsis:
If you're looking for the Orcs, Radagast, the love story and the council to be removed, this isnt the edit for you. But if you're looking for a toned down version of the films, this is the edit for you.
Intentions:
At first I wanted to bring it back to the original structure Guillermo Del Toro had planned, but I felt ending with Bard was something of an anti-climax for a 2h30m movie. So I've used Gandalf's Dol Guldur scene to give the film a more explosive ending.
Change List:
- Dwarf prologue and Frodo gone - Shire lasts 21mins - Radaghast opening scene gone - Troll death made less clunky - Troll cave reduced - Radagast and Gandalf talk reduced - Chase scene reduced - Elves & Dwarf dinner gone - Stone giants gone - Goblin scene reduced - Beorn gone - Thranduil and Tauriel scene reduced - Tauriel and Kili reduced - Barrell scene reduced.
Additional Notes:
All the Dol Guldur scenes from The Desolation of Smaug have been incorporated into this film.
