Reduce the film to the perspective of the three key characters, Bilbo, Thorin & Bard.     2. Create a good edit, that flows well, feels & sounds like a real film, and doesn’t any contain major continuity errors. 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. In addition to these two main goals, I also aimed to remove any and all other unneeded bloat from the film, ranging from cutting entire action sequences, to single lines of dialogue. Anything that I believe just didn’t need to be there and didn’t aid the film in any way."
