As a film editor I felt it would be a fantastic exercise in narrative structure and pacing. I enjoyed the Hobbit trilogy, but like many people felt the story was stretched a little thin. Like butter over too much bread, if you will. There are many elements which I really enjoyed – the performances, Martin Freeman in particular, were excellent, and it was a joy to just be back in Peter Jackson’s vision of Middle Earth again as I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy."
