I loved the world, the characters and the story but the movies had too many issues that prevented me from being happy.""Fast forward a bit and I come across Dustin Lee's 'JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit' edit and I was filled with hope. I watch it and enjoy it but still something is missing. I love a lot about the Hobbit and much like Lotr if there is quality material I say the more the merrier. Some of my favorite scenes were left out of the edit, while others were severely trimmed for the sake of fitting everything into one four hour movie. Furthermore while the edit had a lot of great innovations it also had some awkward cuts or transitions. I started off by inserting a few scenes into Dustin's edit and fixing some transitions until eventually I decided to create my own edit from scratch with 5.1 surround sound bluray quality. My goal had become to create what would eventually be a bluray box that would sit proudly next to my Lotr bluray set on my shelf.'"
