I haven't watched the extended versions of the hobbit movies, and honestly, I'm not sure I can bring myself to sit through all of that again unless I was certain the final outcome would be waaaay better than the theatrical cut. The theatrical cut seemed like a mess, and the BotFA was the messiest of all. It made sense to give Bard more backstory, screen time and overall development because he's barely anything in the books. But rushing through every character death except Thorin's was... a choice.

I think studio meddling did a lot of damage and frankly, Peter Jackson just seemed so stressed and stretched thin in making the films. I don't think the same level of time and care was put into pre-production the way they were with the LOTR trilogy, and it shows.

AYRT.

That's fair, I wouldn't say whether you should or not as that's a personal choice, it's just for me my love for them outweighs my annoyance and I wanted to see what was cut and whether the last two movies are a bit more coherent with the added scenes. And to me they are but they're still movies that are stretched thin in odd ways.

They didn't get the same time and that's fairly clear from the appendices as well as some cast interviews where many of them weren't even sure the films would get made. It's a shame because what's good in these movies imo is good, but they jsut got bogged down with studio interference and not being given the same space that they did with LoTR.

Oh, I get it, I'm curious to see if the added scenes help, too. I'm just... kind of drained right now in terms of attention span. Watching the extended hobbit movies is on my "someday" list. But yeah, I'll never watch them without thinking what a shame and what they might've been. That prevents it from being even a popcorn flick for me.
