Honestly, a skilled editor could probably chop all three movies down to a single pretty good movie. The filler is really the main thing that ruins them for me.
Oh yeah, the casting was literally the only good part of those movies.
And a good rendition of “Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold” in the first movie.
True, that man choir rocked that shit.
That’s fair. The sound track as a whole is pretty good.
Ian McKellen was great as Gandalf.
He did an extended interview recently and was still super charming

I think I’ve heard that a fan already did that. Apparently it’s not bad
It’s good. That person also cut the extraneous content into a separate movie you can watch as a supplement.
