Over-reliance on CGI in movies

It would have been better to make one film, and treat it like the fantasy it was (more geared towards children). Have a framing sequence where Bilbo is telling a very young Frodo about his adventure "there and back again." But alas, that's not the world we live in.

Obviously doesn't fix tone issues, but does chop the runtime in half by eliminating much of the most-obviously-superfluous content.

This looks cool, I love fan edits. Kind of depressing it's DVD-quality, though.

I don't know how they compare but here's another edit that's 1080p and about 50gb: http://www.maple-films.com/downloads.html
