All in all this edit should provide a more satisfying conclusion to the Hobbit trilogy. The battle itself has also been recut heavily to focus more on character moments than on over-the-top effects and action sequences. Unnecessary side plots, such as Tauriel’s banishment and the brief mentions of Angmar and Legolas’ mother, have been cut, keeping the focus on the plot threads that actually matter. Many scenes in the original feel a bit disjointed and disconnected from the main story, so removing some scenes entirely and reordering the rest has hopefully resulting in a more exciting build-up to the battle. The first act has also been recut and reordered considerably to create a better and more logical flow. While the original cut featured several great character moments and dramatic scenes, there was unfortunately too much focus on battle scenes, action and silly comedy, which detracts from what is actually a good and effective drama – which I have tried to bring back to the forefront. In addition to keeping the focus on the main characters and storylines, my aim has been to improve the pacing and creating a more consistent tone. Like before, I’ve tried to keep the focus as much as possible on Bilbo, Thorin and Gandalf, while still giving the various side characters their moments to shine, without drawing attention away from the main story. The third and final installment of my “Arkenstone” edit trilogy.
