GarandMarine:
For someone who disliked some of the Jackson edits, there's a new "Tolkein" cut you can try that covers the whole trilogy. https://tolkieneditor.wordpress.com/

I watched the first one and went "Eh, well, they had to tie into the Trilogy somehow."  i watched the second one and was like "Oh, come on.  Orcs along the river during the barrel ride?  Orcs in Laketown?  Puh-lease."  It was just far too egregious a trangression that Peter Jackson committed against a book that I've first read as an 8-year old, long before I discovered the Trilogy.  I still have not seen Battle of the Five Armies and will only do so when/if it is on television during a non-election year so I don't have to watch any goddam political commercials during it.

Still, there were some things that should have been left in

For mine, it's not so much the thirty-seven endings (which, as already pointed out, are in the book anyway). It's more that, in the film, the character of those endings cross that fine line from sentimental firmly into mawkish.

I found the second film has the same problem, albeit to a lesser extent.

FotR is the only film I really enjoyed. Yes, I realise that I'm in a tiny minority.

It's kind of gratifying that people are no longer entirely uncritical of everything that Peter Jackson does.
