The extended battle scenes are much more interesting and the funeral of Thorin, Kili, and Fili should have been included in the theatrical version.
Agreed. I found the funeral scene moving and it should not have been taken out.
#12 They’re dead?!
The movies are way too long. Too many scenes that are just walking and walking and riding and riding. Any other movie would have had a wipe and the characters are there at the destination.
