It would be fine if the movie was shorter, but it's over 4 hours long and a movie this long needs some slower parts in my opinion. In The Hobbit the action basically doesn't stop once the company reaches the Misty Mountains and I honestly felt a bit dizzy towards the end.
There was plenty of action, but there was enough time between action scenes. The balance between action and peacful moments is what made the LOTR great in my opinion. The only thing I didn't like was that there aren't enough peaceful moments in the movie. Almost everything that has bothered me in the original cuts is gone and every scene make sense, even though you cut the movies in half. I have to say this is by far the best Hobbit cut I've ever seen. (The screenshot for Disc 1 says "5.1 Dolby Digital", while the screenshot for Disc 2 says "5.1 Surround Sound.") To me this is not a question about the substance and quality of your work, it is a technical question to which the answer eludes me.įor that matter, are both of them even Dolby Digital, or is there a further downmix? You mentioned that the menus "will look identical on both DVD and Bluray" so that's not it. You previously indicated that the Blu-ray ISOs were in the 30GB range, so there is obviously plenty of room on the 50 GB BD-R DL disc. The difference is noticeable if you have a decent home theater set up. Since you indicated that "This fan edit has been created using only the highest-quality media available", I guess I'm wondering why the Blu-ray reference release is not getting the lossless 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track. It (kind of) made sense on the digital download to keep the size down. My question from the screenshots: is there only lossy 5.1 audio on the Blu-ray? If so, that seems like kind of a glaring omission. Many people seem to be focusing on various issues they have visually with the edit (color correction, missing scenes, etc.).
Thanks for all the hard work and I am looking forward to the Blu-ray.
