After the credits, we open on Gandalf imprisoned in Dol Guldur, and the White Council coming to rescue him.Replaced opening credits music with a piece from “Over Hill” from the AUJ soundtrack, which wasn’t used in that film, and that I wasn’t able to restore in my AUJ edit either – but it finds a new home here.Several bits of Howard Shore’s unused music have also been restored, wherever possible. In addition, the film has been color corrected to match the more vivid colors used in AUJ and my DoS edit, creating a more coherent color palette for the three films. 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.
