And yet, Warner is still putting out an "Extended Edition" that adds 13 never-before-seen minutes of footage. As such, the first Hobbit chapter is 2 hours and 49 minutes long.
To do so, one would expect that every bit of extra footage that could be made would be added to these movies to flesh them out into stand alone stories. But then the announcement was made that Jackson was going to be making THREE films from this one book.
However, Peter Jackson's original plan for The Hobbit was to split it into two separate films that's one book, two films. Now, one must keep in mind that each of the Lord of the Rings films were based on their respective books. In fact, I won't even watch the theatrical versions of those movies the extended versions are the truly the most complete versions to watch. The reason I say that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Extended Edition doesn't work quite as well as the Lord of the Rings Extended Editions is because I truly felt that nearly every minute added to The Lord of the Rings trilogy actually helped flesh out some areas that needed it and added to the character and story development. For that review, which is of the original Theatrical Version (and its Blu-Ray release), please click here. However, the first "Extended Edition" may not fair quite as well as the previous three had.įor this review, I'm going to be specifically addressing the changes in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - Extended Edition (and its bonus features in detail below) and not the film as a whole as much. are releasing extended versions of his latest project, the prequel to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit. In a similar fashion, Jackson and Warner Bros. When the idea for "Extended Editions" came about, he actually went back and filmed extra footage to flesh out his films for special "Extended Editions" to be released exclusively on DVD (and later Blu-Ray). When director Peter Jackson was making his Lord of the Rings trilogy over a decade ago, he had filmed more than enough footage to fill a reasonable amount of screen time.
