>>19190937This. If you cut 50% of the LOTR films it is a 10/10. Scenes were Aragorn and company? Kino. Scenes with Gandalf? Kino. Scenes were Mordor and the death metal album cover art come to life? FUCKING KINO. A scene with Frodo and Sam crying in each others arms for half an hour? CUT THAT SHIT OUT. Marry and Pippin doing retarded shit and miraculously not getting killed for it? CUT THAT SHIT OUT. Gollum talking to himself for half an hour? CUT THAT SHIT OUT!
For every kino sequence there is half on hour of shit that makes you want to fall asleep.
