We tend to not discuss on this board, the Peter Jackson films that much as most members seem to be much more interested in other adaptations, such as audio-books, BBC Radio adaptations, Bakshi and Rankin Bass productions.
I am much more interested in these than the Peter Jackson films, I can watch the PJ Lord of the Rings but can't think of anything worse than watching his production of The Dwarves.
I can sit through 'fellowship', and I can watch the coming of the rohirrim to the Pelennor, but really i'm just hoping the amazon series can restore my faith in filming middle-earth. Perhaps the fact that the series will have more distance from the books I love will make it easier to enjoy the tv-series....
An Ultimate version would take to every single movie with a very sharp editing knife. The Hobbits can't be salvaged, but LoTR would be pretty watchable with an hour of Jackson-Walshism cut out across the entire trilogy. The one thing PJ never has grasped is the idea that less can be more.

If they cut 70% of prolonged close-ups of suffering-frodo-face, they would have had time for the old forrest 😁

Yep, and they could cut out some photos of Sam looking lovingly at Frodo and fit in the Barrow Wights.
