Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 They should be recut to alternate between eras like The Godfather, Part II. Until then: An Unexpected Journey --> The Fellowship of the Ring --> The Desolation of Smaug --> The Two Towers --> The Battle of the Five Armies --> The Return of the King Incanus and SafeUnderHill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,220 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 It would put a lot of the music in an interesting context, too. Imagine when the Nazgûl first burst forth Shire-bound from Minas Morgul. Aha! I've heard this before! And when Barad-dûr falls, the viewer has already been prepped for the upcoming happy ending theme. SafeUnderHill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KK 3,307 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I wouldn't recommend the Hobbit films to my friends. Not because I think they're shit or anything, just because I don't have the heart to vouch for them (unless they're already Tolkien geeks). I'd heavily advocate for them to watch LOTR, and let them decide if they want to move on with the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you're going to watch a sextology, do it in the order the director intended, to get the full intentions. Or else, why bother? No film of either trilogy should be watched for itself, so if you're going to watch all six films as a whole, do it the intended way.Makes sense.Are you even serious? THAT makes sense to you, but Hobbit before LotR doesn't? Dafuck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I don't know about newbies, but I will always do them chronologically. I simply can not endure 24 hours of films with the new ones coming after the really good ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilal 569 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Depends on the nature of the newbie, I guess, but in most cases I'd advise to avoid the Hobbit trilogy at all costs . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacksparrow900 32 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 After spending last weekend watching all six films in order. I would definitely watch The Hobbit before The Lord Of The Rings. I found after watching The Hobbit I picked up on all these references in The Fellowship. That's just my opinion. SafeUnderHill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you're going to watch a sextology, do it in the order the director intended, to get the full intentions. Or else, why bother? I seldom watch more than twenty minutes of a sextology. I get out of it what I need and move on. But a hexalogy? Hmm, I don't know. I would rather watch TLOTR cinematic followed by TLOTR extended, but keep The Hobbit movies out of the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 If you're a complete newbie, I'd advice this:LotR TC If you really like those, follow with the LotR EEThen the Hobbit TC's.Then the Hobbit EE's.Then watch LotR again to see how The Hobbit flows into LotR (and because LotR is miles better anyway).

mstrox 6,651 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'd recommend watching them in the original, unaltered order that I watched them:FOTR, FOTR, FOTR, FOTR, TTT, FOTR, TTT, TTT, TTT, TTT, FOTR, TTT, ROTK, FOTR, TTT, ROTK, ROTK, ROTK, ROTK, FOTR, TTT, ROTK, FOTR, AUJ, AUJ, FOTR, DOS, DOS, BOFA, BOFA, FOTR, TTT, ROTK.

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I first saw RotK at the midnight premiere during a marathon showing. So I too saw FotR and TTT again before watching RotK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Those were the days.... There were plenty of marathon showings for the final Hobbit movie. I just couldn't be bothered. Also, I wanted to see this film in IMAX 3D HFR first and there weren't any marathons that had that option. And I doubt I could stand nine hours of HFR 3D being blasted at me anyway.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I know, I saw TBOTFA at one of those marathons. Pretty good actually. A lot more fun then I thought it would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'll probably do my own marathon of the theatrical versions when BoFA is released on Blu. I think it'll be an interesting experience seeing them back to back. I expect more added value from watching them in one go than you get with LotR. The LotR films seem to work better as individualike films than I think the Hobbit films do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ren 75 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I don't think watching the hobbit first is a good choice for a noob.
