Better than the hobbit, for whatever that is worth

You know? I've watched a fan edited version of the Hobbit without all the elf-lover/sidequest scenes. Is way shorter but quite good to watch actually.

Most of The Hobbit's issues stemmed from it's length. I'd love to watch a 3hr Hobbit, rather than an 8 or 9 hr "trilogy"

You can. There are many great fan-edit version. Ravenomics version (2 movies around 4 and half hours ) is one quite good, but there are many others to check out. It is no secret that they added a lot of extras and invented the whole (non-canonical) love story between Elves and Dwarves just to stretch enough content to have trilogy, so in this case cutting those parts out helps to have a pretty good (and faithful) movie.

Thank you. I'll have to check them out!
