I am very happy that we see more of Thrain in this cut of the film. The first bit of added footage is in the opening sequence in Bree, with a flashback to Thorin and Thrain at the Battle of Azanulbizar. As we’ve seen before in Peter Jackson’s Extended Edition cuts, there are some wholly new scenes, plus small snips and added beats to existing scenes. The new 25 minutes hardly felt like 25 minutes to me. ‘The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’ Extended Edition, Clip 1: Bree For those who plan to see the Extended Edition and don’t want all of the new things given away, I’ll try to deliver a somewhat reduced-spoiler review. I did indeed enjoy the added footage, and think that it gives us some important insights as we look forward to the last installment of the story. I will begin by saying that I am unabashed fan of The Hobbit films, and therefore I have a predisposition to like the recently released Extended Edition of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
