The extended cuts of An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug and now The Battle of the Five Armies take three bloated, over-stuffed movies and make them even fatter. The opposite has proved true of The Hobbit trilogy, though. You'll find few fans who'd argue otherwise. The extended editions of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films are widely considered superior to their theatrical version predecessors.
