Oh my gosh: this cut is SO MUCH better! The focus is on Bilbo and on the quest, it has drive and continuity, most of the bloat and tedium is gone, along with much of the silliness (although I wish the Stone Giant bit had been cut)-

It just goes to show that Peter Jackson cannot be trusted to write his own material.
