No, the extended cut of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey isn't as satisfying as the theatrical cut. Several scenes and shots directly address some of the film's problems, but most of the additions are inessential and actually exacerbate a number of issues, pacing and embellishment among them; making for an enjoyable but ultimately curious alternate take on the first entry in Jackson's trilogy. Even so, the Extended Edition set is a must-own release. Regardless of how you react to the new cut, its video presentation is outstanding, its DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround track is terrific, and its supplemental package is so exhaustive it's almost exhausting to dig through. Jackson and Boyens offer up an excellent commentary, and nine hours of Appendices material explores every last aspect of the production. Frankly, the Appendices discs are worth the cost of admission alone. Now it's simply a matter of patiently waiting for The Desolation of Smaug to descend on theaters this December.
