Just re-watched the Lord Of The Rings, extended versions.
The 3 films benefit by the addition of various "down time" scenes. Makes the experience a bit more immersive and less frantic. Wish we had the Old Forest and Tom Bombadil. But at 12 hours of material, I can see the need to excise certain parts for theater viewing. Also wanted the scouring of the Shire. Without it the ending was too sweet rather than bittersweet as Tolkien intended.
