I've never heard of these fan edited versions of the Hobbit films. I will have to check them out.
(Without having seen the edited versions, the mention of them reminds me somewhat of Oliver Stone's "Alexander". I heard the 2004 theatrical version was rather bad, but I enjoyed the 2013 version very much. With the right editing, certain movies can indeed work).
Like others here, I love the Lord of the Rings but found the Hobbit films rather underwhelming, patchily made, over-stretched (the three movies instead of one or two) and/or overly cartoonish (and have not seen them again). They're very separate projects, in my opinion. Fortunately, the Hobbit did nothing to taint my vision of Jackson's overall fine work with the Lord of the Rings.
