Watch yourself a fanedit then. I recommend the M4 book edit. All of the additional stuff removed. Sticks as close to the book as possible and comes in at about 4 hours.
Yes the fan edits are great and this one is my favorite as well. As far as I'm concerned this is the definitive version and is now a part of my rewatch marathons. It's not just a re-edit, they fix the color grading and add film grain to match LOTR's look and some clever effects to actually change some frames. Really well done.
