WTF? They changed the consensus?

Now the consensus is : "Peter Jackson's return to Middle-earth is an earnest, visually resplendent trip, but the film's deliberate pace robs the material of some of its majesty."
Before it contained: "With strong performances from Ian McKellen and Martin Freeman"

If you want to see a bloated consensus, look at the one for Children of Men.

I think they just wanted something more concise - the old consensus just seemed bloated with the extra blurb about the performances.

Most reviews both fresh and rotten do seem to praise the performances of Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen, and indeed Andy Serkis. So I think that certainly qualifies as "consensus".

Why is it so hard to understand? They probably realized that they wrote the consensus too early.
