Bigger, Longer and Uncut

I'm sure I've mentioned that I've got FOTR Extended Edition. I haven't mentioned how much better it is.

Simply by adding a few seconds here and there in the film they've made it eminently clearer. I didn't like the original hobbiton arrival very much, but I'm a big fan of the new one, and similarly the LothLorien sequence is vastly improved also (I can't believe they left out the gift giving sequence from the original cut).

Basically, I'd rather the original FOTR as an 8.5 and the extended edition a 10.

I LOVE the extended version. Love love love. I love the scene with Aragorn singing. He sings so much in the book. It was just a great scene.

What did you think of Two Towers? We simply MUST discuss this!

Yes, We got the extended version and the projector at about the same time. It is SO much better - it'a amazing how the little bits and snatches put in erally improve it. I'm with Andy, the Hobbiton arrival sequence is a LOT better.

4 hours 'til the Two Towers....
