Have any of you seen the extended version that just came out on 4 DVDs?


I know it they have gotten allot of flack about two DVD releases, but I think it was the right way to go.


The extended version is really nice.

6 hours on how they made the movie to.


It is really good stuff if you liked the movie.

What one didnt you like?


I thought the extra Gimli stuff rocked.

I think over all it is way better then the original.

Haven't seen it yet, but I understand that they include a scene describing the gifts of Galadriel. I thought this was way too important to leave out of the first movie anyway. Too much in the upcoming story is tied to those gifts.

Yeah they do, and it is a very nice scene.


They spend more time with Galadriel over all.

I always wait until the 'new' version is out to buy the old for that very reason.

Agreed, the extended version rocks! They did a great job overall, though the openning scene ("Concerning Hobbits") was a little stilted.  Good content, just not as seemless addition as the original release.

I get the feeling the movie was released with a "less than 3 hours" mandate.  The additional seens added too much to the movie to have been cut for any other reason (IMO).

The larger version is definately better and recomended for viewing prior to the next theatrical release.

I bough both because I am a mindless consumer drone.
I am also about to purchase the official sword of Gandalf, Glamdring, the sword of Frodo, Sting, and the Shards of Narzil.

I'd also buy the One Ring but its way to expensive.

Heh Animal - got The One from http://www.elbenwald.de - in stainless steel (term? Edelstahl) - I do not fancy gold so much... it's very, very nice indeed! And it looks almost like platin (which is 1500 euro/USD - the steel one is 70USD approx.)! They even have rings with "glowing" inscription - but that was a bit too much for my taste... :)

I did not like the expanded Isildur death scene. I thought adding the bit about him going invisible before being killed in the river was too slow compared to the much more sudden and dramatic original version where he is just shown floating off dead with arrows in his back only moments after the attack.
