The Extended Editions are far superior to the Theatrical Releases. *NM* patternweaver Send a noteboard - 11/12/2012 03:08:09 PM
I had never seen any of the extended cut movies, so this was new for me, and I had some thoughts I wanted to share. Or opinions rather. Like is it just me, or was the extended cut actually pretty bad?

Not only were the majority of the added scenes completely superfluous, but they also seriously disrupted the movie's pacing, and the set up of some of the best scenes. The council of Elrond scene particularly stands out, and many of the Lothlorien scenes. I hate to say it, but seeing it really made me realize the value of trimming writing. Even if the extended cut was closer to the book.

Did anyone else have the same reaction?
*MySmiley* No! Not the gum drop buttons!

I feel they got the worst of both worlds in The Two Towers though. - 10/12/2012 04:27:04 AM 841 Views

I think the Two towers extended edition is an improvement. - 09/12/2012 06:31:18 PM 656 Views
Was that the one where Gimli lost a drinking contest to Legolas? *NM* - 09/12/2012 06:56:49 PM 475 Views
Yes. - 10/12/2012 02:58:10 PM 635 Views
That's probably fairly accurate to the setting. - 10/12/2012 06:47:03 PM 858 Views
No. That was in RETURN OF THE KING. - 14/12/2012 12:36:08 AM 664 Views
