Hermie Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 I preordered it from a website and should get a snailmail with it soon, but the mailsystem in Norway sucks, so it can take awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 IMO, pre order SUCKS! That is, unless you can get it for a lot cheaper than the off the shelf price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 My advice: Read the books before you watch the movies, it'll let you know what's happening that isn't in the movies. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Luke Posted November 18, 2003 Share Posted November 18, 2003 I've already got the two regular DVD versions. I'm not gonna bother with the special extended editions until a box set of the three of them is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toms Posted November 18, 2003 Author Share Posted November 18, 2003 well, i gave into temptation and just went ahead and watched Two Towers last night. Im a bit undecided. It was great, but i'm not sure that the extended version was as much of an improvement as it was for FOTR. I liked almost all of the scenes that they added, but i just felt that they maybe added TOO MUCH and disrupted the pace of the movie a bit too much. In FOTR i felt that the extended cut, despite being longer, actually felt slightly FASTER paced. However with this extened cut it definately felt slower. I think it may be because the new scenes in this film seemed to be fewer, but longer (and more distinct), whereas the new scenes in FOTR were often just tiny extentions to existing scenes. Many of the little scenes/extentions were nice, as they were often little snipets from the original books. Seeing more of gandalf's return, saruman&grima, and other things were great. On the other hand I felt some of the longer, stand alone scenes shouldn't have been included, such as the bad soup scene, EVEN MORE arwen flashbacks and especially the whole theodin funeral, whcih seemed very clunkily edited in, and actually diminished the poignency of the grave scene afterwards. Actually, there were a couple of places where the new editing seemed a little clunky, the first view of gollum's hand seemed esecially pointless. However, even with a few minor reservations, it is still an awesome film, im just not sure it is a superior version like the FOTR extended cut was. however, it is worth getting simply for the additional Faromir/Boromir scenes which really help to flesh faramir out as a better character and for the completely redone ent attack AND the forest moving to helms deep, which was always one of my favorite bits in the book. So, the ending is greatly improved, but a few of the new scenes at the start and the middle could have been left out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Luke Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Anyone who watches the films and never reads the book is missing out on A LOT. I prefer the books by far. Yes I strongly agree with you. I started reading the books after I saw FOTR. The books were very detailed which answered lots of questions that i had after seeing FOTR as well as raising many more to think about. An excellent series LOTR.

Iblis Reborn Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 i much prefer the extended its worth the extra time if you ask me (and you did!...even if you didnt you did!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golferbr Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 The extended version is way better then the regular one. I watched Two Towers Extended today and it is the only way I will be able to watch it now on. That is how it is with me and Fellowship anyways.

Sam Fisher Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Yep, I just watched the extended edition, and I think its better. Its also funnier. Like the Aragorn and Eyown(sp?) and the soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
