Elijah Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Have you guys seen it yet? I thought they did an AWSOME job on it. The new scenes added a hole new feel to the movie. They spiced the end battle up a bit (Swank)... I'm now totally pumped on seein' TTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mima kake Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 yeah I've seen de Extended edition. And its pretty cool. It makes some scenes much clearer now. And it's not like most directorscuts or special editions that only a few scenes are changed. But with LOTR it is changed the whole film (for the better in my opinion.) Just a few weeks to got for TTT;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mex Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I'm going to get it soon It better be good........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ET Warrior Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 "Lembas, one bite will fill a grown mans stomach" "how many did you eat?" "....four...." Anyone who's seen the Special edition should appreciate that quote I thought it was magnificent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Count Dooku 2 Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 The only reason "Lord of the Rings - the Fellowship of the Ring" got a Special Edition DVD makeover was because the film sucked so much it needed four discs to sell copies. I'm sorry if there are "Lord of the Rings" fans reading this, but the film was utter bollocks from beginning to (a rather distand) end. I hope the latest installment never passes before my eyes, otherwise I might just rip them out in frustration... Or maybe to save me the agonising three hours of dull boredom that usually follow the intro sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hekx Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I saw it a few days ago, the only part I didn't like was having to change disks half-way through I think LOTR shouldn't have been cut-down, the SE filled in a lot more information for me (I haven't read the books ) I liked the special edition a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightspeed Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I want to get it but I probably wo'nt because i've got the normal edition (Got it when it first cameout) but I might rent it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediNyt Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 My dad bought it. Its got great special features and new scenes but ya it gets too long after a while. I hate having to change discs. They should have both the original and extended versions in the set. And did anyone else have the unfortunate discovery of the spoof scene at the end of the first disc? The one with Jenifer Love Hewitt and that other dude(dont know his name)? Sort of funny but disturbing. Could have been a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taos Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 I think it is pretty good myself! I just haven't had a chance to watch all of it.......there is so much to see! I'm glad I picked it up! A little bonus that I thought was cool was the free ticket to see TTT!!! I can't wait to use that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
<|DLS|>Darth Fett Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 welll, i think im gonna at least watch it at my budies house, yay.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Well, I couldn't wait to get the movie, so I bought the two disc set back in August... ...now I have no money left, and buying the film again, though it has lots of new features, is kind of pointless. Still, I'm waiting mainly for TTT. Want to see how Golumn and Treebeard turnout;)lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And its not like im gonna go out and buy another copy, so im screwed... anyway i havent seen it yet but i bet it kicks ass! :lips: Yeah I found that to be quite stupid aswell, I had caught wind of the SE dvd just before the original came to video so I was lucky. The fact i work in a video store and opened one of the newly aquired films which came with a coupon for the SE movie made me feel like whoever bought that version was utterly cheated. So rightfully so I snagged that coupon for myself and got a discount on the movie As far as the SE goes it is a must for a true fan of the book, Crucial things as small as they were to the typical viewer make all the difference to someone who has read the book. The first time I saw the movie I was shocked that some of that stuff had been left out and was overjoyed when I heard it would be available after. The other benefit that I appreciated the most was the revamped sound. 6.1 DTS surround sound is superb, Even if I had bought the original version, after seeing the SE I would have no complaints in buying the SE, it's worth owning.

BCanr2d2 Posted November 25, 2002 Share Posted November 25, 2002 The Extended Edition sets up the other movies a lot better, or at least will make a few things in TTT and ROTK make a little more sense. I listened to it with the DTS ES soundtrack, and it rocked. With the less compression on DTS ES (The reason for the two discs for the movie) the sound had a lot more detail to it.

LONGBOW19 Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 at hollywood videos i saw the lord of the rings the extended version that cost around 175.99. to expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmjedi Posted December 6, 2002 Share Posted December 6, 2002 Do you live in Beverly Hills? It should only cost $29.99 for the 4 disc set itself. There is also a another thing where you can buy it and it has a making of by National Geographic and it comes with these little statuets and it comes with the 4 disc set too.
