I just saw the extended version yesterday and I loved it... I think the film is much more understandable this way... more like the book
is not like there a is a whole new adventure of one hour... its more like a few more images and conversations every now and then... it makes the movie a lot better in my opinion

I have the 4 disc version of the first film, waiting for the 4 disc Two Towers - I mean, there's no point buying the 2 disc at all, is there?

i dont like flipping discs... fucks me off :( but good despite making me get up once in 4 hours... i think the bit with cate blanchet looks weak...too photoshoppy, which is probably what they used but it looks very preset or something...

The normal version was on TV this weekend and I watched it... I didn't really miss any of the extras, aside from the longer intro, the bit in the pub and the gift giving. When I was in the cinema I couldn't wait for the bastard thing to finish but in the comfort of my own shit-pit I could watch the whole trilogy in one go.
As long as I had lager. That goes without saying.

When I watched the extended Fellowship of the Ring the time just flew by. It didn't seem like much longer than a regular 100 min film. Until I got to the extra credits that is... I decided I'd watch them, for some weird reason, and they went on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... and on... *falls asleep*

Gods and Generals was 4+ hours, and there was a 12 minute intermission in the theater.
That was a great film, long, but not truely noticable.

the extended version of LoTR adds just enough detail to really fill out the story nicely. gives it a little more depth.

It's not an entirely bad move to buy the two-disc version because the extras aren't repeated on the four-disc set.

I bought the 2-disc Fellowship of the ring and later regretted not waiting to buy the 4-disc. I bought the extended edition later on, this summer actually. I enjoy the commentaries and the other extras in the set. Plus with the film spread across two discs it allows for higher quality video & audio, since there is more storage space.
I'm waiting to buy the extended version of the Two Towers.

that site is hillarious:
8. Gold: The Stretchy Element.
The ring, which is seen to be at least two inches in diameter at the beginning to fit the polish sausage-sized finger of Sauron, suddenly fits Frodo's child-sized finger later. I guess this movie takes place in a world where rings magically change sizes on their own.
Is that guy serious or is he just an ignorant jackass?

Experts on the occult say in order for a wizard to floorspin a fully-grown man like Gandalf, he'd need three magical staffs, not two.

I watched the extended Two Towers last night. LOADS of extra stuff in this, especially at the beginning. Some good additions, some pointless stuff, overall good job.

Up from 180 mins to 220. There are some nice little things in there, like right at the start with Frodo and Sam, more with Aragorn (like finding out his age), plus a longer flashback sequence with Boromir which reveals more about why the ring corrupted him. You can see the full list of additions on a dvd site... although I don't like to look at 'em before I watch the film.

the extended is good, yes.
like how the emphasis shifts towards Aragorn in this version - how he will be king, how he is a big threat to Sauron.
I really like the flashback scene with Boromir and Faramir and their nasty father, whatshisname, nice setup for RotK.

also REALLY looking forward to seeing the scenes with Andy Serkis playing Smeagol actually finding the ring - they shot it for TTT, but they shifted it to RotK..!
