Lord of the Rings Extended Editions Coming to Theaters
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
I don't see why people would want to see this outside of their own homes considering all Extended Lord Of The Rings are on DVD and normal movie can be a pain to sit through at theaters, and here we have this 3 super movie saga.
Yeah, I saw that, but way too expensive for me. Besides, I already have the full set of extended editions. Sure I may only be able to watch them on a big screen, and not the theater, but I'm okay with that.
This isnt going to be like hte extended avatar movie is it? cause that wasnt really worth the price we charged ($15 dollars).
Personally I feel that even the extended doesn't cover the books very well. Seriously they should have just split it up into like 5-6 movies imo.jonyboy13 said:
I already have the extended version in hardcover & paperback.I'd much rather just read the books again than watch the movies
It is amusing to see people asking the simple question, why should I go pay for these movies again when I already own them on DVD (and soon to be blu-ray)? Well such a valid simple question has a simple answer, movies like Lord of the Rings (that is big epic blockbusters, though they are so much more than that as well) are always best viewed in a cinema with a massive screen and pounding surround sound. That is how they were originally made to be viewed. Sure you have to share it with strangers who are munching on their pop corn or slurping their drinks but nothing beats the cinema experience for intensity. You're not just paying to see the movie, you're paying for the cinema experience that you can't get at home (unless you're very very rich and have your own equivalent setup at home). If you don't care for the cinema experience then I think it's your loss (though no monetary loss).
I just wish it had a wider release, there are people all across the world who would gladly pay money to see these films for the hundreth time on the big screen and I'm one of them. Bring it to the UK and everywhere!

OH GOD who will ever have time to watch the EXTENDED editions of LOTR i dont think people could sit down for that long.
I've re-watched the first 2 recently, and noticed some things. Firstly, I don't want an extended edition of the third movie, as the epilogue alone is enough to make the length of that film damned near unbearable. Second, while The Two Towers used to be my favorite, I now favor Fellowship. The battle for Helm's Deep that so defines Towers has simply not held up as well over time as I would have thought. Sure, it's larger scale than any other fight in the trilogy, but it's not as well pulled off in my opinion, and it doesn't carry the same emotional weight, and isn't as fun to watch, as the horseback chase sequence or the cave troll/Balrog section of Fellowship.
And I still want to know how Steven Tyler's genes could possibly produce this:
