It was there, he did it a few times, just not as many as I would have expected.

I like dwarves and I loved TTT. I don't know which I liked better- but I think they should have stayed closer to the book in some parts- can't wait until next Boxing Day now!!!

Well, I really can't tell which is better! IMO, it is ONE HUGE MOVIE, so there is no better or worse part...

I absolutely loved FOTR, but for some reason I wasn't really impressed by TTT. I've been trying to figure out why, but mostly anything I name was done in FOTR too.

Eh, perhaps it's the extra +++ dreamy love scenes between Aragorn and Arwen. What's all that about? I guess the movie didn't start with a bang either, unlike FOTR which started with the historical great battle of united middle earth against Sauron.

For some reason I thought Gollum was pretty cute... and not that scary at all. Oh well. Let's see what Return of the King will be like.

I finally gave in. I was planning on watching each only once when they arrived at the theatre and then buy the dvd collection trilogy in the end because I am sure there will be one. Today I purchased and watched the FOTR extended DVD. I forgot how good the first one was.

Sad part? This DVD is supposed to contain 30 or so minutes of extra footage and I could not even pick out one additional scene.

As for Gollum being scary: I don't think so. He had his moments, but overall I found him down right funny. Poor little confused fella. Be interesting to see how they wrap this up.

Yeah you've made a good choice I also did that and those extended scenes where good at explaining the movie.

well for one when frodo and sam come back to bagend after being at the pub as they reach the gate, the shot ends earilier, it was only about a second maybe less. there are a couple of others as well, only sad people like me would notice.

i think it is because rather than just inserting the new bits to the old movie, they re-edited the whole thing, which is going to result in the original scenes being slightly different, like i said only sad fellas like me would notice.

I noticed the bits left out too. Now when I watch I have to decide whether I want to watch the movie version or the extended version, or both, then it what order. They are different, and I agree, they should have put the extra bits in the original and not taken little bits out instead of annoying people. I was devastated the first time i watched the extended edition and realised when I watched LOTR I'd want to watch both straight after the other the get all the movie. If you think you're sad what does that make me?

about as sad as me, i mean i hadn't got the august release, so i hadn't seen the film for nearly a year, and yet i noticed that half a second was cut from the film (although i checked my sister's normal version to make sure - which is sad in itself) so sadness abounds really.

but i do still go out, get druck, shag birds, go to football and shout at the ref etc etc, so i am trying to balance the sadness out.
