- Ok, the first thing I want to say is that it has been several months since I last saw the Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition on DVD, so my recollections are not crystal clear. That said, there were several parts of the movie in theatres that I have no recollection of ever seeing before, so I think they may have added stuff when they prepped the extended edition for theatres. Also, a warning to those who are going to the marathon: use your intermissions wisely, because at the three hour mark I was ready to go to sleep, and without proper preparation I can definitely see a good number of people wasting their purchase and falling asleep halfway through Return of the King. Unfortunately if you cannot go see the Fellowship Extended in theatre today, the only option left is the marathon. |
