Summary: Extended Edition is a must
Comment: The extended edition of LOTR is a must. The original movies seemed to lack justification for some of the actions that took place. The extended edition provides it.
Maybe one day there will be a Re-extended Edition. I am sure there is more film that could be put it. LOTR is a complex story with many complex characters. I would love to see it enriched even more. But, until there is a Re-extended Edition, you need the Extended Edition.

Summary: The best got even better
Comment: For anyone who is a fan of the "Ring" books as well as the movies, this is a delight. Some of the additional scenes filled-in parts of the story-line that readers of the books knew were relevant, making the movie more complete. Loved it all!

Summary: A WONDROUS PRESENTATION OF TOLKIEN'S MASTERPIECE
Comment: If you've only seen the theatrical version of these films you've missed a great deal. Usually the 'extended editions' of films are disappointing, or unnecessary. That is not the case here. In fact the additional two plus hours ( for the three films ) makes the story much more cohesive.
For the Penelope Purehearts out there that can't stand the fact that the Elflord Glorfindel was trashed to give Arwen ( Liv Tyler's ) character more screen time, and thus flesh out her's, and Aragorn's ( Viggo Mortensen's ) romance, or the fact that Tom Bombadil, and Goldberry are altogether missing- all I can say is 'boo-hoo!' I've read the book, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, at least twenty times since the 70's ( when 'Frodo Lives' was appearing on the walls of subways, and viaducts all over the country ), and I was actually thrilled that Peter Jackson did not spend an hour on Bilbo's birthday party in order to be true to the only tedious portion of Tolkien's masterwork.
This is the greatest trilogy in the history of film, and the extended edition makes a splendid theatrical version into something approaching perfection.

Summary: more that five stars
Comment: I like this movie and the book. very good presentation, but I have something to say, the first movie, doesn't have subtitles in Spanish, the other two have had subtitles...
