Are these worth watching to see the extra bits?
I am going to watch them all back to back. has anyone ever done that before?

still waiting for the 10 hour cut with overhauled cgi

>has anyone watched the extended lotr movies
Only millions of people every year.

Yes, they’re great. In the extended you see how Solomon dies and other shit. I wouldn’t watch any other versions.

I meant all together one after the other!

Not just 1 movie. All 3

Back to back is a little too much, i prefer one a day. But yeah extended is the only way to go if youve already watched the normal cuts

>LotR EE: absolute kino, expands the story in many good and complimentary ways
>Hobbit EE: utter trash, is a slog to get through when they should even have cut more from the theatrical release
What went wrong in between, did they suddenly forget how to make these movies? It was the same writers, directors, crew etc.

who's Solomon?
Did he make the mines?

Lot s of people do that, user. They even have cinema marathons of the movies from time to time.
Are you a fucking teenager?

Fellowship and Two Towers Yes 100%

It's less clear with Rotk, it has some really good additions in the form of more character development for Faramir and other stuff, but also exibits some of Jackson's biggest flaws as a director and has a lot of unnecessary flow breaking scenes.

I keep hoping someone does a fan cut of ROTK that cleans the film up a bit but keeps the good additions.

>I am going to watch them all back to back. has anyone ever done that before?
literally no one has :^)

literally how they should have been in the first place but some normies in the theaters would have gotten bored and/or would have needed to use the bathroom

theaters need to bring back intermissions

I think he means Saladman

Overall true but the first hobbit film extended was good imo

Oh
I didnt think it was something many would have done
10+ hours is a long time to sit still
I don't mind as I have autism and cant leave the house anyway so thought no else maybe had

watch them all at least 3-4 times a month

yes
in the extended of fellowship it shows more things in the minds of mauria

>has anyone ever done that before?
Yeah. Cinematic release of the third Hobbit I watched the first two in their extended cuts, went for the third one to the cinema and then marathoned through all three LotR Extended. No major breaks. Not sure if I could've done it alone though.

>I meant all together one after the other!
>Not just 1 movie. All 3

...whoa.

He propably meant Suleiman

The theatrical versions are ten times better.
Only plot point mental midgets disagree.

The Fellowship of the Ring extended version is really great.
The Two Towers extended has some good fanservice scenes, but really fucks up the pacing of the movie in my opinion
For the Return of the King I can't really say since I didn't get around to watching it yet

I've done that several times since 2003. I usually do in through the weekend, the first two movies on Saturday and the third on on Sunday. And then the following week I usually watch the DVD extras, which are 10/10.

>10+ hours is a long time to sit still
you are like a baby

Have you never binged a show before?

Why don’t you do it user?

Yes the DVD extras are the best. I'd watch them and the Matrix extras all the time.

Yeah I do it on boxing day or the day after, it's a nice come down after lots of full on family stuff over Christmas

Not the Hobbit movies though, they weren't my thing at all

i have 3 days off next week so im gonna watch all 3 extended bluray 1 movie for each day im off to pass the time

There are a few cringy scenes. I personally think that once you're seen the extended editions there's no point rewatching them.

FoTR yes
TTT and RotK not really, extra scenes also fuck some of the best music cues

>the mouth of Sauron

Did Del Toro have something to do with that?

He meant Salah ad-Din, and user's right, in the theatrical cut after the Ents retake Jerusalem he just disappears from the movie.

Fellowship definitely is, Two Towers isn't, Return of the King is.

>Solomon
KANE?
NOBODY CARED WHO I WAS UNTIL I PUT ON THE PURITAN HAT

>There are people who thinks that Fangorn crushing Uruk-hai or that stupid scene about the nervous system are good additions
The theatrical versions are superior.

Return of the King is definitely the most "Jackson", for the better or worse, of all the films regardless of whether you're watching the theaterical or extended cut and I'd say the omissions in the theaterical are the most flargrant of all three and thus extended is necessary to get the best experience.

The EE of FotR makes an already 10/10 movie an 11/10, but I think that it's TTT that's hurt the most by the extended runtime and superfluous scenes. I think the only one that absolutely shouldn't have been cut is the Boromir flashback, which ended up being the best scene in the movie. Otherwise, the additions mostly make the movie drag (and it was already overstuffed with the stupid Warg battle and Osgilliath detour) and hurt the movie in other ways (disrupting the hard cut from Theodén asking about his son to the burial mounds scene by shoving the funeral in the middle of it).

I would say it depends on how much into Tolkien you are. Some scenes are great and add to the story other are meaningless fluff thats worthless unless you just want more lotr.

Yeah, he made the Mines of Maura.

I did an EE marathon last month with my friends.

>Fellowship EE
Worth it, great added material, especially in the early acts.
>Two Towers EE
Can be tedious, since alot of "Treebeard runs around and monologues" scenes were cut from the film, but has some amazing bonus scenes, especially flashbacks of Boromir and Faramir. Worth it.
>ROTK EE
Not worth it at all. Most EE scenes are completely irrelevant and feel more like trash deleted scenes. They add nothing of value imo, instead they just make the film longer than it needs to be.

Yes.
About 30 minutes extra a film.
I watch them all back to back at least 3 times a year.

Lord of the Rings is a snorefest.

The only EE you need is the books.

>but some normies
You're a fucking retard.

They are worth it. I've seen the EE so many times that I don't know anymore which scenes are part of the EE and which aren't

you're an idiot. before satellite and digital, studios had to pay for every foot of film they shipped out to theaters. if jackson was an autist and demanded all four hours be kept in, he would have been laughed out out of the office and they would have cut the movies down anyway.

wait, you don't have intermissions?

Some of the best scenes are EE only so yes

Also some of the most worthless and unneeded ones.

Its Sauronman, idiot

>Fangorn crushing Uruk-hai
That's in the books.

It was also done better there, much better.

The extended edition of Fellowship is a must. It’s the longest extended version of the three with the most taken out of it.

>breaks your staff

Yes, millions of fans watch all three extended editions in one sitting every Christmas holiday season. It's become a tradition for many, and is the single best way to watch them. Some theaters regularly hold these exact same marathons every december, the one I went to had a full house.

You're right, but eowyns funeral lament was great.

How the fuck did they know what nervous system is?

It was explained in the menu

Fellowship? Surely. TTT? Questionably. RotK? absolutely no.

If anyone is interested, the fuckups are
>Sam's speech in TTT and the victory shot in Helm's deep
>Sam rescuing Frodo in ROTK "and that's for my old gaffer!"
>Adding the scene of Aragorn killing Gothmog kills the crescendo of the music after the ghosts arrive. It's like a ruined orgasm.

user, just fucking watch them already.
