I just finished watching the extended version of the Two Towers, and daaayamn, everything about this DVD is simply fantastic. The 40 minutes of extra footage makes an already amazing movie even better, and it almost makes it feel like you’re watching an entirely new movie.
I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the Gollum/Sméagul monologs again, the battles are still great, the effects are stunning, the story is naturally excellent, even the box kicks ass. It simply is hard to make it more epic than this.
I can’t wait to delve into the 2 extra DVDs of bonus materials or see the movie while listening to the commentaries. And I definatly cannot wait till the final chapter hits the theatres.
Jakob, will you be at the opening this year? I know I will :-)
Nah, haven’t got my hands on any tickets for the opening. So far the plan is to see it one of the days after the premiere.
I am going to attend the trilogy marathon on the 16th. It is going to be hard sitting through 12 hours of Tolkien goodness, but it should be worth it.
Dang, you’re nuts. :)
I have said no to doing that. I am afraid I’ll be too tired of orcs and rings and theatres in the end to enjoy Return of the King.
