I'd pay for a version of Two Towers that would cut it down to two hours (why do we need a confusing fantasy sequence that draws out the movie and is not in the books again?) and add actual blood...Blog | Civ2 Scenario League | leo.petr at gmail.comComment

tolkeins portrayal of faramir was of no consequence to any of the book. he was a stop gap. someone to meet. look if ur a rabid "omg wutever tolkein wrote is gospel" then well....stay away from me.Originally posted by Verto
They waste more time on a journey that, not only didn't happen, but goes totally against Tolkien's character of Faramir?
What a tragedy.
but faramir's increased presence and interesting character progression is good for the movie. whether OR NOT tolkein ever wrote it.Comment

Twin Towers... tsk tskI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

I got the theatrical release version on DVD - good enough for me. The pacing in the theatrical version seemed impeccable. My wife wants the extended version though.- "A picture may be worth a thousand words, but it still ain't a part number." - Ron Reynolds

Yes, I will buy it.
I've heard, that the extended version fixes tTT completely
, so I want to see the extra footage.
And I also liked all the extras in FoTR, so I want to see what new they could think of (like all the neat gollum stuff).I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.Comment

As I expected, my wife ran out and got it yesterday. She and my daughter spent the evening soaking it all in. A year later, and they can still quote the script in real time -- pretty annoying.
Some of the new scenes make actual contributions to continuity and plotting, some are amusing, some just add exposition to certain scenes/characters. It was nice to see the backstory on the horse that picks up the fallen Aragorn and brings him back...
Overall, I thought the extended version helped the 1st movie more than this one does. Still, a richer, more satisfying viewing experience.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

Just got mine yesterday in the mail. I'll probably check it out over the weekend. That's a lot of movie!I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

My wife bought it, saying that I wanted it. We already had the theartrical version. I thought we should wait until all 3 are out, and they would realease a 100 disc set, that would be better... With over 100 hours of never before seen crap!My wife wants the extended version though.

Heh. I have a similar take on what was done to Faramir. But I'd rather have some extra stuff that *might* explain why they did it than not.They waste more time on a journey that, not only didn't happen, but goes totally against Tolkien's character of Faramir?
What a tragedy.
yavoon,
Suffice it to say I disagree re: Faramir. When I read the book, he was one of my favorite characters. When I saw TTT for the first time, I was shocked at the changes. Not just because changes were made, but because I can't for the life of me figure out WHY they were made. I understood the changes/cuts in FotR. I didn't get most of the stuff they did in TTT.
Anyway, Peter Jackson has done a great job overall, but I do think he completely wrecked Faramir, and since I like that character, it irritates me.

My friend just told that this box set was amazing and totally dominating, even comparing to the original theater version and the extras are supposed to be excellent.
I don't know.. I'll wait another year and get the whole thing when they sell it like that. It might have some extra stuff in it anyway when it's the whole trilogy set, so I'm waiting for that one.In da butt.

I suppose the Lord of the Rings trilogy will get the same treatment."Perhaps a new spirit is rising among us.

but faramir was changed because shelod was cut out. and w/o shelod sam and frodo really don't do anything. they walk around, meet gollum, gollum takes em to black gate(oh can't go there!) so they walk around some more.
now atleast for some time they are in a touch more peril. and the peril is not pure evil. but the inner struggle of the weak human. AND unlike boromir faramir wins his.Comment
