[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 456787, member: 1457"] Wow. Last night I went to an advance theatrical screening of the extended edition of Fellowship of the Rings. This is the special edition with 30 minutes of additional footage, the edition coming out on [URL=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000067DNF/]DVD[/URL] on November 12. Wow. It was [b][i][U]AWESOME[/U][/i][/b]. I was amazed at how the extra footage improved on perfection. The extra footage was a minute here, thirty seconds there, to a significant extension of Lothlorien and the Shire. .. er.. [VAGUE SPOILER WARNING] The extra footage developed the relationships between Gimli & Legolas, Aragorn & Boromir, Frodo & Sam, and Arwen & Aragorn. That last bit really changed the way I felt about Arwen/Liv Tyler. She rocks. The character is so much better now, and I'm glad Jackson chose her instead of Glorfindel as the bearer of the wounded Frodo. Also, significantly, the additional footage showed some MAJOR plot points that were missing from the first cut (I won't go into details). But best of all was the extra characterization; the characters of the Fellowship were developed and they became people; Legolas and Gimli instead of just Iconic Blustery Dwarf and Iconic Graceful Elf, Haldir instead of Suspicious Lothlorien Guard, Boromir instead of Doomed Patriotic Man, Aragorn instead of Gloomy Ranger. The 30 minutes developed not only characters, but also places and history: Lothlorien and Gondor are much more developed. The special edition is SO MUCH BETTER. But, remarkably, the special edition also showed just how good the first cut is. Meaning, even without the 30 minutes, the first cut ably conveyed the majesty and vital plot points of Tolkien's book, and even included a LOT of character development for Gandalf, Frodo, and Sam and background info on the Shire, Imladris, Isengard, Mordor, Moria and Middle Earth. And a bit on Lothlorien and Gondor. Wow. Just had to get that out and spread the word. If you liked Fellowship of the Rings, you'll *love* this special edition. -z [/QUOTE]
