EXTRA SCENES MAKE THIS A DIFFERENT MOVIE TO THE CINEMA VERSION
In my opinion this is quite simply the best story ever told and i'm glad to say I've never even read the books...why would I want to when the films have been so utterly enjoyable.
The characters is the extended versions are (particularly in the fellowship) presented more and little side stories and humour add even more magic.
If you've seen the originals and think that this isn't going to be worth watching, think again. You're talking about an extra 20 minutes to each of the first two films and about an extra 30 minutes to ROTK to make sheer imiginative brilliance.
An easy 5 stars from a realistic reviewer. -

beyond words...
I thought that the original version was sensational, this version just takes it to another level! About 40ish minutes of footage has been blended back into the film which gives the viewer a deeper insight into the plot and the charecters. This enhances what was already a fantastic film. The acting is superb and its one of the rare occasions where the film does the book justice. Their are still bits left out such as the old forest and Tom Bombadil but this version is as close to the book as we are ever going to get. I may seriously have to consider replacing my original versions with the extended versions, utterly stunning.
