That edition is $20 more expensive than just the video... How big is the figure anyway, and is that all that comes with it?

Yeah, I got the extended edition collector's set the day it came out. It's pretty awesome. I haven't calculated it for the TTT edition yet, but I know for the FOTR extended edition there was about 30+ hours of material besides the movie itself. Absolutely wonderful for the true LOTR geek, but probably a little too much for the casual admirer.  *Spoiler(kind of)* I hadn't heard that the scouring was going back in. I know other stuff, but I'm not sure about this, cuz when they returned it showed them riding in in all their armour and it was all green and stuff, and it was supposed to be when they got back. And according to some articles I read and stuff I don't think they ever planned to include it. Film is just too much of a different genre than a book. Film watchers never stand for much of a conflict after the main conflict. It's too 'anticlimatic'. Yell all you want, but PJ was making a film, not just a memorial to a book, and he made the decisions that made the best film he could, even if it meant changing things from the book. *End spoiler* And I think TTT deviated from the books even more than ROTK did, but that's just me.... |

I really like what you said about Jackson making the best movie he possibly could without worrying about paying tribute to the books. I loved the movie. I'll never read the books. I couldn't care any less if the movie was inaccurate to the books. And I hate when people say stuff like "Oh, the books were so much better than the movie," when they know you haven't read the books, just so they can feel superior. IT'S NOT MY FAULT I CAN'T READ IF NOBODY EVER TAUGHT ME!  The movie...is always better than the book. |

And I think TTT deviated from the books even more than ROTK did, but that's just me.... Depends what you mean from "deviate" because there's tons of different factors that are tossed into the work place when you're going from book to film. Yes, there will be added scenes that never happened in the book, and yes, there will be important scenes from the book deleted in the movie. But the point of the MOVIE is for the viewer to enjoy it in context of the book. Important scenes from the book that are incorporated into the movie might kill the movie, which defeats the point of making a film in the first place. Check disk 3 of TTT, I think its chapter 13 or 14 where they talk about book vs film. |
