I watched the extended dvd of Return Of The King last night.Some people might wonder why I collected the extended versions when I already have all of the standard ones, and it's kind of tricky to explain it. Like, collect all of the extended ones, or all of the standard ones... but why both?
Probably the best example of why it's worth it is this one scene in the extended ROTK.
I won't spoil it by giving specific details, but there's this scene that appears in the extended cut... You already know what happens from the standard cut, and then it throws this 'event' at you... totally out of the blue and unexpected. It creates an emotional response that you just wouldn't get if you hadn't seen the standard version already.
I was just like.... "Oh fuck!"
Absolutely brilliant.
Even if the films themselves weren't extended at all, it'd be worth getting these special editions, just for the doccumentary disks. They put the standard doccumentaries to shame... utterly.
