The best film of the last few years has been enhanced considerably by the additional material, this sumptuous DVD boxset I got the other day provides. The 30 minutes of extra footage is implemented perfectly and adds more characterisation, more violence, more Hobbits and more of Middle Earth.
The prologue is now subtly different and incorporates Bilbo’s endearing description about Hobbits as he is writing in his book. There is also more of the Shire and the “travelling to” scenes are now fleshed out. Best of all though, there’s more fighting. The Cave Troll scene is extended, as are the final battle(s) between the Uruk-Hai and the Fellowship. The fighting has serious edge and is more ruthless than the theatrical cuts'.
I particularly enjoyed it when Gandalf utters words of power from Mordor at the meeting in Rivendale, which has some chilling effects. That shuts Boromir up.
Three and a half hours is a long time to spend watching a film mind…
But it’s worth it.

I'm getting for Xmas, off my sister-in-law. Not because I want though, because she is buying me and the Ogre a joint pressie, and thats what he wants. Mind at least I'll be getting a pressie. His family didn't bother to get me anything for my birthday. I shouldn't be suprised though. They didn't bother to anything for his birthday either.
I wasn't going to bother buying it, but seeing it for £19? Seemd a bit stupid not to really.
