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.
**10% nerdier than Mr Snuggly’s Episode II post, if that were possible**

The only bit I found poor was Merry and Pippin taking down Uruk-Hai by chucking small rocks at them. Especially after they had been involved in a brutal ruck moments earlier.
A cracking DVD set that kicks Episode 2's behind well and truly. Lord Of The Rings IS the new trilogy (despite only 1 of the 3 being released : )
~~Belldandy~~
it affects both my intervideo windvd player and media player.
when someone speaks in elvish the translation subtitles come up but do not disapear once the conversation has ended
just wondering if anyone else has had this problem when playing the 1st of the 4 disc set
is anyone else having this problem with playback on a pc?
Well I haven't watched any of the extras yet but I love the film even more now. The Two Towers is gonna rock!
Bean is a god! And I was in Londown when he was Macbeth. I should have gone to see that rather than Glen "Man Beast Not a Woman But a Great Big Hairy MAN" Close in a Streetcar Named Desire. Which sucked by the way.
Christmas!
YAY!
More things like Gandalf speaking the words of the Ring in Rivendell was what I wanted. Excellent.
I'm re-reading it. Again.
Its superb.
> Is it worth buying again seeing as I have the original?
Definitely. It has a cool box.
