    tLotR Special Offer:

    I received an e-mail from Vudu offering me a free Vudu exclusive bonus featurette for tH:tDoS. I purchased the extended edition w/Bonus Features and I guess that got me added to an e-mail distro.

    The e-mail also included a link to get the extended editions of tLotR trilogy for about $8.50 per title.

    I already owned the theatrical versions, so I did not elect that offer, but this morning I looked at the offer again.

    The extended editions are crazy long. tLotR:tRotK is over four hours in extended. Most of the time, an extended edition is like ten or fifteen minutes longer. These three are all between 30-50 minutes of extra footage over the theatrical.

    I didn't realize there was so much of a delta between these two sets and took Vudu up on their offer. I figure @ $8.50 for a 4hr title was a good dollar per minute value.

    I've had all versions of the LotR trilogy and the extended versions are, by far, vastly superior to the theatrical releases. They go very far in helping to explain some of the things in the original trilogy. I got mine via D2D, but, if I hadn't, I would have jumped on this deal.

    With that, the Hobbit trilogy is really long and bloated with the extended versions adding to that bloat. Not to say I'm not getting them, but just saying. 1 book, three movies vs 3 books, three movies. Should have been 1 book, maybe 2 movies and 3 books, 6 movies. IMO.

      That is a common opinion. I am in the same camp and feel it being a trilogy is exploitive somewhat.

      Still with the three books equating to 12hrs of film, the one hobbit book was initially suppose to be two films far below run time of the three original.

      The producers & Peter Jackson speak to it in the bonus content that the middle film was found to have enough shot material to make it stand on its own. The book does not touch much on Rivertown. The set was expansive, so they scripted addition to the location to take advantage of the intricate set they built. Most of what is seen is actual set instead of green-screen CGI. It was a whole town they built on water, after first making an artificial lake.

      When it was explained to me that way, three films seemed to make sense. One film for the journey; one film centered on Rivertown; and one film for the epic battle.

        I have no interest in the extended editions. The films are long enough as they are, no need to add extra material. The extra stuff really doesn't add anything that was necessary in the first place, IMHO.

          12 hrs of Oscar caliber Tolkien for about the same price as 90 minutes of Maleficent. Seems good value by any measure.

            Honestly, the Extended Editions are the definitive editions to me. Especially with The Fellowship of the Ring. I didn't really like the Theatrical Cut and felt like it didn't develop the characters enough. Once the Ext. cut came out, I was fully on board and totally changed my opinion of the films.

            As for the Hobbit, the two films released so far are inferior to the Lord of the Rings films. This second film was my least favorite of the five so far, but the Extended cut has made me like the film more. It is really odd that adding even more to already bloated films makes it flow better, but they absolutely do. I can't recommend the Extended Editions enough, and the Appendices are some of the most complete and enjoyable "making of" documentaries I have ever seen.

              Re: tLotR Special Offer:

              I got that offer since I was a big Hobbit and LotR fan ... which is funny, because I ONLY have Lord of the Rings trilogy in the extended cuts on VUDU already, and I watch them, often, there.

              The Hobbit extended cuts aren't as important as LotR extended, though I also get those versions, watch them seldomly, but watch the theatrical films often.

              As for extended vs. theatrical LotR extended are definitely the best version to watch. I have Blu-ray and DVD for all of it and only ever watch Fellowship of the Ring Extended, The Two Towers Extended, and Return of the King Extended.
