Rotk extended edition length

They each contribute different comments, it sounds like it was carefully edited to have each chiming in at the proper time. Absolutely necessary with so many on the track. This one is all about the details. The fourth commentary option is of course the Cast track. But they break them up into groups nicely, with different members of the cast commenting on different parts of the movie in groups.

The last two discs are the Return of the King Appendices. When I think of an Appendix I think of an extensively boring volume of information tacked on at the end of a book. These Appendices represent parts five and six of a set of Appendices started with the Fellowship of the Ring release, and they are the meat of that labor of love I was talking about earlier.

For each movie, each set of Appendices has had its own distinct tone. Thus it is appropriate that the Return of the King Appendices serve as an extended goodbye, a wrap-up of not just this film but the Trilogy. Get out and buy them! The thing almost had me in tears, eve when I watched it a second time.

Watch it guilt free. With minutes of movie footage and over three hours of appendix material each introduced by a key member of the Lord of the Rings cast and crew , the Return of the King Extended Edition is by far the most expansive and complete DVD set in what is already a watermark for quality DVD releases. Other Home Entertainment purveyors are rushing to come up, and you may have already noticed other films trying to copy what Peter Jackson has done with the Lord of the Rings DVDs.

What the copycats are missing is the sheer amount of passion thrown in to these releases. No one can duplicate that. Home DVDs. Your Daily Blend of Entertainment News. The first release of The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition was released November , and has since been re-released in new media versions such as Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray respectively through the years.

The Lord of the Rings Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition adds 30 extra minutes of film that was not in the theatrical release.

These extra minutes are a combination of reorganized shots, new scenes, and extended scenes that were not in the original theatrical release.

Notably there is also a bluish-green tint that appears on the Blu-ray version of the film as well that did not exist on any other form of the film.

All in all for the extended edition there are around 20 scenes that have been extended and 5 completely new scenes. The Theatrical version of the Two Towers released in August Like the film before it it followed a similar release schedule of the special edition release later in the year. The Theatrical version of Lord of the Rings the Two Towers comes in at 2 hours and 59 minutes minutes. The Two Towers Extended edition is 3 hours and 43 minutes long minutes with 44 of those minutes being added and reworked scenes in the film.

Some of the main additions to this film are around Mary and Pippin and their story after being separated from the Fellowship in the previous film. Overall the pace of the Extended edition of the Two Towers does not slow down in this relatively slow burning movie.

One thing that I wish was in more of this movie was some more scenes during the battle in Helms Deep which unfortunately are not really many scenes added here with an exception with the Glittering Caves scene that takes place in the backside of Helms Deep where the women and children are staying for safety.

The Extended edition for the Two Towers has 17 extended scenes and 15 new scenes. This film broke from the release schedule of the previous 2 films coming out a couple months earlier.

The theatrical version of Lord of the Rings Return of the King is 3 hours 20 minutes long minutes. This version feels like a full movie in which many plot lines that do not seem to close out are naturally assumed. Or taken care of in a different. One example of this is with Saruman in which he is being held captive in the Tower of Isengard as viewers are left to assume that his story ends there. In reality though there is more to this scene that would not have been expected unless the viewer had read the books.

The Extended Edition Lord of the Rings Return of the king is 4 hours and 11 minutes long minutes. This version contains the most extended scenes that together add 51 minutes more of runtime to the film. This version contains some crucial scenes that were not in the theatrical version of the film such as the death of Saruman played by Christopher Lee.

I know what you mean. Only about 4 more months until it comes out. I can't wait! It feels weird to not look forward to another LOTR movie coming out to theaters this year. Ol'gaffer The Dawson. I'm afraid that they're not lying, the current date for the release is in December Over four hours of bilge. Click to expand I'm looking forward to the EE. I just hope that the Houses of Healing will be in it.

The H of H was one of the few things I was looking forward to Me too. I really wanted to see Eowyn and Faramir , and more of Aragorn talking to Eowyn.

I was really disappointed that it wasn't in the movie. I was even hinting to my friends a little about Eowyn and Faramir, so they must have been confused. I cannot wait for the EE!!!! In other words, the movie can only improve. There is going to be: 1 Houses of the Healing in some form or another 2 Finding Eowyn on the battle field 3 More Aragorn and Eowyn scenes nyah, who cares Thorin said:.

Gandalf White Gone Missing. Guess who's back, back, back. Barliman Butterbur said:. Gandalf White said:. Hmm, no mention Denethor and the palantir, confound it all! Last edited: Aug 2, I heard rumours from a very reliable source, the same one who confirmed the first few scenes to be added. That the EE infact features the scene with Denethor and the palantir.

Hopefully this is true, as I wasn't very pleased with denethor either, he wasn't terrible, but he could have been a whole lot better. I never did like Denethor , not even in the books. If the scenes are true, then luckily, it will be closer to the book than the TE was. Even though I have heard a lot of it before, it still sounds so cool! I just can't understand how some of those things were cut out of the TE.

I hope a lot of people watch this EE. As for Denethor , he never was one of my favorite characters from the book. I never thought he could get worse, but the movie definitely made him worse than he actually is.
