I used to be able to watch these but goddamn they are a bore. The two towers and return of the king needed a director and an editor and needed to be an hour shorter

I actually prefer the cinema version
most extended scenes just make the movies longer istead of better, there are some exceptions though

I agree with you there. Less can mean more in some cases. I still think they aren't paced or edited that well after fellowship. The two storylines don't help it just becomes montonous going back and forth

The cinema version of Fellowship is so perfectly paced. I guess back then Hackson had people who said no to his dumb ass ideas. After that he went full Lucas. Everytime i finish fellowship i want to see more of it and everytime I cant stomach more than 30 minutes of towers.

Yea

I really liked Mouth of Sauron. Gandalf getting his staff broken was stupid though.

At first I liked the extra scene of the witch king but yea it wasn't great. But it does explain why in the rest of the movie gandalf is only using a sword
>adhd tards still think "pacing" is a legitimate film element

>editing and pacing aren't legitmate
I knew lotrfags were retarded and had no cinematic chops but I didn't know you were babbys too
I love long films jackson is boring tho. Nothong good after fellowship
I prefer extended Fellowship, split 50/50 between extended or cinematic Two Towers and cinematic Return.
Extended Fellowship's extra scenes give more Shire comfyness, flesh out the world a bit more and add more to the characters, especially Boromir.
Extended Towers adds some good scenes but also some largely redundant ones as well - the Mirkwood plotline being the worst example as it's the weakest arc in the film and the most bloated.
Return of the King is already a pretty bloated film but the extended edition turns this up to 10. It's just not worth watching extended Return unless you're doing a marathon or something.

tales from earthsea is better
also lotr of the rings is shit so anything is better but tales from earthsea is really good
