the scene of saruman is meant to convey the power of his voice to drive men to dismay. they have defeated him and yet he still chills their hearts. and most of the dialogue is lifted straight from the novel (tell me that doesn’t matter. i will fight like the uruk-hai and die on this hill)

nah it's lord of the rings. how can you be down for 9 hours but 11 is a problem. why are you rushing

Theatrical are better movies. Extended are for diehard fans.

Enjoyable review, you played the Wallace and Gromit Telltale game?

Loved the review! 😁 R.I.P Peter Sallis 🙏

Yall never wanna listen to marge simpson toad...

I think for first time viewers, the theatrical cut is better. since its better paced and all. Then if they love it afterwards, then watch the extended cuts

I felt so happy watching this. It reminded me about the good times I had when I was gaming during my childhood and what made me happy. I hope one day I can bring those feelings back. Thank you, George, for making a great movie!

Both, but extended is so great!!

I definitely prefer the theatrical

cinematic versions are just better films full stop. Pacing is perfect and most of the extended scenes offer nothing and just halt the story.

I like Wallace & Gromit in Project Zoo

I feel like there could be a “definitive” middle ground edit. Theatrical is mostly superior viewing experience imo, but there a few glaring omissions (“concerning hobbits”, Saruman’s death, Theodred’s funeral, Boromir/Faramir/Denothor flashback, Gandalf v Witchking, maybe Mouth of Sauron). Maybe 15-20 extra per movie.

Depends. Plenty of new scenes I love, others I feel were better left out (but don't ruin the movies). I think Fellowship is better with Extended. Towers is about equal. Some great new scenes, others could have been left out. King, honestly, put Christopher Lee back in the theatrical version and it's perfect.😂😂😂

I have a question what about people who absolutely don’t know this world And they want to enter this world and learn about it from scratch, that it is worth watching first director's versions or regular ones

I watched both versions. Here's my opinion on both of them. (I have watched extended at least 2 times and theatrical once) When I want the full version of the story, I go for extended, and when I don't have as much time or am not in the mood for the full experience but still for some Middle-Earth, I go to theatrical.

Ngl I have the exact opinion as you. Fellowship is enhanced by being extended while the other two are definitely hindered by it in my opinion

u have a really goofy voice

Amazing review ahaha !

Great review bro!

I feel validated. I enjoy the RotK extended much more than you, but I share your sentiment that the extendeds for TT and RotK complicate the discussion a lot. Neither are as good as the extended for Fellowship. But rewatching Fellowship is almost impossible for me to do in theatrical now because of that ludicrous pacing in the Shire - that exact conversation you showed of Frodo and Gandalf was so egregious to me the last time I tried watching the theatrical cut, and there are more instances like that too. So, is the solution to just always watch the extended Fellowship, and the theatricals of the others? That feels so weird.

Hey Mate, hope you're well. You swiped me right on Bumble Bizz. I was reading your profile and saw you graduated in film in 2021 and that you're looking for a screenwriter for film making collaboration. Which is exactly what I set up my Bizz for; to either connect with other writers and/or film makers. Luckily I managed to glimpse your RUclips channel name before the app took my swipe right and sent it left! 😕 Not that you can go back and see my profile of course, so hopefully you can connect with me here as I can't go back either...

extended is ugly af

For God sake! I came for comparison, but this talking, dude

Extended is the real canon version, other is fake

Disagree. With LotR the more content the better.

The color timing is horrible on the extended editions. Also, the theatrical has much better pacing. It flows.

Nice job keep it up 😁👍

4:17 You can actually see a wire that is connected to his stick which Gandalf (I think) is kicking with his feet. It's for powering the light bubble on his stick lol.

Red Guy has to come back.

Just a suggestion, until youre able to get a new camera you shouldnt show up in your videos, makes them look low res. The rest of the vid was enjoyable, keep up the good work

My recommended way to watch the trilogy: The Fellowship of the ring (Theatrical) The Two Towers (Theatrical) The Return of the King (Extended)

I feel like people need to form their own opinions. I’ve seen the Extended twice now and the theatrical once years ago. I enjoy the extended but need to revisit the other one again

If you are watching it for the first time, I definitely will suggest to go for the theatrical release, Extended release are for fans like us who have already watched it and want more. Theatrical release are better movies

I’ve watched the theatrical and extended versions 10x over at least but the extended version is far better! it provides much more detail to the storyline and includes some vital scenes not captured in the original

One thing I love about the extended fellowship of the ring is the extra earlier scenes with Sam. In the theatrical version, he doesn't come in until literally right before the adventure starts where Gandalf catches him eavesdropping out the window. And we don't really get to know him before the journey even though he's an extremely important character and Frodo's best friend who becomes the main ally, and without him middle earth would have fallen. In the extended cut however, he has much more earlier screen time. He's at the birthday party scene and the green dragon scene and we actually get to see him bonding with Frodo in the shire before they share their adventure together. On top of that they give him more development as they show his subplot with Rosie who doesn't appear until the end of return of the king where she was shown as just some random girl Sam quickly marries. How could they cut those scenes?

That’s a bit complicated. I think the Theatrical Versions are great for beginners, but for the seasoned LOTR Cinematic Universe Veteran, the Extended Editions are just too awesome to pass up!!!!!!! Once you watch the Extended Editions, you never go back to the Theatrical Versions again!!

I bought the UHD 4k Bluray set that comes with both versions of all 3 films and I just finished the extended of the Fellowship and the time went by so fast that i was very engrossed in it. It adds so much more to an already fantastic movie. Looking forward to the next 2 extended movies, and so far in general i would say extended versions of movies are a lot better as too much is cut out.

honestly i like return extended alot. ive seen it in the theater twice and it shockingly flows really well with good pacing. it really doesnt feel like 4 hours and this is coming from someone who's seen killers of the flower moon and gone with the wind (3 times) in the theater and felt those films could drag a bit

The appreciation and experience is different in the Extended version

You really have to pick your poison. The extended editions, especially in fellowship and for the Saruman scene at the beginning should have been in the original cut, while at the same time Two Towers and return of the king just linger a bit too long with most of their inclusions not being memorable and even detrimental to the story, especially how in the extended edition of ROTK it completely ruins the suspense of the battle at minis Tirith. Also 4 hours for a movie is just unacceptable in my opinion for how much of a downgrade the deleted scenes are compared to the other two films. Great video, I couldn’t agree more.

The more lord of the rings, the better

What was the show/game at the beginning of the video?

Who cares bah blah bla blah

Fellowship theatrical is REALLY well considered and pretty much perfect in my opinion.....with the other two films the special editions are better/improved, which isn't surprising when you consider how they were made (they made a gamble and prioritised getting the first film right while not having enough to finish the next two....and then went back and re-shot a LOT for the next two after the success of the first).

Instead of wasting your time making pointless videos, you should read the books. Better investment imo.

Just finished the theatrical version of fellowship of the ring. First time I’ve ever seen these films. I kinda wish I saw the extended version because I would love to get to know these characters more. The theatrical version just felt like a 3 hour nonstop adventure lol. But I know there so much more to this world. I think imma just watch the extended version for the next 2 films

Absolutely awesome video to mark your 10 year anniversary. Thanks for doing my childhood games justice, and also for the interesting ones you've brought to my attention - may very well check them out. Its evident in the quality of the video the work you must've put in to make this. Epic ! 🔥

If you saw the extended first, and you love the movie, the theatrical cut could only be seen as a reduction or lesser version. If like me you saw the theatrical version, and you thought it was amazing, anymore added to it is going to feel like bloat.
