It comes out tomorrow, Wayne. Maybe I'm not the right person to ask, being an avid fan of the trilogy - I love it of course. The only problem the movie have is, that it in spite of over 3 hours (I've seen 193 minutes for the DVD) of playing time is a bit rushed here and there. That, and it takes a while to wrap up the ending - inevitable when you think of the novel. The story is still a good one, and there are lots of great special effects and a very good sound - goes without saying. I'm buying it tomorrow, and will then be looking forward to the EE version, which should come out in the middle/by the end of November.

'EE' is for 'Extended Edition'. It's the special long versions of the movies Peter Jackson (the director) have send out on DVD. Apart from quite a bit of extra footage (30-40 minutes extra on the two first EE's) there's also an improved surround sound (DTS 6.1) and 4 different tracks of commentaries (from director(s), actors and other involved) one can play with the the normal moviesound off. In the case of the two first movies, this have made it necessary to have the movies on two DVD's, instead of the theatrical versions one. Plus, there's two DVD's with extra material in the EE-editions, too. It all adds up to about 25 hours of material to look at from the 4 DVD Extended Editions. The EE-version of "Return..." is believed to have about an hour extra on the movie itself (Probably making it necessary to have this on 3 DVD's). In many ways, these versions are for the enthusiasts - though many maintain that the more calm pace of the EE versions in many ways makes both the story and the characters work better. But the price is that they ARE very long. As far as I can estimate, when the last of the EE-editions comes out, the 3 EE's put together will last for more than 11 hours - one will be able to spend a whole day watching Lord of the Rings :-)

I got a copy of Lord of the Rings - Return of the King on DVD last night but I was too tired to watch it. Maybe this weekend. But check this out: I got a new copy of the Return of the King DVD at Blockbuster for just $12.00! Here's the deal: They sell selected new DVD movies for $12.00 if you bring in an old DVD to trade. Any DVD will do. They change their selections every week, but this week Return of the King is on the list. They tell me the list always includes new releases. Next week it will be different ones. Guess which movie I traded. No fair clicking on it and peeking before you guess first.
