It's kind of strange though that TTT was the shortest of the three books, and they took parts of chapter 1 and put it in the previous movie, and the cliffhanger at the end of the book has been moved to the beginning of the third movie insead, and they skipped a number of other things - yet they still got a three-hour movie out of it.

They had that near the end of "Fellowship". Beth thought it was pretty cool.Originally posted by Matthew Phillips:

Funny! You say that you didn't like Two Towers as much because it took too much artistic license and then you praise a film that completely fictionalizes real events!Originally posted by Mark Fletcher:
As an aside, has anyone seen Gangs of New York? That film was absolutely amazing!

6 movies that were separated by 20 years. Do you really think that all the actors in the film would have volunteered to give up their acting careers to what would have been years of filming? For a set of movies that they had no idea if they were going to be any good? What if the first movie in your 6 movie set sucked and made $25 million. Then what?Originally posted by DC Dalton:
Although I admire the directors vision & dedication to these movies I would have prefered to see something along the line of the way Star Wars was handled.....if they can have 6+ movies for that why couldnt this be the same way so everyone can come to love this series (and characters) as much as us "geeks"

Pounding at a thick stone wall won't move it, sometimes, you need to step back to see the way around.

Well you know they did just come out with the Extended Edition DVD a month ago, which adds 30 minutes of addtional footage. Have you seen it? Here is a list of new scenes. It probably doesn't contain all you hope for, but I think you'll be pleased with some of the additions at least.
