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. Of the interaction with the mouth of Sauron towards the later half of the film. Another important scene that was left out of the theatrical version of the film involves Gandalf the White facing off against the Which King of Angmar.
That being said, any fan of Lord of the Rings will love all the additional material covered with this edition. The super-sized cut boosts The Two Towers ' theatrical runtime from minutes to minutes. Earlier in the film, when the Uruk-hai are taking the Hobbits to Isengard, Merry seems ill, so Pippin begs their captors give him water. Instead, the Uruk-hai offers some of their booze and laughs the request off. Interestingly, much of Saruman's preparation for the attack on Helm's Deep was left on the cutting room floor, including the decision to burn the forest of Fangorn, encouraging the villagers to attack Rohan, and building a dam the same one the Ents destroy during their destructive assault.
One particular deleted scene present in the extended edition is a flashback that answers questions regarding the motives of Faramir David Fenham , and provides an insight into his relationship with Boromir Sean Bean for the very first time.
Boromir died prior to Faramir's first appearance, so the flashback allows them to feature in the same scene, and it's here we learn that their father, Denethor John Noble , much prefers Boromir over his younger brother. A new Aragorn scene reveals a few personal details that are in the book, but aren't directly addressed in the theatrical version of the trilogy. Aragorn is said to be 87 , and this fact explains how he became such an experienced warrior.
Knowing Aragorn's true age affords the viewer a better understanding of the character. Lastly, King Theoden's son is given a proper funeral in the extended edition; in the theatrical version, the film merely cuts to Theoden mourning Theodred after asking where he was.
With 51 minutes of extra footage, the extended edition for the third and final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy adds on almost an hour's worth of new content. This brings The Return of the King 's total runtime to 4 hours and 11 minutes. The fact that the movie was already 3 hours and 20 minutes long explains why so much had to be cut, even though many edits feel like they belonged in the theatrical version.
Among the changes are longer battle scenes at Helm's Deep and Isengard. The extended edition also gives Eomer Karl Urban one of his best scenes in the entire trilogy. A deleted scene shows Eomer's horror as he discovers his sister Eowyn Miranda Otto lying on the battlefield. The Lord of the Rings fandom always loves to watch more in their movies.
So, extending 11 scenes from the theatrical edition and adding 11 new ones was a good idea. We all appreciate it though! To give you a little idea, some of these scenes included prominent characters like Saruman death scene Sauron Interaction scene , and King of Angmar the great white face-off with Gandalf. The diehard fans of Lord of the Rings are more likely to be fascinated more by its Extended Edition because it certainly offers a lot to watch in a greater runtime.
But still, there are some pros to the Theatrical Edition which makes it better, if not the best! They were naturally cut out making it shorter. However, which one is better can be judged by what each set can do. Each disc has the Theatrical Edition of the movie. There are some drawbacks of the theatrical edition Blu-ray set. First of all, it does not give you the next-level enjoyment that you get with the remastered edition.
However, the design and look are an absolute beauty that represents a bulk of content in one set that offers a good home-theatre experience. Extended Edition Blu-ray set box is so far the best experience for a lifetime. With the Extended Edition, you get a full-cinema view with aesthetic color display, powerful sound system, and relaxing ambiance to watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.
While 13 minutes doesn't sound like a lot, it actually stretches an already thinly-plotted movie beyond breaking point. The sequences in Hobbiton are the best but you're buying this version for the nine hours of engrossing bonus features, not the additions to the film itself.
The Desolation of Smaug. The second film does a much better job of adding value. It also includes the most new material in The Hobbit trilogy, with 25 minutes of extra footage on offer. One of the best additions is Queer Lodgings, which gives us more of the shape-shifting character Beorn.
Even though this takes some extra re-editing on Jackson's part to fully introduce a character who was left out, the addition of the maddened Dwarven king also allows for a flashback to the battle of Moria. The Battle of the Five Armies. If it seems that a lot of those titles include some kind of combat words like "War", "Slayer", "Attack", "Arms", "Battle" and the call to defend the monarch, "To the King!
Hence the R rating, which the damage inflicted by the war chariot itself could be responsible for, even before Legolas' dagger twists in Bolg's head. Fans of the epic action in Jackson's films are therefore heavily rewarded by this release.
Those who are less likely to be cheering as body parts go flying won't find much in the way of extra character development or plot to make this worth their while. At minutes long, you wouldn't think there'd be much Zack Snyder wanted to add to Dawn of Justice but the " Ultimate Edition " lasts over three hours. Alongside that extra 30 minutes of footage, the film also earns an R rating — having been PG13 in cinemas. Having disappointed critics and split the fandom down the middle, the big question was whether the extra storytelling in this extended edition would deliver a superior film.
Thankfully, it did. Still, you can see why this even darker cut and its extra violence wasn't released into cinemas for the general public.
Some oddities in the theatrical version are also cleared up. At one point Superman is blamed for the deaths in the desert and you wonder why people would think the last son of Krypton has started using a machine gun. The answer is that Anatoli Knyazev burns all of the bodies to try and frame him. But the biggest shift is in the way the film deals with both title characters and it's that which makes it worthy of a watch.
Batman seems like less of a monster in this version, while Superman seems a little more heroic. A deleted scene, titled Communion, also shows that Lex had been communicating with Steppenwolf the big bad in Justice League and better explains Luthor's role as a puppet master.
