Title: The Ring Sets Out
Review: I take it if you're a fan, you've already seen the theatrical edition of Lord of the Rings. This 'edition' is for those who wants 'more of the Rings'. Before I get started, Peter Jackson himself said that BOTH versions are the real thing. Purists most likely insist the theatrical version is 'proper'. I disagree. Peter Jackson adapted a book. The Extended Edition follows more closely to the book, which is exactly what an adaptation is. It's great for people who want to delve deeper into Middle-earth and for people who haven't read the book. Not only do you get more special features, but you get an extra 38 minutes of footage seamlessley re-inserted back into the movie. The movie itself is on 2 DVDs. What more can a 'Ringer' ask for? The first disc ends when Pippin says 'Great! Where are we going?'
Is the review positive or negative?
