sounds cool, but spending 4 hours in the theater is not much fun.
shareNo thanks. I did the extended versions recently and found the experience overlong and arbitrary.
shareWell you have to break it up of course.
No way would I do it in one sitting.
That being said, after seeing the extended versions that’s all I want now.
I watched them while running on the treadmill. The added stuff didn't add much. It's more for uber fans than your casual audience.
I'm glad I saw them, but I won't watch the original or extended versions again.
Yea, I understand, but I’m one of the uber fans I guess.
shareI think that's fair. I really enjoyed watching them in theaters in the early 2000's. But, since they were released, I couldn't enjoy them. So, this year I put myself through all three, extended editions, while doing my miles on the treadmill. It didn't change much. I did the same with the hobbit series. That was far worse. Too many unnecessary references to the Lord of the rings.
I always watch them at Christmas so it doesn't quite have the same appeal in the summer.
shareFor reals. But the best viewing I had of Two Towers is when I walked into the theater after finishing some other movie, and it was one of the smaller theaters by that point, and they never dimmed the house lights, and it was like hanging out in your living room with a huge tv and there was only two other blokes in there, who clearly didn't buy tickets either, and we all just sat there watching Two Towers and looking at each other and not talking lol.
share🤣 The whole trilogy was such a big deal at Christmas those years and I was in college at the time so it was part of my winter breaks seeing each movie. It's a tradition I've continued every year ever since.
shareI would 100% buy a triple ticket to watch all three back to back with maybe a half hour to hour in between each. With a few friends and a bunch of weed, and maybe a few other things, spending a day doing that sounds like just about the most fun movie theater experience imaginable.
