Great stuff though, but I'm probably never going to watch LOTR again.
I got the One Ring laynard with the show times on the back as well as the Bilbo Hobbit key chain at the trilogy last night. That's probably because I saw it at AMC.
I'm actually surprised I lasted all three films. By mid Two Towers, I was completely butt hurt. I had to run around for about an hour during the break, I felt like crap. I was surprised by the turn out, it was completely packed at my showings, kids and adults, and they all stayed. Return of the King . . . damn. It's great but, what a bloated film. It's full of fat that needed to be trimmed (even the non Extended Edition). I was getting really anxious with the last 40 minutes, "c'mon, stop ****ing around and end it".

Oh and Fellowship of the Ring is clearly the best in my eyes. Best pacing, they're all together, Moria, Amon Hen, Boromir, Gandalf the Grey, the Shire, it can't be beat.
Yeah, I can only watch all 3 EE once every 1.5 to 2 years.
I pretty much do this every year at home so this wasn't a big deal. The hour between each movie gave me a nice break to walk around.
What a bunch of pansies.
FOTR is amazing but equally so is ROTK IMO. I don't feel it's bloated at all. The added depth of the EE material just sets this film off to be as awesome as it is.
Still, I get where they're coming from. At times, I was more focused on how long it would be until I can go to the bathroom again, than the movie.
Suffice it to say, my Soda went largely untouched. Did you see it in IMAX or was it only in regular theaters? My Cinemark had it on the big XD screen, which was really cool to experience, as I was a little late to the LotR game, so I'd never seen them on the big screen before.I actually fell asleep the first(and only time) I watched Return of the King previously.

Yeah when I watch ROTK now I just skip through all the Frodo and Sam parts to the action scenes, they just went overboard with the hurl inducing bromance once they get into mordor
