Review for Extended Version

Rating: 10/10 (1 November 2013)

I watched the preview extended version of this and must say it is far better than the cinema cut.
It fills in the gaps and character development is far better. You get a real feel of what Tolkien was thinking in his character development.
There are elements that have more action sequences and go more into what happened to the dwarfs. Also there are longer conversations at Rivendell.
In addition to this there are some really funny scenes. Watch out for the Dwarfs depleting the Elf kitchens of wine, as well as deciding to take a naked bath in the Elf water fountain. The hilarious sight of naked Dwarf but is worth paying the fee for the Blu-ray.
The extended version is a must buy for Blu-ray. It's on my list to buy.
