Why oh Why Wasn't the EE the Theatrical Release???

Rating: 10/10 (7 December 2003)

I saw the EE version of FOTR on the big screen and it was so much better than the theatrical release. The flow of the film was smoother and the additional scenes would certainly have been helpful to those unfamiliar with the book and a delight to those of us who missed such scenes as the presentation of Galadriel's gifts to the fellowship. Not to say that the theatrical release wasn't fantastic; I saw it 30+ times. I am just so glad that PJ and New Line decided to release the EE's on the big screen to prep us for ROTK. I am looking forward to seeing the EE of TTT next week. I hope at some point PJ and New Line will screen the EE of ROTK after they make their bundle on the theatrical release and DVDs.
