Welcome everyone to Cinema Spotlight where I talk about a directors filmography from their first to their most recent. Here I am on Peter Jackson’s work the man who adapted J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings into 3 prestigious films. 

The experience going into this is no different than watching the theatrical only you have just a bit more to look at. Different exposition points, new dialogue within the same scene, extended scenes, fleshed out character development that help with later scenes and the list goes on.

Talking to you about this won’t be a rehash of me talking about the plot or vaguely mentioning how the technical craft of the film is astounding. This will be talking points on what I believed were great within this extended edition, what I felt should have made it to the theatrical, what scenes I loved originally and what scenes I loved int he extended. More or less meaning I can gush about the film a bit more and be a complete nerd!

Without further ado lets get into the first segment!
