Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
It really is amazing how much better Lothlorien is in the EE. It almost feels completely glazed over in the Theatrical Cut.
Agreed, but that's how I feel about everything in the Fellowship EE. I mean, I love the EE's for all three films, but I know both TTT and ROTK EEs have pacing issues and the only reason I like them is because it's 'more' LOTR. But FOTR EE is a wholly superior, meaty film that never skips a beat. Side by side with the theatrical cut, the EE renders the original utterly obsolete.
Agreed, it does an amazing job summarizing a lot of back-story. That, and the beginning of Fellowship with Gandalf coming into The Shire and "Concerning Hobbits" playing, man, that just chokes me up every time. Done just so perfectly.
Sooo goood. The mood is perfect.
