The extended DVD version of ROTK is incredible!

I'm amazed at how much of the story's original integrity was returned within the extended version of The Return Of The King. Some of the scenes were no surprise- Saruman and Wormtongue's scene at Orthanc, and the appearance of The Mouth Of Sauron, to name a couple everyone expected. And there were other unexpected moments including Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas's very cool extended scene within the halls of the dead.

Much was included that only one who's read the books would look for. And since I've read the Trilogy at least once a year since first picking it up in 1973, I found a lot to satisfy me. Fifty extra minutes of new footage gave ample opportunity to flesh the final movie out considerably. They did good on this one, and I'm thrilled at the version of the movie I've waited my entire adult life for.
