Well worth it

Once I saw the extended versions, I couldn’t do the normal versions anymore

Awesome! I was out of town and missed them in theaters last year.

All in, take my money.

I loved the 2 extended editions plus the early release of Return of the King they did at AMC theaters.
Long but fun day with a full audience of fans.

Yet, no scouring of the Shire. It's the best move adaptation of any series but leaving out the scouring of the Shire is a travesty.
That said, I will 100% be going to see all 3 movies at the movies when they re-release.

Better see them soon before Netflix CGI's a bunch of figs and trannies into them .

4 hours of Middle Earth may exceed my capacity…

Over 4 hours, they will have an intermission. They did this for Hamilton.

Idk if it works on screen honestly.
I'm not sure your average person is smart enough to see the pretty obvious point where these hobbits have grown throughout this incredible journey and are now able to take care of things like that themselves, rather than have all of the heroes they needed at the beginning of it to do it for them. They are the heroes now.
But I think your average moviegoer would just see it as "they went through all of that and then had even more to deal with when they got home?". And ultimately even the extended editions are made up of things they at least thought about putting in the theatrical versions, so if PJ felt it wouldn't work they wouldn't have even filmed it.

I did that with two of my cousins, and it was an awesome day.
Seeing the extended versions on the big screen was excellent, and the new one was awesome too obviously. That was a fun arse day, and I caught a lot of shite from my college buddies for missing an LSU basketball game that day. But frick them because LotR at the theater all day was a fricking blast.

That's just for the third one.
If you did all of them it's just over 12 hours in total:
quote:
The Fellowship of the Ring: Roughly 3 hours 48 minutes (around 228 minutes).
The Two Towers: Approximately 3 hours 55 minutes (around 235 minutes).
The Return of the King: About 4 hours 23 minutes (around 263 minutes).

Have you ever seen the extended editions?

When they released them in the theaters a couple of years ago, I took the wife and kid to see all three.
Not gonna lie, after it was all done, I felt like I ran a marathon.

And still not long enough IMO.

I saw these movies (original versions) back to back to back in a movie theater in Mazatlan, Mexico many years ago. Good times. It cost 3 or 4 dollars to watch all 3.

i want to do this, i never saw these(originals cuts) in theaters. The extended editions are amazing.

That’s awesome but also, I’d love the regular versions as well. My son’s never seen them and he’s not going to want to sit for a 4 hour movie. Let alone three of them.
