Would I have liked if there was room for the scene where Galadriel gave the scholarship gifts in Philippa Boyens, Peter Jackson, and Fran Walsh’s adaptation? Sure, she’s one of my favorite characters. Act 1 is perhaps the best example of seamless filmmaking portrayal ever produced, as the production spans 6,000 years of history, building a world in the textbook, and introducing a dozen instantly compelling main characters. There is no wasted shot in the theatrical version of The community of the ring. Theatrical LotR is all killer, much less filler Finished with the movie? There are dozen of hours of cast and crew interviews about the techniques the film was made with and the friendships that were made on the set – enough behind-the-scenes adventure for their own trilogy.īut when I sit down to watch Lord of the RingsI want to see how it looked in the theater. They have “deleted scenes” fully built into the movies themselves (so large that you have to swap half the discs, like a VHS copy of Titanic or a video game from the 1990s), complete with fully covered special effects and a Restung Score. The Extended Editions of the Lord of the Rings films are rightly legendary in the canon of home video releases.
This is Polygon’s Year of the Ring.īut if there’s one controversial opinion that’s most likely to cause a shocked gasp and immediate accusation of not being a real fan at all, it’s this: I prefer the theatrical versions of Lord of the Rings to the Extended Editions in the deluxe box set.
So we’re going to go back and forth every Wednesday throughout the year and examine how and why the films endure as modern classics. 2021 marks The Lord of the Rings 20th anniversary, and we can’t imagine exploring the trilogy in just one story.
