I watched it the other day.
I loved it but I ahem... never saw it in the cinema so I can't say how much better it is. (Shameful I know but I was kept winding up in countries where I missed it by about a week)
The film itself is fantastic , the interactive map is cool and I loved how they show the original location scout for Helm's Deep and Fangorn etc. Havent had much of a chance to see the rest of the documetnaries becasue frankly 4 hours is enough time to be sitting in front of the Idiot box.
More Generally how in the name of God did they find Faramir ? He looks so like Sean Bean that it is scary, especially when he is in his riders hood. I kept expecting Frodo and Sam to go "whooooa Dude , we thought you were dead "
And Orlando Bloom , my girl loves him to pieces and thinks he is the sexiest thing alive so this is the only place I'll get to say this , btu he's a disappointment. Lines that Viggo can make pathos filled or stirring or whatever just sound wooden coming from him. Real shame becasue Leogolas was one of my favourites from the books. (And that shield surfing scene ? Pur...leease...that was a bit naff).
So apart from Faramir finding Boromir what extra did I get ?
One other thing. There is more than enough room on a single DVD for the full movie. Why in the name of GOD did they span it accross two disks ? Getting out of the LazyBoy to walk all the way over to the player to switch disks is just too much of a spell breaker.
