Thoughts: The Return of the King is my favorite of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy so I was very excited to see the extended edition of The Return of the King and it did not disappoint. There were many scenes that should have been included in the original cut. The only problem with The Return of the King was the prolonged ending. There were not any scenes added to the very end but Peter Jackson should have cut some of the end and added a scene like The Mouth of Sauron or just made the movie longer. The extended edition makes The Return of the King a much more complete movie. The extended battle scenes were great and some of the other scenes explain the movie much better than the original cut of the film. The extended edition added about 53 minutes of extra footage, which is more than the other two extended editions. There was an added scene about what happened to Saruman after, which I will have more to say about it below, and some other characters that I have only seen in video games like the Corsairs and The Mouth of Sauron. The Return of the King is the only extended edition that did not have a slower pace, which is not a flaw in movie, compared to the original and I will probably only watch this version in the future. Many of the scenes tied up a few lose ends and it a better movie. Just as in my previous review of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers below are all of the scenes that were added and my comments are highlighted in red below each description of the extra scenes that I think are worth noting.
I thought this was a very important scene that showed us the fate of Saruman. They never said what happened to him in the original cut ir were Gandalf found the Palantir.
This scene was hilarious. Legolas and Gimli are really funny together.
This was just an extendison of the original scene.
Another scene with Faramir that was cut. It also explained were Pippin got the small suit of armor.
Faramir telling Denethor that he would never use the One Ring (in a flashback on which Boromir appears).
More character deveolpment of Faramir.
Before this scene I thought that there were only extended scenes and not scenes that were completely changed but this scene changed what happened in the original.
Aragorn seeing the fleet of Corsairs ships.
This explains how Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli obtained the boat that they traveled with the un-dead army.
In the original cut it never showed how Gandalf lost his staff and it should have been included, but I guess that is what this extended edition is for.
Extended scenes of the Battle of the Pelennor Fields
The Battle of the Pelennor Fields is one of the greatest battles in movie history and the extended edition made it even longer, which was great. Gandalf even had some
This explains how they got Sauron attention.
This is probably my favorite scene that was added to the extended edition. I have seen The Mouth of Sauron in many Lord of the Rings vidoe games and wondered why he was not in the original cut.
The Movie: 10/10- This my favorite Lord of the Rings movie and fourth favorite movie overall after the four best Star Wars movies and the extended edition made it even better,
