Christian Walker
Extended edition, all 3, in one sitting.
Enjoy your 9.5 hour marathon user
Jordan Ross
No bathroom breaks allowed either OP. Bring a catheter.
Tyler Bell
Director's Extended Cut Edition with film crew & actor commentary. Run time is only 36 hour. No breaks allowed.
Justin Adams
Original release cuts. Lots of the extended edition is fluff that's actually kind of awkward and murders the pacing.
Ayden Lewis
first time watching: theatrical cuts, it's what the entire world saw at the kinoplex, the pacing is much better, especially rotk
second time and beyond: extended cuts, they include a ton of great material and you already know the story so the pacing isn't an issue
still looking forward to the 25th anniversary editions jackson used to talk about where he includes a bunch of stuff filmed but left out of the extended, like what gimli and legolas do after we last see them, etc
Cameron Hill
Theatrical. Shit got cut for a reason, even the theatricals feel too long in some cases (see: RotK).
Brandon Price
>what gimli and legolas do after we last see them
lewd
Parker Jenkins
>literally miss all the kino Boromir flashbacks
Get out zoomie.
Cooper Brown
Extended.
NEVER watch theatrical.

You're a clinically retarded TikTok user, I can tell
Leo Barnes
Remastered Bluray Trilogy. Looks absolutely stunning now that it's properly color graded and all shitty filters removed. Especially the fellowship of the ring as it has the least amount of green screen scenes.
Jackson Martinez
>all the kino Boromir flashbacks
there's only one, larper, go watch more capeshit and leave lotr to the real men
Bentley Johnson
this, but the opposite
David Sanders
Fellowship extended. Two Towers extended. Return of the King theatrical.
You know it's true.
Josiah King
The extended scenes in two towers looked horseshit. Worse than Hobbit.

that cut away from aragorn's "WHAT SAY YOU?" and then not picking that story back up until they arrive at the battle works so much better than how it plays out in the extended version
even if just for this reason, you should the theatrical cut for a first viewing, agreed

The extended cut of Return of the King is mandatory. The other two can be theatrical if you must.
Cameron Hughes
>Fellowship extended
No
Landon Thomas
>extended/theatrical
I'm not sure I remember the differences anymore.
Jayden Carter
>fellowship of the ring extended
>"here's some extra worldbuilding or quiet character moments"
>two towers extended
>"here's some worldbuilding but some dimwitted action scenes as well" about 50% is unnecessary
>return of the king extended
>"DUDE GIMLI AND LEGOLAS BURPING AND CRINGING WHILE STEPPING ON SKULLS OR SKULL AVALANCHE OR GIMLI NUDGING THE BOW OR THE DEAD TROLLING ARAGORN XDDD"
It's your choice what to do with TTT, but for the love of god don't watch Return of the King extended. The majority of extended the scenes should've been deleted scenes, and contribute nothing for the story.
