My friend Brian often reviews movies, CDs, concerts, and other stuff on his blog. I’ve always thought that was pretty cool, so I think I’ll do some of the same here.

The Good
This movie is another masterpiece of cinematography and story telling. If you liked the original movie, you’ll love the extended edition. The extra scenes add quite a bit to the film, especially the parts about the dead men that Aragorn recruits to fight for him.

The Bad
With the added scenes, this is an extremely long movie. It actually spans two DVDs now. Be prepared to spend a long evening watching it.

The Ugly
There were no ugly parts of this film, except of course for the ugly creatures that they were fighting.

The Bottom Line
If you liked the original Return of the King, this one is a must see. If you didn’t like the original Return of the King, what’s wrong with you?
