LOTR: Double Dip on Extended Versions? - Blu-ray Forum

Marcusarilius · 05-13-2009, 01:38 AM

Me, I will wait for the extended versions to come out on Blu. I would feel just too rediculous owning these two versions on DVD and then on Blu-ray. But thats just me...

What are your plans for the Theatrical and Extended releases on blu?

I am buying both. I have been restraining myself from watching the DVDs for a long time. There's no way that I can hold off until the extended editions are released. Give me great PQ and HD audio and I am 100% in for both!

Ditto

Yea, we have a thread on the LOTR Blu-ray already.

I'll be getting the Theatrical versions for now. I've never seen the EE versions but will probably at least rent them.

I am with you. I just want the movies on Blu. The extended editions are cool, but people are acting like the Theatrical versions are like owning Catwoman.

jkwest · 05-13-2009, 05:01 PM

I preordered these, then cancelled. I really don't know what to do. I love these movies...I just love the EE much moreso.

Not that bad, but as I said, something is missing and seeing the theatrical version now I always say, "hang on a minute where is that scene".

MikeBrady · 05-13-2009, 05:02 PM

I will wait to buy the EE's and just rent the theatrical versions..

Definately wait for Extended versions, did so on DVD. Would be great if The Silmarillion made it to film sometime as a prequel.

CHERRYGARCIA · 05-13-2009, 01:55 AM

Waiting for EE, will rent Theatrical versions from Netflix

Agreed. Not to be a hater - I can't stand these movies but I realize there are lots of fans here - but do these movies need to get even LONGER?

Im not a big fan, I will buy these but not the ee. I don't need it to be any longer than it already is.

Darkhawk9587 · 05-13-2009, 04:14 PM

No. I will wait for the extended versions. I've waited for this long, a little longer is nothing really.

koontz1973 · 05-13-2009, 04:23 PM

Just finnished The two towers on DVD, extended. Glad I waited on buying the DVD as the EE are so much more. Will only buy EE on blu as I will feel something is missing otherwise.

Rovic · 05-13-2009, 04:24 PM

Haven't seen the Extended cuts, but i'm dying to do so now....i'm still stuck wether to wait or just go for the theatrical cuts....

Blu-Benny · 05-13-2009, 04:26 PM
