 After seeing Return of the King and loving it, there couldn't have been a better time to enjoy the second part of the Tolkien trilogy, so I jumped right into this Christmas gift first! This is a four DVD set, including the extended cut of the film on two discs (over four hours), plus two more discs of bonus material. The movie was fantastic - I loved all of the new scenes, especially the ones centered on Faramir, which really establishes his relationship with Boromir and their deranged dad. Lots of scenes set things up nicely for the third film, so it was interesting seeing this after Return of the King and knowing where things were headed. The bonus material is spectacular (as expected), but I was a little overwhelmed by the photo galleries (over 1,500 stills, and I had to spend a few seconds looking at every single one!). Just like with Fellowship of the Ring, I was amazed at the use of miniatures - half of the things I suspected were CG were actually models! I only wish I had the extended Return of the King right this very minute, but that's what next Christmas is for.
