I just finished the extra-long edition from The Lord of the Rings. The third installment is over three hours long, but it is totally worth it if you can stick it out. I was late to this series, only catching the third installment while it was in the theatre. That was all the way back in 2003. Since then I have received the trilogy on DVD albeit years later. It was Christmas and I received it as a gift during the year 2008. I will never forget it as those were some of the best times of my life. I remember getting it for Christmas that year and watching the entire trilogy for the next few days. It was memorable and unforgettable.
This time around I decided to start from scratch as usual and watch the entire trilogy from beginning to end. The last installment is of course my favorite, but the others are fun as well. The Return of the King garnered a lot of hype and anticipation. It also won for Best Picture the following year of its release at the 76th Academy Awards along with all 10 of the other awards it was nominated for. This film is a classic and if you have never seen it or if you have never purchased it then I recommend it on Blu-ray Disc as it is now available in High-Definition and I would recommend it over DVD but even then it’s a great time.
