sam89 Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 This came out yesterday in Europe, and it's amazing! I won't go in to too much detail so I don't spoil it, but all the Editions like Saruman, the Mouth of Sauron, the extended Paths of the Dead sequence are all amazing, whilst there are also lots of smaller additions, like new lines that also help the film. I haven't got round to watching the speical features yet, but I will soon. So I recommend you buy this (or get it for Christmas), it really is brilliant! :-D
ApophisV Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 (or get it for Christmas) That's what it will be for me, thats why I'll not read this thread anymore till I've seen it to avoid spoilers.... ;)
jonfett Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Yes I hope to get it for christmas too, I have seen preview of some of the new scenes and it looks good. I am looking forwards to the mouth of sauron and extended scenes of minas tirith, I would like to see some more footage at the battle of pelanor fields. Jon.
sam89 Posted December 11, 2004 Author Posted December 11, 2004 I would like to see some more footage at the battle of pelanor fields. Yes, there's some new footage in the battles. Some of it isn't very noricable, but there is a few new things that happen that I won't spoil.
Vader Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 It was money well spent IMO, i didnt think it could get any better but im glad to say i was wrong *satis*
DoubleT Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 Yes very good edition, some very big plot holes that is closed :)
Precious Jazz Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I bought my copy yesterday but won't be watching it until Christmas.
ImperialJohn Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I bought my copy yesterday but won't be watching it until Christmas. Know the feeling. I bought it today. But it was taken from me and wraped for christmas :'( 12 days of waiting still. hm.
David85 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 "50 added minutes!" Just what was needed, a 40 hour movie made into an even longer movie.
Orlego Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I have never seen a LOTR movie but my question is... Why didn't Lego get the rights to make LOTR sets? Just imagine how cool they would be. I don't want to get off topic, just wondering.
jonfett Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I think the real reason was Lego has a policy for no war/fighting based sets. So this rules out LOTR. I would have loved to see some a license for it though, the sets would have kicked @ss! But.. no sets means there is more room for us MOC builders! ;) (click on me!) Jon.
DoubleT Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I think the real reason was Lego has a policy for no war/fighting based sets. So this rules out LOTR. Well and Star Wars is the same as Teletubies? lol :D
jonfett Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Star Wars is harldy the brutal, @ss-kicking, orc-slaying, arrow-firing, sword-slashing, death-provoking film that Lotr is.. is it?? :P I don't know exactly what Lego's policy is, but I am sure that is why they didn't pick up the license. Also, another movie license for Lego might have been too expensive... plus Intelliblox got it up first! :| What a pile of sh.... Jon.
ImperialJohn Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 plus Intelliblox got it up first! WHAT. Another Lego-look-a-like. *devil* By the way if the policy is none violent why do we then have Knights? Or what about the bankrobber sets? Teaching children about bankrobbery ???????
Orlego Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 And every Knight set ever made has swords and the mid-evil time was very brutal. Does Lego not have a patent on its blocks look, materials and design along with the locking system of the bricks? How can they continue to make rip-off blocks?
