By hour three I was in sore need of a break, though the film provides no clear opportunity to engage in one. The previous extended editions already pushed the boundaries of reason when it came to lengthiness, but the ROTK: EE smashes through them into a realm of extreme over-stimulation. There’s so much material in here now and so much happening all at once in one single sitting, that the film is an incredibly daunting undertaking. I’m not just talking about the gradual numbing of my ass either.

The Return of the King Extended Edition is quite simply too long. We’re talking about a movie approaching four and a half hours at this point. With the new footage, Return of the King now adds up to a sum total of 250 minutes of run time. The amount of new material is massive in an already massive movie. The extended edition takes that celebrated theatrical release and adds in a full 50 more minutes of footage, most of which was removed due to time constraints, or narrative reasons. The theatrical version of Return of the King won the Oscar as 2003’s best film and was of course, my favorite movie of the year. Peter Jackson’s epic opus is the new king. Star Wars, Godfather, Citizen Kane, take a seat. When the pieces are fit together you have an unequalled cinematic experience. One film that happens to have been split up into three parts. Much like the book, it really is one film. In fact, with the last movie in its final, extended incarnation seen, I’m finally going to come right out and say it: Lord of the Rings is the best movie ever made. Collectively, the three Lord of the Rings films without a doubt represent not only the best of their genre, but perhaps the best filmmaking of all time.

It is the culmination of the most massive, lovingly constructed, movie masterpiece of all time. Already the longest of the three films in its theatrical release, Return of the King is also the most awarded of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. With crucial moments like the demise of Saruman and the Mouth of Sauron rightfully returned to Return of the King for its extended edition, measuring up to the previous EE’s would seem to be a slam dunk. The extended editions of both the Two Towers and Fellowship of the Ring have firmly replaced the much shorter, theatrically released versions of both films as the definitive way to view the first two Lord of the Rings movies.
