with the extended edition it is almost like six films because if i remember it right none of the parts last longer then two hours and it`s six parts


True. But perhaps each part should be about three hours.

I would have liked to have seen 6 movies as much as the next guy, but unfortunately, I don't think you could pull 6, solid, money making movies out of the books. Stuff like the Scouring of the Shire and the Old Forest, while interesting, doesn't fit into the standard movie plot line very well.

There are only so many climactic battles you know?

Again, I'd have liked to have seen it too, but I can see why the producers didn't fund it.

Well, yes, but I still think it would have worked. Maybe not as well, but it would still have worked.

It would NOT have worked for the normale crowd. It could have worked for us lotr fans (real fans) but not for normal people who just wanted to see a movie.

Probably, but who should the films work for? The devoted fans? Or the people who just want to watch a film?

Unfortunately it would have to be the latter because that is how film companies make their money. :(

You can't blame them for that, it's how they make a living. They don't really have a choice. :roll:

Technically speaking the Scourging of the Shire is in FoTR. It is in Galadriels mirror scene and the images Frodo sees is how PJ chose to depict the Scourging.
Some of the great lines are used elsewhere - Gandlaf to Pippin at Minas Tirith - "and all turns to silver glass..." is what Tom Bombadil said to Frodo.
There are others though I need to refresh the grey matter.
I wasn't keen on Gandalf getting a slap from the Witch King. In the book the confronted at the gates and were locked in each others will before the horns of Rohan diverted the Witch King. Best line ever in the books - Rohan had come...

If you haven't seen the extended versions then you must, they do tell a better story.

Yes, especially the Paths of the Dead.

And generally extended scenes to include a bit more proper detail. :)

Another consideration is the time factor.
If you compare Shawshank Redemption - a classic film in it's own right, but this film was based on a Steven King short story.
Then you have the size and might of LOTR in all it's slendour.
Unless PJ made each film nearly six hours long, you would struggle to get all the content in.
I suppose he had to trade and use a lot of 'artistic licence' in his approach, but credit where credit is due. It's the films that got me started on the treck and I have enjoyed every step.

That's my point. They should have been made six hours long.

New Line were obviously attempting to pull in as many people as possible - a quarter of a day would have lost a lot of the casual cinema-goers.
