It comes out today in the U.S. A 4-CD set with 223-minute director's cut and numerous bonus features, much like they did with the first movie.
Are you gonna buy it? Why or why not?

223 minutes? The original was only 180 minutes--that's a LOT of new stuff. Fellowship only had 20 minutes of new scenes.

the new stuff is good. the faramir stuff shouldn't have been cut(180 minutes is painful tho).

tolkeins portrayal of faramir was of no consequence to any of the book. he was a stop gap. someone to meet. look if ur a rabid "omg wutever tolkein wrote is gospel" then well....stay away from me.
but faramir's increased presence and interesting character progression is good for the movie. whether OR NOT tolkein ever wrote it.

Heh. I have a similar take on what was done to Faramir. But I'd rather have some extra stuff that *might* explain why they did it than not.
yavoon,
Suffice it to say I disagree re: Faramir. When I read the book, he was one of my favorite characters. When I saw TTT for the first time, I was shocked at the changes. Not just because changes were made, but because I can't for the life of me figure out WHY they were made. I understood the changes/cuts in FotR. I didn't get most of the stuff they did in TTT.
Anyway, Peter Jackson has done a great job overall, but I do think he completely wrecked Faramir, and since I like that character, it irritates me.

this is paraphrasing from the dvd extended version.
but faramir was changed because shelod was cut out. and w/o shelod sam and frodo really don't do anything. they walk around, meet gollum, gollum takes em to black gate(oh can't go there!) so they walk around some more.
now atleast for some time they are in a touch more peril. and the peril is not pure evil. but the inner struggle of the weak human. AND unlike boromir faramir wins his.
