TWO THUMBS - WAY UP!!!
VERY VERY good movie, excellent additions to the original theatre version. The school put it on in the gym on the big projector screen and there were a TON of us students all sprawled out on couches, chairs, and pillows on the gym floor.
WELL WORTH the 4 hours I was there watching it (except for a short 15 min intermission of course!) I would recommend seeing the extended version, even if you have seen the original already.
Now a big group of us are planning on going to the opening night of the TWO TOWERS... its going to be a LORD OF THE RINGS CHRISTMAS!!! LOL
