Christ, I wish he could just release the full version in the cinema. I know alot of people would like to see the film as it should be, and in the cinema setting.

For example, watching The Two Towers in the cinema was an amazing experience, but I was kind of underwhelmed when I watched it in the summer again on DVD (also having read the books too).

But I got the extended edition for Christmas, and it's like a new film. The bits that are added in make the film appear more seamless, less rushed and pad out the story nicely. If Return of the King has an even greater amount to be added back in, chances are it'll be sensational. Not that it wasn't great already.
