Ok, I haven't purchased it but I made sure I was up in time this morning to go rent it. A friend of mine is giving it to me for Christmas, but there's NO WAY I could wait 11 days to watch it. So this morning while I was baking cookies I watched it, and let me tell you it was like watching a whole different movie.
What follows is my review and comments of ROTK:EE if you do not wish to be spoiled please turn away now.

ok then you asked for it

This one really had a different feel than the last two extended editions probably cuz they were all pretty much caps. Icing on the cake if you will. The first two EEs gave you more insight into the next film that was to come, but this one, there was nothing else to look forward to. :( That being said, however, the scenes I found the most enjoyable were: Legolas' and Gimli's drinking game :lol , Merry kicking Orc butt at the battle of Pelennor, and by far my favorite were the scenes at the houses of healing between Eowyn and Faramir. Soooo touching! I was jumping up and down with excitment, their story was so well written in the book they became my favorite couple. There was also one more tearjerker moment thrown in for me. When Eomer finds the dying Eowyn, his cries were so real... uh... I'm getting choked up just thinking about it.
Anywho, that's my review of the FINAL Lord of the Rings film. I am so sad that there won't be anymore, we can only hope that Peter Jackson will get to make the Hobbitt, then having Ian Mckellen back as Gandalf would be a nice consolation prize. :)

Just bought this last night. I am really glad that the movie was more true to the book than we thought. I found it interesting to make a movie one way for the theater and then put back all the scenes we were wondering about... especially (for me) the relationship between the Eomir and Faramir. Seemed to be so much missing from this movie initially, just glad that we can see all of the additional stuff. I am sure there are people who will say that the movie should have been made this way to begin with and that we are all just sheep in the big corporate cog by thinking this is great that we will spend all of this money blah blah blah, I ran outta juice.. so sorry...you get the idea...

ROTK:EE is the most amazing movie, it's so completely different from the TE, it's like it's a different story, a better one. Everything was great, the extended scenes, the commentaries, and the behind the scenes footage, especially the part about the last days of filming. The movie always makes me cry (I'm a sap, what can I say?) but I was surprised that the farewells from the cast had me weeping, they were so sad.

I loved it although I admit we played MST3K when we watched it re: some of the things that made no sense. But I still love it.

ROTK: EE is AMAZING!!! I love the Faramir/Eowyn scenes too.

Have you seen the easter egg? It's the same place as on the other two, after the last scene in 1st disc scene selection; an interview of sorts between Dom and Elijah...

Hello,

The Extended Edition is really cool:D

I also love the new Faramir & Éowyn Scenes:)

I only watched a bit of the behind the scenes, but I did see their last day of filming where everyone had to say goodbye.

Another good scene is where Aragorn saves Éowyn, and the drinking game is funny.:lol

Take Care,
KingLancelot
