So what did happen to Saruman? Now you can find out....
2 of 2 found this helpful This four-disc extended version of the Return of the King contains numerous extras (including, for true die-hard fans, a full running commentary by the director and writers). However, I bought it mainly to see the scenes that were cut from the cinema release, in particular the final confrontation with Saruman and Wormtongue at Isengard.
Apart from this excellent scene, I did not feel the extended version added as much to the theatrical release as did the extended version of the Fellowship of the Ring, which provided quite a lot more background to the story. In fact, I think the editing of the cinema version was better with regard to Aragorn's recruitment of the Oathbreakers of Dunharrow, as the outcome was left ambiguous until the last possible moment.
Unfortunately, the Scouring of the Shire did not make it into the script at all (for reasons explained in an interview with the director), although it was quite important in the book. I think this is the main criticism I would make of any of the three Lord of the Rings films.
Overall, though, a terrific conclusion to an amazing trilogy, and well worth getting if you haven't already bought the original cinema release version.

Excellent value if you're looking for a basic TV with built-in DVD player
Good picture and sound quality. The design of the remote could be better, but it's a minor issue.

The best live action film ever made by Disney
1 of 1 found this helpful I remember seeing this film when I was very young, and although I didn't understand all of it, I enjoyed it very much. Now that I've seen it again, I realise just how good it was. It stars some of the finest actors of the time, and the special effects look more 1990s than 1950s. Particularly interesting is the fact that it is much more serious than any other Disney film I have seen, with a fairly pessimistic attitude towards human nature and the way atomic power has been used (being the 1950s, this was a pretty topical issue and was discussed in many films of the period, but to find it in a Disney film is surprising).
Made around the same time as the other classic live action films from Disney (such as Treasure Island and Kidnapped), I would say this is the best of a fine collection, and probably more interesting for adult audiences than its contemporaries. Admittedly, some aspects of it do seem little dated now (South Sea cannibals being overcome by advanced Western technology without being given a chance to demonstrate the less carnivorous elements of their native culture), but in the era of the John Wayne western, this ranks as a sensitive portrayal.
Intelligent, exciting and even a little thought-provoking, this film is far removed from the Pirates of the Caribbean-style escapist nonsense made by Disney today. Definitely worth getting the restored, widescreen version now available on DVD.
