Just thought I would check with you guys which you want me to watch as I spoke to a few of you who don't think I should spend 4 hours watching and that the Theatricals are better. If I did do the extended version I would split it into 6 videos just like how the BLU-RAY version is with 6 discs. Up to you guys!

The extended version is the best as it fills in background which you don't get in the theatrical version. This means you understand better what is the driving force behind some of the decisions made. The film does depart from the book on quite a few occasions, but it is a worthy attempt at bringing to life what Tolkien himself said, "It is an unfilmable book". That is why he let the film rights go for peanuts as he thought it would never be done.
