For fans of these stories, the extended editions are the versions to see. In the Fellowship EE there's more dialogue and explanation, which fleshes out Middle Earth and provides fascinating history (listen to Gandalf's explanation of "Mithril"). And even an additional conversation here or there adds up to a truly great experience. I loved all of the extras at Lothlorien, one of the crucial parts of the book and something that they had to unfortunately cut for the movie theater. If you are looking for more action or special effects, you may be disappointed. But if you loved Tolkien for his characters and language as much as his battle scenes you will be overjoyed
