Join me for an in-depth analysis and breakdown of each change Peter Jackson made to The Fellowship of the Ring when creating the Extended Edition.

Almost universally accepted as the superior cut of the film, the Extended Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring is often held as one of the prime examples of what is already an excellent film being improved by the inclusion of additional footage.
