Before investing three and a half hours into the final Rings film, there’s one or two things you should know. A) If you have ten and a half hours to spare, you may also want to see the first two movies again on the big screen, with all the DVD versions’ added scenes. Or, B) If you don’t, there are plenty of people who will, and later they may sit next to you in the theater, so bring plenty of nerd repellent. We’re also wondering if there will be a special shortened edition of the trilogy in which the giant eagle that saved Gandalf in the first movie simply flies Frodo off to destroy the ring of power. That one would be about ten minutes long. (As to whether we’re in camp A or B, the fact that we know that the eagle’s name is Gwaihir the Windlord is all the evidence we’ll give, and all you should need.)
