Took me longer than I would have liked to get to this but since it is one of the absolute all-time faves of both my wife's as well, I waited until we both had a few hours free. That allowed us to watch the 720p version, which was a nice bonus.
Great job with this edit. This is one of my all-time favorite movies so I was happy to see an extended edition. Sure, most of these were cut with good reason but it's a really enjoyable alternate experience to watch it all as a 3 hour cut. The scenes are of lower quality but it's not jarring and looks as good as it can. The visual and audio cuts are seamless. The music was especially well done over the deleted scenes to create a really seamless experience. It won't replace the original for me through no fault of the editor. The theatrical cut is just perfect in my opinion, but this provides a fun alternative that I will certainly revisit many times.
