Before the flaming arrows descend, let me start by saying I'm a fan of Avatar. (Spoilers Below)
I double/triple dipped on the new collectors blu-ray. After watching the theatrical release, the special re-release, the collector's extended edition, and the extra hour of deleted scenes, I've decided...
I need more sleep.
Seriously though, I think I like the pacing original release the best. None of the re-introduced footage really opened anything up for me. I like some of the additional glimpses of clan life, but there isn't much there. The extended love scene? Why was that even mentioned, they stuck their braids together for goodness sake. That was what all the hype was about?
This was not on par with the LOTR extended editions.
If you're a fan of the movie, message, etc then get the collector's edition, you're going to anyway.
