The Movies - Extended Version vs. Theatrical
Does anyone here have an opinion about the different releases of the movies? Is the extended version worth having if you are only going to have one?

I know this: If the theatrical version of FotR didn't quite live up to your expectations, the extended stuff makes it way better. Can't say that for the other two though, especially RotK.

i think all the extended stuff makes all the movies better, as it adds more depth.

It does definitely improve the movies...and I actually thought some of the stuff they added to FOTR were nice touches that unfortunately didn't always seem to flow with the movie, like the way they mangled scenes for the "Woodelves" scene.
But some of the scenes for ROTK and TTT were absolutely great, like the ROTK "soup scene" and the "Final Count" scene from TTT..."He's twitching because he's got my axe embedded in his nervous system!"
