*shakes head* Why would you watch the short versions? They skip all the best parts.
Yes, the tol versions are far superior!

Really though, the extended editions are much better.
AGREED.

We're not counting the rock giants, because they're not in the movies, and that's all most of the poor, uneducated public knows. And Smaug is from the Hobbit, but is dead by the Lord of the Rings, so he doesn't count.

Technically he doesn't have a physical form- and how can you measure the height of something immaterial? He can't be tol if he doesn't exist in space.

Even if there were other, taller ents, they don't have the *presence* that Treebeard does, being an important character and all. Tolness is not solely a measure of physical height, it is a psychological impression.

No doubt about it, Treebeard is the tolest.

Sauron's psychological impression well made up for the fact he had no physical form.
    I have a shiny thing! See?

Well, actually; he does, just in the movies he's an eye, but in the books, he looks like a dark elf
