Summary: Great Version of LOTR but...
Review: This is possibly my favoritest movie but there are a few setbacks to it. For one, if you ahve a certain version of a dell computer, you cant play the movie on your computer. The extra 30 minutes of movie time makes the movie great! Oh yeah, on my version, the film is very bright. It is hard to see some of the mountain scenes and the sketches on the appendices. Otherwise it us a great movie for only around 10 more than the regular version!

Summary: The ultimate adventure.
Review: Lavish. Lush. Astonishing. The Fellowship of the Ring is the most elaborate and lovingly crafted film of the last two decades. Peter Jackson has done the film community a wondrous thing in taking this seemingly un-filmable story and turned it into a masterpiece. This is the ulimate story of sacrifice. It is a story of the bonds of love, family, and friendship. It is a story of war, hate, and loss. It is a tale of redemption. And it works like nothing I have ever seen before. The performances in the film are honestly touching. Aragorn is the conflicted soul, knowing his destiny but denying it in the face of possible failure..the familial curse. Gandalf, the loving "grandfather" terrified in the face of a barely perceived evil that he cannot stop. Frodo, the boy-man innocent to the world around him, but aching for an adventure he will one day regret. Sam...the loving friend. And...Boromir...the most powerfully portrayed character in the film. The lost warrior that fails the one true test he must face. His redemption is one of the most moving scenes ever put on film. From the performances, special-effects, score, editing and screenwriting, this is the finest example of a group of people working toward one vision that you will ever see. Highly recommended.

Summary: The BEST DVD set you will EVER buy, seriously...
Review: I have probably watched through all the special features and the actual movie 40 or 50 times each....this DVD set has some heavenly presence that I cannot explain. And not only does this set have special features coming out of the wazoo, the film is also VERY good (one of the best I have ever seen). To top it all off, the movie has several good commentaries (my favorite is the Cast commentary).About the film: The Fellowship of the Ring is perhaps one of the greatest films ever created. [Sadly, I have not read the book, so I cannot give my opinion on comparisions.] It has more "conflict" than I've ever seen or read in a film or book-- all the characters in the fellowship are all fighting not to take the ring (or should I say let the ring take them...) Also, the effects are really awesome, and the acting is great. What really puts the icing on the cake, though, is that there is a wonderful score playing throughout composed by Howard Shore-- it really defines the plot and characters. The bonus features are great, too. REALLY great. All the different documentaries cover just about every aspect of the film, spanning from J.R.R. Tolkien himself to the large scale models used to bring Middle Earth to life. I especially love hearing actors' accounts of while they were filming in New Zealand and such...there is some really fascination things to learn. If you haven't gotten this DVD set yet, you will never experience the true BLISS of those who do own it like myself. Get it before it's too late!

Summary: A thoroughly satisfying film version of Tolkein's fantasy
Review: This film version of the first volume of J. R. R. Tolkein's LORD OF THE RINGS will disappoint only the most hardcore Tolkein literalists, who won't accept even a single word being changed (and who probably wouldn't be content with anything short of a 300 hour long mini series). For the rest of us, seeing this film will be a remarkably immersive, moving, and impressive experience. Despite the fact that the series is incomplete as I write this (THE RETURN OF THE KING comes out this coming fall), I have to place this on my official list of my 100 Favorite Movies. In the interests of full disclosure, I will add that I am not what one would consider a Tolkein fanatic. I read the entire series in college, and later when my daughter was three-years-old I read her the trilogy aloud. I consider it to be a good, but hardly great, work of literature. The movie does so many things so well it is difficult to know where to begin. One has, I suppose, to begin with the art and set design. I have never seen a film that paid so much attention to detail. The design of the tiniest objects onscreen appears to have been labored over. The jewelry, for instance, is both striking and unique. I especially like the clasps the 'fellowship' wear on the Elvin cloaks. The effort expended on the jewelry is typical of everything else. The make up, the furniture design, the boats, the weapons, absolutely everything that appears onscreen seems to have emerged from another world and from the most dedicated crafts persons. Technically, the film is a marvel. The photography, the CGI scripting, the myriad of special effects is all very close to perfect. One never is bothered or disturbed or skeptical by the presence onscreen of the Hobbits and humans and dwarves. Other aspects of the production, such as the photography and music and sound, are also done about as well as is possible. The casting is impeccable. Ian McKellan is perfect as Gandalf, my favorite character from the novels. Viggo Mortensen is a fine Strider/Aragorn. Elisha Wood still, even after the first two films, completely won me over, but it doesn't hurt the film as a whole. Orlando Bloom and John Rhys-Davies are great as an Elf and Dwarf respectively. Most of the rest of the cast is rock solid. I was especially pleased to see Ian Holm, who voiced Frodo in the famed radio version of LORD OF THE RINGS, portray Bilbo. Christopher Lee, who is not only a Tolkein fanatic but is the only member of the cast to have actually met Tolkein, does his usual capable job of being evil as Saruman. My only real disappointment in the film, as I'm sure it was to many who have read the novels, was the decision to not include Tom Bombodil, unquestionably the most important character in the novels to be excluded. The Tom Bombodil sequence is one of the most delightful in the trilogy, and provides both a break in the long journey to the Elves and is crucial in making the journey feel long and eventful. As a result, in the movie that journey seems to take considerably less time than in the novel. I know that not every detail or scene in the novel could make its way into the movie, but that was one that I especially lament. Besides, Tom is such an outrageous character, it would have been delightful to see how they would have portrayed him. Otherwise, I have no major complaints with the film. Most scenes and events are portrayed anywhere from adequately to spectacularly. I especially loved the way they handled how the world looked whenever Frodo put on the ring.

Summary: Good Movie but bad DVD
Review: This movie was great but why do you need two DVDs for just a 3 hour movie? The widescreen version is too small unless you ahev a 40 inch televesion. The added scenes that were directly put into the movie was a kool effect.
