Summary: A Must-See Movie and WELL worth your $$
Review: One of the big bonuses about this dvd set is that all of it, the special features, interviews, etc. is close-captioned for the hearing-impaired (deaf) viewers. A great majority of other dvds, probably about 95%, do not caption their special features! KUDOS to the company who made this dvd set!

Summary: Just way too long
Review: One of the documentaries on the DVD pretty much says it all. They spent over a year in pre-production blowing glass, carving trinkets, and weathering the hobbit village. My take on the movie is that after all that work on minutiae, Jackson HAD to get it up on the screen. The result is a movie that needs about an hour trimmed from it (the pacing makes Attack of the Clones seem taut). There are way too many scenes that are extended just so you can see all the craft work.To make matters worse, this is little more than a movie about midgets being chased by special effects for two hours. Seriously, there's no food for thought, no real exploration of anything beyond what it feels like to be chased by bad guys. ...

Summary: Wizard of Oz....Star Wars......Lord of the Rings!!!!
Review: One of the first fantasy films that changed was The Wizard of Oz. A few decades later came Star Wars. And now for the new generation it will be Lord of The Rings. There is not a dull moment in this movie. Its totally action packed. And just as in Star Wars and The Wizard of Oz, this film managed to become a huge success without using foul language! The PG rating is for some of the fighting scenes but you see more violence than that just fliping on the television. Im not one of these people who try to over analysis movies and find something wrong with them, Im just a regular guy who watches a movie to just to be entertained and relax. If you're anything like me, I give you my word, you are sure to love this movie! If your the other type person who is going to compare this film to the book and try to pick out every difference, you need to get a life!

Summary: fantastic
Review: one of the greatest films that i have seen in a long time. Peter Jackson has condencsed middle earth into a world that sucks you in and does not let go until the final moment
Some people have complained about the way that the film ends but really that is the start of the second book. a year is a long to wait on the next one but at least we don't have to wait for three years, just like the Star Wars saga. this film contains the pure darkness of the empire strrikes back and has mixed it with the likes of gladaitor and other huge epics. with the prospect of huge action scenes to follow in both the two towers and the return of the king, i am sure that we are all in for a treat these following christmases

Summary: Ultimate Movie
Review: One of the greatest movies of all time. A little long (3 hours) but worth every minute and every penny. Extremely close to the book, and the scenes that were cut were filled in properly. Not 100% true to the feeling of the book, but was really well done. Special effects were unbelievable, this is the first film I've seen that another FX company is able to give ILM a run for it's money. The soundtrack is awesome. The first 45 minutes of the movie take a while to get going, but it's necessary background for the movie. On a scale of 1 to 5, I have to give this movie an 11 1/2 =>

Summary: Hours and hours of extra goodies!
Review: One of the greatest things about DVD's is the new expanded storage capability allowing directors and studios to add "making of" content, extra footage or alternative cuts of the movie that wasn't part of the original theatrical release. I must write that this box set of Lord of the Ring: Fellowship of the Ring takes DVD's abilities further than any DVD set I own.
Be prepare to spend several enjoyable evenings viewing some fantastic and in-depth "making of" material. This DVD goes even further than the standard 30-minute short by breaking the entire film making process into many 50 minutes in-depth and fascinating documentaries.
The DVD's are also loaded with a vast store of illustrations and sketches plus on-set still images.
The menus utilize LOTR illustrator Alan Lee's beautiful sketches and paintings to set a wonderful mood when browsing the content. (Similar to browsing the pages of a hand-illustrated old volume that the viewer has tucked away in an ancient library of forgotten works.)
And I also found the commentaries by the actors to be very enlightening and very amusing.
The interactive map of Middle Earth was extremely useful in tracking the journey and plot of the film from one region to another. A very clever and welcome bonus!
This DVD box set is a movie-lovers dream and a great value.
