Summary: THE BEST!!!
Review: This is the award winning movie you saw this summer. After seeing this movie I am now a TOTAL LOTR NUT!!!!!!!!!!! If you're worried about this not matching the book, you don't have much to worry about!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best choice of the year!
Review: This is the best choice for anyone who loved and watched several times the movie at the theaters.

Now, you can have a peek in Two Towers' production as well as watch interviews with Peter Jackson and most of the actors.

Summary: 4-Disc Extended Version - Platinum Edition
Review: This is the best DVD I've ever bought, borrowed, or otherwise encountered. If you haven't seen the extended version of this movie, you haven't seen this movie. If you are like me and liked the theatrical version but were less than overwhelmed, you won't believe how much better this version is. If you read no further, here's my bottom line advice: You should certainly buy this A+ DVD, and you should buy it from Amazon[.com] because of the generous [promotion].

When I saw the film in its theatrical version last December, I remember feeling impressed, but I wouldn't have needed any exclamation points to review it. I have read the book(s) at least five times since junior high, and the movie translation was more or less faithful, but it was also a little dull. So, I wasn't in a hurry to buy the first DVD. WOW, am I glad I waited!! (Note: two exclamation marks).

The extended version of this film, unlike so many other self-indulgent "director's cuts" is a revelation. I was completely hypnotized. For all its 208 minutes, I didn't want it to end. The special features on this DVD are as good as those of any DVD I have ever seen. Read the Amazon[.com] review above on the bells and whistles. I agree totally and have nothing to add.

If you've never purchased a DVD in your life, and you don't intend ever to purchase another, break your own rule and buy this one. I repeat: If you have not seen the extended version, you have *not* seen this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wish I had room for more stars
Review: This is the best fantasy movie ever, period. Hands down. No room for discussion or debate.
The additions are seamless. This is the best DVD in my collection and I suspect it will retain that title for years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Truly Amazing
Review: This is THE best film I have ever seen. it has made me eager for the sequel, the Two Towers. This cast is awesome, the scenery is beautiful and rugged, and the special effects have no equal. But beyond that, this movie makes you feel every emotion, from joy in the Shire, to terror as the Fellowship is chased by Ring Wraiths and Orcs, to complete and total sadness at the raw pain of the characters. Elijah Wood is awesome as Frodo and Sir Ian Mcklellan rocks as Gandalf. Viggo Mortensen really is a great Aragorn and Sean Bean does an excellent job of portraying the very torn Boromir. Liv Tyler was great as Arwyn even though we don't get to see much of her and Cate Blanchett's portrayel of Galadriel sends chills up the spine. In short, from start to finish, this movie is truly one of the best films ever made.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lord of the Rings 2001 sets new standard
Review: This is the best film I have seen in decades. Story, directing and acting are top notch, set in a seamless handiwork of set design, costume and special effects. The viewer is pulled into the film, forgetting all place and time and when it is over, you feel as if things are just starting. Lord of the Rings is simply that fascinating.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Will all you Tolkein fans get a life
Review: This is the best film of recent times, it's epic, it's moving and wonderful, but some Tolkien fans don't seem to like it... WHY? because of bloody Tom Bombodil. The exclusion of this totally superflous character who was added after the book was written, has them crying into their beer, again I ask why. In the original text, Tom was the nasty sticking point in the first book. The books pace from Hobbiton to Old man Willow is amazing, you are pulled along by the text. But when Tom appears, the pace vanishes and the book loses it's way. It's as if Tolkien stood up and let a 2 year old write the following chapters.

So Peter Jackson removed him, GOOD! The pace remains and we don't have to suffer the happy-clappy mentallity of Tom and his missus. So Arwen is used instead of Glorfindel..GOOD! She's obviously an important part of Aragorn's life (as evidenced in the indexes) and it makes sense for a character that will be a part of the story to help Frodo.

All kudos to Tolkien for the ideas and the work gone into the trilogy, but for a theatrical work, his book needed chopping. The pomposity of the text, the badly written fight scenes...(Boromir is disposed of off screen and dismissed with a single line)and some of the most stilted dialogue ever committed to paper needed these edits.

So all you Tolkien fans get a life and realise that your precious book can never be filmed scene by scene, without appearing disjointed and patchy.

This film rules

Summary: A must see!
Review: This is the BEST movie EVER made!!!! i LOVED it!!! I've seen it 5 times already, and am going again soon!! Frodo is the CUTEST!! If u wanna see a good movie, go sse this one. It's about Frodo Baggins and the Ring of power. But read the books first. Or else it totally ruins it (and get scared outta ur wits!). Well worth the movie $$$.
