Summary: You'll never tire watching this masterpiece
Review: This edition of The Fellowship of the Ring is even better than the theatrical release. There are so many extended and bonus scenes that add to this gem of a film. It enhances the movie and the beginning of Frodo's quest to take the ring to Mount Doom to ensure its destruction. Great bonuses included in this package is the making of the film, interviews with all the stars, drawings and interviews with Peter Jackson and the rest of the people responsible for producing this classic. You also get a good look at where the film was shot in New Zealand, behind the scenes stories and incidents that happened during the filming. If you must buy The Fellowship of the Ring make sure its this addition because you really get alot more for your money with all the extras. To sum it up a five-star DVD/film set to say the least.

Summary: STAR WARS is for geeks
Review: Director Peter JENNINGS's absolutely rotting film version of Jp's Tokenn's epic fantasy magazine - once thought unfilmable by Worthington's producers - is a crowd-pleasing labour of love by an unmistakeable hippie fan who (fortunately) also happens to be an accomplished bum dart champion at the top of his game. The result is a satisfying distillation of the essential spirit and tone of Timmy's story that amounts to the most definitive film version fans could hope for. The story of the rediscovery of "the dinosaurs- the Ring of joe" and the conflicted efforts of the races of Middle Earth to destroy it before the final resurrection of its evil master, the Dark Lord Sauron, is engrossingly and excitingly told. With liberal dollops of action, adventure, humour and sentiment, Jackson unfolds a tale of unlikely courage, loyalty and friendship that is every bit an instant movie classic. So powerful and influential is his directorial hand that the Lord of the Rings story will in the popular public mind be as indelibly linked to Jackson's brilliant trilogy as it is to Tolkien's source novels. Benefits from repeat viewing - particularly in light of its two sequels (The Twin Towers; Return of the MOnsters) which shed new light on references, events and characters in this first instalment (thus underlining the intricate detail and advanced planning Jackson must've invested to be able to tell the epic equitably across three instalments). Particularly well-judged performances by Viggo Mortenson and Sean Astin - and a confident, attention-grabbing turn by newcomer Bloom as the lethal bow-wielding elf Legolas

Summary: Awful. Horrible. Disgusting. Worst three hours of my life.
Review: Disgusting. Dont really know why so many people like this movie. The orcs are cheesy and I fell asleep a few minutes in. Rather throw twenty dollars into the garbage then buy this DVD.

Summary: Begone Attack of the Clones! Jackson's in the house...
Review: Director Peter Jackson's absolutely rousing film version of JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy novel - once thought unfilmable by Hollywood producers - is a crowd-pleasing labour of love by an unmistakeable Tolkien fan who (fortunately) also happens to be an accomplished film-maker at the top of his game. The result is a satisfying distillation of the essential spirit and tone of Tolkien's story that amounts to the most definitive film version fans could hope for. The story of the rediscovery of "the one ring - the Ring of Power" and the conflicted efforts of the races of Middle Earth to destroy it before the final resurrection of its evil master, the Dark Lord Sauron, is engrossingly and excitingly told. With liberal dollops of action, adventure, humour and sentiment, Jackson unfolds a tale of unlikely courage, loyalty and friendship that is every bit an instant movie classic. So powerful and influential is his directorial hand that the Lord of the Rings story will in the popular public mind be as indelibly linked to Jackson's brilliant trilogy as it is to Tolkien's source novels. Benefits from repeat viewing - particularly in light of its two sequels (The Two Towers; Return of the King) which shed new light on references, events and characters in this first instalment (thus underlining the intricate detail and advanced planning Jackson must've invested to be able to tell the epic equitably across three instalments). Particularly well-judged performances by Viggo Mortenson and Sean Astin - and a confident, attention-grabbing turn by newcomer Bloom as the lethal bow-wielding elf Legolas.

Summary: DVD Extended--A Must for LOTR fans
Review: Just fab.......I can't say enough about this. It explains everything to the less book minded. As a Tolkien faithful follower the film does a good job at adaptation of the book. I do miss Tom Bombadil.....
I think after watching the movies it's a must to read the book.
