Summary: I was prepared to be disappointed.
Review: The movie exceeded my wildest expectations. There were some inaccuracies, true, but they didn't detract from the overall experience. Much of the dialogue came (surprise, surprise) straight from the book.

Summary: The BEST movie of the century!!!!!!
Review: The movie had every thing a good movie needs: action, danger, suspence, and surprises. Now some people might not understand the plot like the bad critic Jordan, but I myself a young girl understood every thing. Now if you are of the ages 12- anything I difintly recomend this movie as a most see, if you don't see you will be sad you missed it.

Summary: Makes up for the shortcomings of the Thatrical release
Review: The movie I watched in the theater was in many ways a disappointment, because I had read the Tolkien book(s) twice, to say nothing of the supporting supplements published posthumously. In other words, I was a Middle Earth Junkie, and the theatrical version really hurt. It was promising, but ultimately disappointing.This edition makes up for it in many ways. The Two Towers flows more smoothly from this extended edition than from the theatrical release. In addition, there are nearly six hours of commentary from the actors and the technical folks that fans will appreciate. The actors provide a running commentary, and the contributions of the hobbits and the Dwarf (Sean Astin - Sam Gamgee, and John Rhys-Davies - Gimli, son of Gloin) and Boromir (Sean Bean) are notable, as well as the occasional remarks of Ian McKellan. (Viggo Mortensen is not featured in the commentaries.) I echo the sentiments of the editorial reviewers and the other private reviewers; the extended edition is excellent in every way. I think that the casting is superb. The editing in this DVD leaves little to be desired. A wonderful achievement. Archimedes

Summary: Widescreen please!
Review: The movie is a five star, no doubt about that. But why is the first release of the VHS in full screen only? I don't want to wait until November for a two tape extended version which will be widescreen. If the DVD can be widescreen, why can't the VHS. It is very disappointing to me. Widescreen is the best way to view any movie.

Summary: Cut in Half?! Disappointing.
Review: The movie is a masterpiece, and the extra scenes greatly enhance the movie, but the fact that it is cut in half annoys me to no end. It would have been a simple matter to keep the movie as a whole. It would have easily fit onto one dvd. Hopefully they will put out another version that has the extra scenes without splitting the movie in half.

Summary: IT DOESNT HAVE SPANISH SUBTITLES
Review: The Movie is awesome, everybody knows it.
But who in the studio decides to release it without spanish subtitles? There are a lot of people like me who needs that.

Summary: Fellowship does Tolkien justice.
Review: The movie is excellent. If you read the book you won't be at all displeased with Peter Jackson's interpretation. Cinematography and soundtrack are what you pictured in your head when you first read the book. Casting is right on the money and the performances are oscar calibur. A must see!

Summary: Epic and Extraordinary
Review: The movie is gorgeous! From the opening voiceover to the haunting Ringwraiths to the enchanting Rivendell, it never ceases to amaze its viewers. The actors could not have been chosen any better, each one portraying their character with amazing realness. Ian McKellan is wonderful as the comical and wise wizard, Gandalf, as Elijah Wood is fantastic as the wide-eyed Frodo Baggins. The movie seamlessly and effortlessly flows from scene to scene. The first half introduces us to the world of Middle Earth and presents us the plot, giving even the most un-Tolkein of fans a clear history of such a complicated world. We witness Frodo journey to Bree, where he meets Viggo Mortensen, wonderfully cast as Aragorn, the heroic human who guides Frodo on his journey, and become chilled with the characters during the eerie scene at Weathertop. Liv Tyler, ethereal and beautiful as the Elvish Princess Arwen, rescues Frodo by fleeing the Nazgul in the most thrilling scene of the movie. It wraps up the journey to Rivendell on an extreme note of energy. Then we are introduced to the rest of the Fellowship in the enchanting Rivendell. The movie carries on, with never a dull moment. We visit the frightening mines of Moria and the mystical world of Lothlorien. Cate Blanchett is fantastic as the mysterious Galadriel. The movie ends with anticipation and a surefire next-year box office hit, The Two Towers. Not one to miss.
Notable Performances:
Ian McKellan- He plays the wizard in such a grandfatherly way, we feel we can all confide in him, a character which we never even knew.
Liv Tyler- She deserves her leading credit and definately not the negative views of the Tolkein fans. She portrays Arwen splendidly and you'll leave the movie wanting to see more of this character.
Elijah Wood- Up and coming, we will be sure to see more of this young man in movies to come.

Summary: Wait!! A NEW EXTENDED version is being released in Nov. >:(
Review: The movie is great and the DVD extras certainly give you lots of details as to the pains Peter Jackson went through to capture Tolkeins vision.
BUT
I bought the first DVD out only to see the ad for the New Extended version coming in Nov in Special Features. I am getting really sick of making the committment to purchase a movie only to find that a newer upgraded version is coming SOON.
I can't return an opened DVD and I certainly don't need 2 copies of ANY movie.
There are 30 minutes of extra footage added to the extended version which may or may not be worth it. There are a total of 4 discs with the NEW release. I didn't think I would have to research this purchase. Check the Lord of the Rings website for info on the upcoming release. I don't care for this trend. It discourages me from buying DVDs.
There should be some sort of trade up provision. This would make me feel like a valued fan of the movie instead of a sucker. I won't be rushing to buy any more of the Lord of the Rings DVDs.
Do your research first. If you liked the movie just like it was in the theatres, this is a great buy. If you want the latest and greatest with all the bells and whistles you can get, WAIT!
