Rating: Summary: One of the best DVDs of all time. Review: This DVD is any fan's dream. Packed with behind the scenes features, and additional footage, this DVD is even better than the theatrical version. Somehow Peter Jackson and New Line have managed to outdo themselves once again!
Rating: Summary: Great Movie, Great way to know as much as Possible about it Review: This Dvd is great for those of us who need to know everything about something we love!!
Rating: Summary: Spectacular DVD, With Good Extras Review: This DVD is jam packed with great interviews of your favrotie characters, behind the scenes, and what I found most interesting, WETA Workshop has been the best extra on it so far. The deleted scenes are wonderful, they give the characters much more characterization. This is a must have for any Lord of the Ring DVD fan, and I got a free The Two Towers ticket in mine, so that paid off the extra 10 bucks right there. I can't wait untill The Two Towers releases in Extended Edition!!!! On the downfall, the movie is formatted in Widescreen but with my new 27" RCA I got for Christmas, WHO CARES. GO GET IT
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This dvd is only for fans of the books that were disapointed that some parts of the book were left out of the movie. Altough it doesn't contain everything that is in the book ,because if it did it would be at least 8 hours long, it is very well made. Like I already mentioned this is only for the fans of the books so if you didn't read the books you might get a little bored. Also if you haven't read the books I urge to go read them they are excellent.
Rating: Summary: greatest movie of all time Review: This dvd is SPECTACTULAR. It is 3 hours ,but is worth your wait. I keep wanting to see it again and again after I see it. It is on of my favorite movies and I have seen lots of movies. Ian Mckellen is WONDERFUL as Gandalf. The special efects are great. The movie starts to get good early so you don't have to be bored while watching it. There are LOTS of awesome parts in the movie. And has a great plot.
Rating: Summary: A UnDescribable Beauty Review: This DVD is truly the best DVD that has been made to date. There are so many features and things to explore on the discs involved, and they're worth exploring. They are more than mere filler that fills up space like on most other DVDs. The extra footage and add-ons are definitly worth while. The movie itself is outstanding quality and beauty. The graphics cannot be put to words because they are so unbelievable. If you did not see this movie in theatres, you clearly are missing out on a masterpiece. The story-line is from the books, and actually do the books justice. So if you did not want to see this movie because you thought it didn't compare to the books, that is by far a false assumption. The movie is 3 hours long and in that 3 hours, you will never get bored with the movie. If you have seen this movie, you know that it is a must have on DVD. This makes the perfect Christmas, holiday, or birthday gift for anyone who loves Sci-Fi, Fantasy, or just great stories and material in general. DO NOT miss out on this DVD. To do so would truly be a mistake. It is a part of history and will go down as a classic. If you don't believe me, buy the DVD for yourself and see why. I guarantee you that it WILL NOT be money wasted, but it will be an experience in itself gained.
Rating: Summary: Lord of the DVDs Review: This DVD set is amazing!! It's great to see the movie with all of the extra footage! I've been watching all the supplementary material that comes with the set and I still haven't watched all of it yet. I have really enjoyed learning how Peter Jackson has got me believing that Elijah Wood is actually half the size of Ian McKellan!! The movie is just so amazing! Not to mention you receive a voucher to see Two Towers for free, you get 3 collectible (foil) trading cards, and a set of bookends of the Argonath. There are 4 DVDs with movie material and information. You also receive a 5th DVD of the National Geopraphic special of Lord of the Rings (I haven't got to that one yet!) This is a definite buy-you'll love it!! The movie is action packed and so well done. The effects out do any other movie I've seen. So many times movies abuse the use of computer effects and end up looking fake and cheesy. Peter Jackson and his crew did an amazing job! And even more amazing is that they show you how they did it in the extra material!! Hope this helps!!
Rating: Summary: Good value for quality movie Review: This DVD set is awsome. I got a free movie ticket for The Two Towers as a bonus. It is a must have. Ps. The Two Towers is even better. Don't forget to watch it.
Rating: Summary: For All True Tolkien Fans Review: This DVD set is for tried and true Lord of the Rings fans only. Peter Jackson's film adaptation of this classic fantasy story is the best book-to-movie conversion in a long while. The acting is top-notch, the special effects are remarkable, and the story is as close to the original as is possible on the big screen. While the new scenes found only on this set did not add very much to the movie itself, the documentary discs certainly did. In the two full discs of additional information, the cast and crew walk viewers through every detail of the movie-making process. There is more information available here than anyone probably ever needed, but it is put together in such an entertaining fashion that you will want to watch every moment over and over. In short, if you're just looking for a good movie to watch with family or friends, buy the regular DVD. If on the other hand, you are looking for the full Tolkien experience, The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Extended Edition) is a must-have.
Rating: Summary: One of the best! Review: This DVD set is truly massive! After watching the extra half hour of footage, you will wonder how they ever did without it! The "making of" discs are extremely in-depth and informative and gives you an entirely new perspective and appreciation for the effort and talent that went into creating this masterpiece. Bottom Line: The new footage plus the huge amount of extras makes this a DVD fit for a movie of this caliber.
