Summary: THE PERFECT MOVIE
Review: I loved the film in the theater, but this is the best format. It has it all, with the exception of Tom (sigh)". The images are wonderful. I feel like I am with old friends each time I view it. I am very impressed. Why Jackson did not win Best Director is anyone's guess. LOTR is truly one of the greatest films ever made. The film stays true to the books in spirit and in flavor. I can not say enough good about this movie...but READ THE BOOKS too if you haven't. They are wonderous.

Summary: Be Careful of the Included Software
Review: To access certain so-called exclusive content on the Internet, one has to install the included InterActual player software, which isn't really a DVD player but sort of a "skin" and additional functionality of linking you to web sites.I had it installed and face quite a number of problems. One problem is that my Stargate Ultimate Edition doesn't work properly anymore. It MUST use the InterActual player in order to play the movie from the main menu, cannot be done using the PowerDVD player alone anymore. Even uninstalling InterActual player did not solve the problem. Other problems are system hang (blue screen), error message like "XXXXXXX caused a General Protection Fault" and it also screwed up some other software. This InterActual player is a real nightmare! I am totally disgusted with it and deeply disappointed that such a buggy software should be included to access "exclusive" content. I would advise others to buy the DVD for the sake of the extra 30 min and do not try the InterActual player (some of your other DVDs may not work properly after that) unless you are ready to take on it as a gamble. Don't say I didn't warn you. I am still TOTALLY [ticked]OFF.

Summary: The best film in the History of Cinema period!
Review: If you havent seen Lord of the Rings yet, you are missing out on THE MASTERPIECE to beat all materpieces. I myself had doubts about this superb cast and how they could all act togeather, but after I watched it for the first time, I was COMPLETLY hooked. Superb acting by every person in this film. Unbeleavable story that has been brought to the film thanks to director Peter Jackson, who has brought the greatest book of all time and actuly made it the best book and film of all time. This movie had EVERYTHING. Acting, fights, story, love story, and villins. This movie has (in my opinion) surpassed the New Star Wars movies and will become the greatest trilogy of our generation. A MUST MUST MUST have dvd. DO NOT HESITATE TO BUY, this is truly one of the greatest dvds in the world. BUY IT.

Summary: Incredible, Tolkien Would Be Pleased
Review: As a fantasy reader, I've read The Lord of the Rings trilogy twice, and it is by far the best fantasy I have ever read. When I discovered they were making a movie out of it, a true-to-life live-action movie... I was excited, but also a bit wary. See, I didn't know of any of Peter Jackson's earlier work, and so I had no idea what to expect (I did learn that he directed The Frighteners and Dead/Alive later on, both of which I'm a fan of, but to any who know those films...this is a whole different animal we're talking about in this film). I was pleasantly blown straight out of my seat upon seeing it in theatres. I didn't have a single gripe about it, because, in essence, it was perfect. Or so I thought. Then, on Christmas day, I laid my eyes upon...the Extended Addition! *cue hallelujahs right now* And I was surprised that, by God, the movie got better! Now, one movie over two DVD's seems quite a bit, but the whole trip is well worth it. The added scenes are integrated perfectly and the extra time diminishes the film in no way. Though, I would have loved to see anything involving Tom Bombadil, who is in my opinion one of the coolest characters ever...why, I don't know, but he's not necessary to this film. The battles are amazing, the acting is mind-blowingly good, and the sets, effects, costumes, go above and beyond any expectations. The attention to detail is mind-boggling and lovingly done. So, I recommend this not to just fans of the books, but to anyone who loves a damn good movie. Come on, I know you guys are out there! And if you don't think you can stand going through 3+ hours, just give it a try, you'll still love it. And if you don't, I will hunt you down and bash you like an enraged Uruk-Hai!

Summary: Hard To Detail To All
Review: Hmm, This is a hard one. You see, this movie is awesome. This set, well is a little more difficult to describe. It has the movie with about 30 minutes worth of extra footage, however, it has little else that appeals to all viewers. Beyond the movie, which spans across two discs, and two added bonuses including the MTV movie awards gag on the Council of Elrond, all thats left is about 8 hours worth of commentary and behind the scenes work. Now, I had never watched the type of supplementary material. This was a first, but definitely not the last. I awtched all 8 hours with the greatest interest. now not all could be able to do this. However, it is definitely worth a look. So, I say to you, that if you don't like supplementary material, don't buy this. If you do, or never have tried it, pick this up. It will be a treat.

Summary: Why was this on cable?
Review: I absolutely love this dvd and i would have recommended it to anyone. But wasn't this extended edition out because it contained scenes that were not shown in theatres and this was the only way we would see them, and this is how fans would be able to see it, by buying this SPECIAL Extended DVD Edition. So why was this shown on the Starz channel. It was surprising to see that on and i must say a little disappointing. I mean we bought it because it was SPECIAL, not the ordinary movie on dvd. Well, that is just my view and the view of my friends who bought it from Amazon.com Otherwise, it's very enjoyable and it's suitable for anyone with an imagination.

Summary: A Supreme Cinematic and DVD Masterpiece
Review: When FOTR was released, no one thought it would be as good as it is, including myself. But the surprise that greeted me and I suspect, many others, was a fantastical and magical delight that will reverberate for ages. Star Wars and Spielberg got movie goers veered from the 60s epics like Lawrence of Arabia into entertainment blockbusters that has seen been the cornerstone of Hollywood commercialism for years. While Star Wars and the Indy films deserve their place in moviedom, I will never place them in the same league as literally and intellectually more challenged films like Lawerence. Hence, the adaptation of LOTR must seem daunting, not least, almost impossible to surmount. Yet, Peter Jackson has created nothing short of a masterpiece. This is, bar none, the best adaptation cinema has ever achieved. Why? Simply, from the first frame until the last, every moment is pure cinema magic. Great casting, superb performances and a well delivered script is just the beginning. The technical merits are almost singularly supreme. The Howard Shore score, the Andrew Lesnie cinematography and the wonderful production design by Grant Major ... one word. Brilliant! But it is not just the various elements of this film that is excellent, but the sum of it all, seamlessly integrated by Jackson, carefully crafted and a labour of love by all involved that makes this film transcends all fantasy movies that comes before. And perhaps, after. Not just this, the DVDs supplied by New Line is another remarkable accomplishment. The simpler 2-set version is far more luxurious than most other titles' 'deluxe' editions. And then, there is the Special Extended Edition (SEE). Everything a DVD lover could ask for, the SEE delivers, and more. Best video transfer ever, and the best soundtracks in both DTS ES and Dolby EX are supplied over 2 discs just for the film, with 4 commentaries. That's both quality and quantity, in ample supply. Then, there is the Appendices, the most comprehensive making of supplements we will ever see for one film, until films 2 and 3 that is. If you thought T2:Ultimate Edition was film school on a disc, then this surely must be the Princeton or Oxford for DVD supplements and special editions. So much to gather from, from the background to the filming to post-production, there is so much to go through, yet not a single moment is boring. The DVD set has just taken the best and most innovative elements of DVD evolution over the last few years and fused them into one set, dedicated to one film, and a masterpiece of a film. Forget the Pearl Harbor 4-disc set, this is the one to go for, and will set the bar so high, it will be difficult for others to follow. Long after you have gone through the entire 4 discs, you will come back, again and again ... just to relive the film and the making of it. This is film making at its best, and DVD at its pinnacle. Supreme.
