Summary: Great movie!
Review: I have had enough of the old cliche,"Oh what a disappointment the movie was, the book was way better!". Look, if you want to read a good book--read The Lord of the Rings. If you want to see a good movie--see the The Lord of the Rings. Both should be judged independantly from each other and one should never attempt to determine if the movie version (of ANY story) is as good as the book version. Really, how could any mere million or billion dollar movie ever compare with the flow of one's imagination when reading a great work?
The movie was good. The special effects were great and fun to watch. And the story is good, of course. Do not let these nose in the air, too sophisticated for Hollywood magic boo-sayers sway you from seeing a good flick, because on a scale of one small popcorn bag to one large bag of buttery popcorn--I give this movie an extra large bag of popcorn with extra butter (and a free large coke) rating! Plus I am glad that there is a good trilogy to make up for the disappointment of the new Star Wars movies. Anyway, that's a diffrent review.
Again, the movie was good--the dvd is okay. I am not sure why this dvd version required two discs--some of the documentaries it contains is repetitive. On disc-1, when you select the special features option, instructions inform you to insert disc-2 for special features. I find that rather silly. Also, I have tried to watch the doumentaries, but I keep falling asleep on them...what does that say?

Review: When it comes to collecting DVDs, one I would say a great edition would be this Special Extended DVD. There are many reasons to own this set. Firstly, if you have watch it in the cinemas and you feel there is something missing, this is the one for you. It has everything that makes the flow of the movie smooth. Don't expect it to be just like the book. Besides, movie is movie, book is book.The documentaries are more than 11 hours of watching, everything that you want to know about the production of the movie is here. There are over 2,000 gallery stills altogether and best part of all, this special DVD is shape like a book. For collectors who love LOTR movie.

Review: No matter what people say about it; there are those that think both films are too different from the books or they are simply too long etc, it is not in any way a 1 or 2 or 3 star film. Regardless of your view they are great films, notice how the only whiners are people entirely ignorant of the book or entirely (religiously) devoted to it. To any other movie-goer all are great. Having said that, after watching them Ive read the books and they are better for it, none who watch the films should ignore the books for they at the very least improve the movies and at the most are superior to them. As the director himself would admit, myself knowing his other films well, he could never please everyone when turning such great books into film, but hes pleased me, end of story. Indeed without the films I may never have read L O T Rings, and that would be a shame. Even so, I do beleive they will be films best seen as a whole on DVD colection than 3 hours at the cinema, not least because of the extended versions.

Summary: This is NOT Another LOTR Reveiw. How to See Something Funny:
Review: P>STEP ONE: THE TWO TOWERS TRAILER: Put in disc 2 of the actual movie. Now, go to the Select-a-Scene menu. Navigate down to the last section, which is the fanclub credits. Still with me? Good. Now pay attention to this last bit: Use the arrow keys to select the menu navigator on the right side of the screen. Great! now, press the down button until the symbol of two towers apears under the menu. Kewl, huh? Great, now just hit ENTER and enjoy a fantastic Two Towers Trailer. STEP TWO: The OTHER Council of Elrond WARNING: This Easter Egg, although side-splittingly hilarious, contains extremely innapropriate references. It is rated PG-13 in and of itself, although it doesn't exactly show anything unsuitable for young impressionable minds, it certainly has some controversial dialouge. Okay, brace yourself. This is an extremely funny alternate version of the council of Elrond. Simply put in disc one of the movie, go to Select-a-scene, and then just keep going down the list until you get to the very last menu. Go down one more notch. A little ring will apear on the bottom of the screen. Press ENTER, and get ready to spray whatever your drinking nasally all over the place. Seriously, this is so funny, I choked on a pretzel and almost DIED I was laughing so hard. Even my mom and dad laughed until they were sobbing, and beleive me, this is not tasteful adult humour by anyone's standards. I'm laughing so hard right now just thinking about it I can barely type correctly. Man, I gotta go watch it again. After all that fantastic LOTR stuff, which I LOVE by the way, this just catches you off-guard. I nicknamed it The OTHER Council of Elrond, or The Ring and The Thing. And for all of you who don't like this movie, I'm saving your reviews to Microsoft Word, they entertain me so much.

Summary: A DVD worthy of a film worthy of the book
Review: The novel is unique and has a rare and wonderous brilliance. The film captured it as well as time and the medium of film could allow. True, there were changes and characters and events lost, but one only has to reread the novel to understand why. Now this extended edition does what only more screen time could make possible: make the film even more enjoyable, vivid and three-dimensional. Once you see this longer version, it is impossible to imagine the film without the seamlessly added additional scenes. But more than that, the creatively and lovingly crafted additional material makes the 3rd and 4th discs almost as fascinating as the movie. Far beyond mere 'making of' documentary material, these discs are a primer on filmmaking as an art and craft. Don't miss them.

Summary: BORING
Review: This film, and it's sequel, were a nice reminder never to beleive any hype in the media when it comes to movies, no matter how pompous. This film is was mass-comsumption, like a Big Mac. The characters were so simple and undeveloped, that the film quickly becomes boringly, annoyingly predictable, no matter what fight, fantasy 'people', or any other situation turns up.
