The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition, DVD) ... / DVD released 10 December, 2004 at Entertainment in Video / Features of the DVD: PAL, Subtitled, Widescreen / The extended editions of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings present the greatest trilogy in film history in the most ambitious sets in DVD history. In bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's nearly unfilmable work to the screen, Jackson benefited from extraordinary special effects, evocative New Zealand locales, and an exceptionally well-chosen cast, but most of all from his own adaptation with co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, preserving Tolkien's vision and often his very words, but also making logical changes to accommodate the medium of film. While purists complained about these changes and about characters and scenes left out of the films, the almost two additional hours of material in the extended editions (about 11 hours total) help appease them by delving more deeply into Tolkien's music, the characters, and loose ends that enrich the story, such as an explanation of the Faramir-Denethor relationship, and the appearance of the Mouth of Sauron at the gates of Mordor. In addition, the extended editions offer more bridge material between the films, further confirming that the trilogy is really one long film presented in three pieces (which is why it's the greatest trilogy ever--there's no weak link). The scene of Galadriel's gifts to the Fellowship added to the first film proves significant over the course of the story, while the new Faramir scene at the end of the second film helps set up the third and the new Saruman scene at the beginning of the third film helps conclude the plot of the second. To top it all off, the extended editions offer four discs per film: two for the longer movie, plus four commentary tracks and stupendous DTS 6.1 ES sound; and two for the bonus material, which covers just about everything from script creation to special effects. The argument was that fans would need both versions because the bonus material is completely different, but the features on the theatrical releases are so vastly inferior that the only reason a fan would need them would be if they wanted to watch the shorter versions they saw in theaters (the last of which, The Return of the King, merely won 12 Oscars). The LOTR extended editions without exception have set the DVD standard by providing a richer film experience that pulls the three films together and further embraces Tolkien's world, a reference-quality home theater experience, and generous, intelligent, and engrossing bonus features. --David Horiuchi

For those of you out there who have spent the last ten years holed up in a cave without any contact with the outside world then you probably don't know that Tolkien's mammoth book was eventually turned into three mammoth movies.  The rest of us are split into two groups - those that probably want the film shown at their funeral and those that want it burned/buried instead of them at their funeral. The box-set contains all three pieces that make up the Lord of the Rings trilogy - The Fellowship of the Ring The Two Towers The Return of the King Anyway, let's get the preliminaries out of the way.....Middle Earth is suffering under ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition, DVD): MAGICAL MAYHAM IN MIDDLE EARTH....... (2237 words)

Rating:

Now it may surprise you to learn that I was not actually over eager to go and see this film, it was only after my mother managed to persuade me to go with her that I decided to give it a go. The Lord Of The Rings has been hailed as the best thing since sliced bread and once such a precedent is set, I often find that you are disappointed that the film does not match up to expectations, however on this occasion I was proved more than wrong. Most people have read the Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien, myself included many years ago, so you will all be no doubt familiar with most of the story, for those who are not here is the brief outline. ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Lordy, get it over with already! (1353 words)
by - written on 04/11/06 (Very useful, 160 readings)
Rating:

This trilogy of movies is the story of a very dangerous magical ring that must be destroyed and the trials that one person must go through in order to destroy it, since evil forces would do anything to have that ring, and the world is in danger because of those evil forces. Yes, this is the essence of these three movies - there's not really a hell of a lot more here. What's more it took a whole three two-hour plus films to do it! Heavens! Okay, so I'm probably at a disadvantage here since I have the painful memory of trying to read the book and failing miserably. However, it has often been proven to me that a book that one doesn't enjoy can be turned ...  Read the complete review

I'm definitely sure that this film "LORD OF THE RINGS TRILOGY " have been reviewed many times. But I would still like to share my experience with this brilliant film by Peter Jackson. Everything about this film is perfect! I would suggest you to sit tight and don't let anyone disturb you while watching it, you will definitely miss something important if you did. Actually it happened to me so i just warn you! Don't make the same mistake as i did. Luckily i have the DVD set and i can watch it anytime i want to. Anyways here are some briefing on what to expect. The Lord of the Rings film trilogy consists of three live action fantasy epic films: The ...  Read the complete review
