DVD Reviews of The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Widescreen Edition)DVD Review: Great condition & timely arrival. Summary: 4 StarsProduct did not arrive as originally advertized, but upon notification, seller sent the rest of the product. Everything came quickly and in a very good condition. Would purchase from seller again.
DVD Review: Magnificent! Summary: 5 StarsI saw the film several years ago when it came out in theaters, and was blown away by what Mr. Jackson had wrought. Now that I have viewed the extended edition of the film, I am even more impressed and pleased. Mr. Jackson obviously loves Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, and he has provided a beautiful cinematic experience for the enjoyment of Rings fans. I recently finished re-reading The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and broke this out to extend the experience. This also gave me a chance to compare the film to the books. Although some things puzzled me (like Aragorn's brief disappearance, or the decision to make the elves join the fight at Helms Deep), and some things I missed (like the barrow-wrights), I don't have the slightest quibble with Mr. Jackson's work. I expect I will view this film again and again.
DVD Review: A PRECIOUS EDITION Summary: 4 StarsAfter countless years of animated adaptions and audio books,one of the greatet works of literature came barreling into movie theatres around the world with blades in both hands.The Lord of the Rings was a motion picture trilogy based on the classic Novels of the same name written by J.R.Tolkien.The movie stays true to it's literary counterpart,with very few liberties being taken by the director in terms of character development and plot.The action is extremely plentiful and very well choreographed.The audio is top-notch and the cinematography and numerous CGI effects are nothing short of breathtaking.The movie was cast quite well,with almost no moments of overacting or upstaging by any of the cast members.This Extended Version of the film provides nearly 45 minutes of extra footage not seen in the theatrical release.However,what makes this extended version different from other extended fims is that there are no new scenes that hinder the flow of the movie.Every new scene only enhances the overall storyline.Though this film is still astounding in any version,to see this Extended Edition is like watching another movie entirely.
DVD Review: Lord Of The Rings-The Fellowship Of The Rings Summary: 2 StarsI was disappointed with my purchase. The DVD skipped in quite a few places, even though it was marked as in good condition. It was my first time buying anything online and I probably won't do it again anytime soon.
BUMMER!!!!
DVD Review: First, And Still The Best Of LOTR Summary: 5 StarsHere is one film that lived up to its hype, and by the time I saw it after it had arrived at the video stores, I had heard and read a ton of things about it, and seen all the awards it had received, and expected a lot. To my surprise, it did not disappoint.
Now, years later after having watched all three of these "Rings" films mulitple times each, I still think this first movie of the trilogy is the best, and the version to have is the DVD Extended Version. It is a truly spectacular adventure story all the way through, probably the best ever put to film. The sequels were good, to be sure, but this first had a better mixture of the story. The second and third movies were almost entirely Frodo and his allies' long journey, but the first half of this movie also gives a good bit of interesting introductory material including a number of scenes at the Shire, before the long adventure starts.
Anyway, "Fellowship," stunned me for the visuals alone. I can't recall any film that has so many jaw-dropping scenes, one after the other, for three straight hours. Some are beyond description, and I don't care if they are computer- generated. So what? The fact is they are awesome to view, both in beauty and in staggering action scenes that feature incredible-looking monsters and other mythical characters.
The story covers all kinds of terrain, too, from the lush Shire of the Hobbits, to the harsh neighboring landscapes. Each couple of minutes, as in the two movies that followed, scenes radically change from calmness to action, adventure to romance, sweet lovable characters to hideous monsters, on and on and on. It's an incredible movie experience.

As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure. Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers (2002). --Jeff Shannon
