DVD Review: LORD OF THE RINGS
Summary: 2 Stars
was pleased but one of the discs was severely scratched to where I missed quite a bit of the movie, one out of four not bad.DVD Review: Awesome Flick
Summary: 5 Stars
What can you say this is one of the greatest films of all time, and the extended version makes you never want to watch the original. Daughter is totally obsessed, she is now reading the books. If you love the original you have to get this version.DVD Review: LOTR Platinum Box Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This box is a great release, not only adding 2 hours to the entire trilogy (30 mins. for FoTR, 40 for TT, 50 for RoTK) but also a huge bonus content.
Let`s talk about the extended cuts. I`ve watched LOTR 3 times before getting this box and i was stunned when sometimes i didn`t recognise the movie. The added scenes are very important in character development as well as for tying plot knots. Each movie is divided into 2 discs, so changing the dvd at the middle of the run is necesary.
As for the remaining 6 discs, they are filled with goodies. You will see how elaborate the process behing the trilogy has been. Everything will be discussed, from pre-production to the department behind the weapons and armor you see in the movies.
If you enjoyed LOTR you will be amazed how magnificent the uncut film looks like. Untill the ultimate edition is on sale, i recommend this with all my heart.

Description of The Lord of the Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)
This critically acclaimed epic trilogy follows the quest undertaken by the hobbit Frodo Baggins and his fellowship of companions to save Middle-earth by destroying the One Ring and defeating the evil forces of the Dark Lord Sauron. With new and extended scenes carefully added back into the film the 12-disc set also includes hours of bonus features.Running Time: 785 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?SCI-FI/FANTASY UPC:?794043734724The 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 11 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
