The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Edition Box Set)

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.

Quite simply the finest trilogy ever released on film. Peter Jackson brings alive J.R.R.Tolkien's work to the screen like never thought imaginable! An excellent cast deliver superb performances, aided by incredible special effects and jaw dropping scenery.These 3 films really are the ultimate movie experience for both young and old to enjoy time and time again.Prepare to sit back and enjoy what is without doubt the greatest movie box set of all time!

You've watched James Bond, then X-men, and then you just don't know what to pick next. Pick Lord of the Rings by order, you will love them.

True, there are some differences between the novel and the movie, but you can hardly recognize those differences because you are dragged straight into the movie after the first scene.

Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Sean Bean and Christopher Lee are excellent actors. (the worlds best!!!)

The acting was outstanding and I am amazed with Peter Jackson. He is ten times better than any director.

Have you been into depth with Stephen Sommers or Agneizka Holland? They are fantstic directors, but Mr Jackson is the best.

Mr Jackson, what have you given us? Watch the movie to find out. 9/10
