About this product

Product Information

Peter Jackson's epic trilogy is fully told here, with the theatrical versions of all three LORD OF THE RINGS films included. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades set out to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged. Included in the group are Frodo and hobbits Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monoghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen); human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies); the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Along the way, they wage battle with monsters, demons, and Sauron's evil minions, all brought to life by spectacular digital technology.LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS: Picking up where the first film left off, Peter Jackson's THE TWO TOWERS throws the remaining members of the Fellowship into the scattered chaos of Middle-earth, now fully under siege by the forces of Sauron. While Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to the dreaded Mordor, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) are held captive by orcs, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) search for their abducted companions. Soon Frodo and Sam are joined by the sulking and duplicitous Gollum (portrayed by the voice and motion-captured acting of Andy Serkis), who becomes their guide through the barren lands leading to Mount Doom. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin encounter the looming Treebeard (voiced by Rhys-Davies) and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find themselves in the land of Rohan, accompanied by an old friend. As the tale continues, each scenario becomes more perilous, and fierce battles erupt at both Isengard, home of the treacherous Saruman (Christopher Lee), and the massive Helm's Deep.LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING: THE RETURN OF THE KING, the third and final film in Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, finds Middle-earth on the cusp of great change. Weary hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) venture further into the dark realm of Mordor, guided by the increasingly desperate Gollum (Andy Serkis), the two-faced former owner of the Ring that Frodo must destroy in the fires of Mount Doom. Meanwhile Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) contend with the deranged ruler Denethor (John Noble) at the once-mighty city of Minas Tirith, as Merry (Dominic Monaghan) joins Éowyn (Miranda Otto) and the Riders of Rohan to hold back the forces of Sauron. Amidst the chaos, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) must rise to his destiny, aided by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) in assembling allies for a massive battle that will decide the fate of Middle-earth.

    Wondrously creative and spellbinding.

    An epic series that I will no doubt enjoy for years to come. I highly recommend to those of adventurous spirit. You will not be dissapointed. It has caused me to no only find other Tolkien DVD's but his writings as well. I find his writings not only creatively written but wondrously appealing. For one who has never held an interest in reading novels, I am now an avid fan of his writings.

    they looked good, but the first one did not even get started and it would not play, the second one would not even play at all. The third one was the only good movie in the set. very disappointed.

    The Two Towers plays only half way through and then freezes. Tried cleaning the disk and still no go. Tried skipping past by about 15 minutes. Still frozen. Have to assume the entire last half of the disk is no good. My idea of very good condition is that it plays but may have scratches or other signs of use. It should play. Haven't had a chance to look at the Return of the King yet. Fellowship was fine.

  • An iconic drama!

    This trilogy of movies cover the entire "Lord of the Rings" story, but each movie is a stand alone story. That being said, it certainly is more entertaining to binge watch all three in short order. That makes it easier to keep the characters straight and the story lines make more sense. The story is pretty complex and at times a bit difficult to follow, but even during the parts where I got confused, it all made sense in the end. The CGI work is awesome, and the scenery from New Zealand and Australia was magnificent. Some may think the scenery can't be real, but I just returned from a trip to Australia and New Zealand and can attest to the fact that those places really do exist. The music, scenery, characters, CGI, acting and story all combine to make this a wonderful movie set to own.

  • Overall good, but could be better in one aspect.

    While the collection is good and operational, the second disc didn't work.

  • Perfect working order

    Everything came in perfect shape. Now I need to consider whether to buy the extended version. I should have thought of that sooner.

  • Classic series!

    I loved this movie when I was kid (shame on my parents that I watched it that young). And I loved it so much, I had to go and buy the series again after not knowing what happened to our original series. It's really good series of movies and I'm not saying don't let your kids watch it, but be aware that people, orcs, and other wild creatures die in a violent manner.
