'As an audience, you really have to appreciate the advent of electronic special fx over the clay-mation productions of years before. Seems irrelevant to some, but to true devotees of sci-fi and fantasy, the awkward infantilisms of the clay-mation cult had been the only answer. The result, real adult-scaled fantasy. Seamless illusions, multi-dimesnional imagery and compounded hyperbole are the aftermath of the years of over-stretched imagination; but that's what audiences were waiting for. Technically, on the bleeding edge of sfx cinematography, there are still some lumpy spots that could be improved. The beginning of this fantasy epic triptych seems mechanical and trite when compared to what transpires. So why not endear the sanguinities of The Hobbits to the audience, even though they are most likely anticipating the next dimensions and beyond? The shire certainly seems to be cozy enough. Yet, the narrative grinds relentlessly along to the implausible and nearly contrived conclusion. There could be no beginning if not for the next two sequels. So that the technical wizardry that has so precariously been a balance up until then, evaporates with the lack of supportive writing. Better directing of that concluding image of the two Hobbits and the immense expanses of Lower Earth could have saved the initial part of the trilogy. Instead, the feeling returns that some of those zealouasly juvenile Orks were a tad too reminiscent of their clay-mation ancestors and had migrated over from some X-box or Nintendo.'Read full review

This is not a review for any sellers, sales or for ebay..it's a review for all three Ring movies..I admit it, at first I wasn't too happy about watching them, I really hate long drawn out movies..and this set is well over 9 hours long..my Partner knowing how much I enjoyed the Harry Potter movies talked me into giving this series a try..am I ever glad she did..I grew to love each and every character..I especially loved Orlando Blooms Character..I also loved the Wizard I am really bad with names...these movies made me laugh, made me cry, made me gasp with amazement..a true treat for Children of all ages...I highly recommend all three movies..like Pringles chips one is not enough!
Lord of the Rings in BluRay HD is a must-have. The plot, the fighting, the action, the scenes, sounds, acting, the special effects is so well synchronized and directed by Peter Jackson in his pursuit for excellence in cinematography in an almost impossible to execute filming. By the way Jackson achievement was the propulsor of many long filmed series such as Narnia and Harry Potter. Jackson achieved what George Lucas could not; impulsing Directors for multiple films on long stories like these in question. All 3 movies are simply a feast to the eye in all senses. You can enjoy them every time you watch it. Highly recommended! Simply Superb!
I normally don't go for these types of films, however after hearing so many great things I had to see it. Simply fantastic! Fantastic story line & easy to follow. The trilogy set has so many extra worth watching features such as how certain things were filmed, removed scenes, etc. I would say this ranks up there with the "Force" films from the late 70's to early 80's.
this is one of the best movie trilogy i have ever seen.it is better than the originals that was cut and shown in theaters.this set goes into more details and shows more scenes of the movie and gives you a better understanding of whats taking place.gives a little more understanding of each characters personality.this is my favorite movie of all times.i would recommend this series/trilogy to anyone who likes the lord of the rings.
So much better full screen, better color and has scenes that were not in the wide screen version. Ray

The movies are epic, and having all three in one is even better. The only thing better tan the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, is the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition Trilogy! I bought this item as a Christmas gift for my boss, because he hadn't seen the movie and I felt obligated to share the awesomeness. If you've never seen Lord of the Rings, you should, and if you have seen it, and don't own it, you should buy it. It is an epic film that won't ever be surpassed.
Have no idea why I waited so long to enjoy the exciting trilogy.
