Product reviewsThe Lord Of The Rings Trilogy (DVD, 2005, 6-Disc Set, Box Set)

A great set of DVDs, great value for money, fantastic story.

A great set of DVDs that breaks at the end of each one at the appropriate moment leading to the next one. The quality of the DVDs is great. I bought them because I love the story, have read the books many times over the past 20 years, and was delighted when the decided to produce the film. It is a shame that some of the book content was omitted, because I consider certain things vital to the story, but if you want to know what you've missed read the books! The film was brilliantly produced given what they had to omit, and the cast excellent. I watch it often.Read full review...

It's Lord of the Rings - it's great!

I think I've said it all in the title of this review. I love The Lord of the Rings. For those who haven't seen the films or read the books, The Lord of the Rings is an epic fantasy adventure in which a band of hobbits, elves, dwarves wizards and men must destroy an evil magic ring (by throwing it into Mount Doom, a huge volcano) to stop it falling into the hands of its master, the Dark Lord Sauron. This quest takes them accross Middle Earth where they encounter Orcs, Wolf-riders, Horse-masters and Tree-Men (amongst other things!)

The cinematic cut is great to get you into the films, because they aren't too long (and if you think they are you should try sitting through all four hours - and two discs - of the extended edition of The Return of the King!), they are full of swords, sorcery, amazing landscapes and fantastical creatures, and I think they are a must for all fans of fantasy or adventure films.Read full review...

A trio of outstanding and beautiful films.

Three amazing films that well portray the British based stories of the late, great J. R. R. Tolkien. Contrary to what our friends from New Zealand may claim, The Lord Of The Rings and The Hobbit are NOT based in their country, the films were only filmed there. That said, the scenery selected for these films is truly stunning.
The cinematography is outstanding, as is the acting (for the most part). The effect, costumes and special effects are second to none and deserve the highest praise.
The films progress at a pleasing pace, never too slow and rarely too fast, especially for those of us who enjoy reading the books. They cover all of the salient points of the books without missing too much. Being fair, if they had stuck to the ENTIRE contents of each book, you would be looking at a 10-hour long film for each one!Read full review...

Lord of the rings a must if you have'nt been there.

I bought the trilogy so that we could watch all three together because they do lead into one another. There is nothing really that i disliked about all three films except that they had to come to an end. The characters were really good and played really well. A credit to then people choosing actors to suit the role. Am not a movie buff and don't know all the proper jargon. Don't care about continuity errors unless they are so apparent you can't miss them. Would recommend these films to anyone who is into fantasy, make believe.Read full review...

A Tolkien trilogy of films well worth watching.

I had read the books, many years ago, but never seen the films. My granddaughter said I should watch the trilogy, as I would find them truly entertaining. She was right. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the films and despite their antiquity, (2005 for the 3rd one) they were impressive. Well worth watching.Read full review...

Lord of the the Rings

Brilliant films, totally understand why people say they’re epic. The production of the films is fantastic, and still so good considering they were made 20 years ago! The acting is amazing, and I loved the trilogy, it has everything, friendship, suspense, love, courage. Read full review...
