Definitely worth the price!

Absolutely love LOTR and to have the extended versions makes it even better! Wasn't sure it it was worth buying the extended dvds but honestly it's worth it, I didn't expect there to be anywhere near as much additional content as I thought but I was wrong, there's an absolute ton of additional scenes that don't change the story in any way shape or form but still makes an amazing franchise like this just even better!Read full review

Read the book, it is much better

Visualisation by DVD has been used, In my view mis-used, to show far too much fighting whereas the book has a much wider scope and is very much more interesting as a result. A pity in some ways because some visualisation, such as of wargs, have been given visible form to good effect.Read full review

A must have for Tolkien fans.

Excellent box set, especially the extended edition with directors shots etc. If you're not a Tolkein fan yet, try it, you may be pleasantly surprised. Plenty of action, believable characters well cast. My 18 year old granddaughter and I sat riveted through all dvds. An epic few days!Read full review

Great entertainment, wonderful story

Anyone who loves the story of The Lord of the Rings will love this extended film version yes I know some of the characters from the book have been left out but as a film people who have not read the book maybe encouraged to do so. The extended version explains things that the cinema film did not so the extra footage enhances the film. Each film is over 2 DVDs which is good as they are a long haul so with the break you can make yourself a cup of tea ! The clarity and sharpness of the picture and the sound quality on each DVD is very good. Each set came with 2 DVDs of information on the making of the films, which I didn't know but haven't played yet.Read full review

A masterful interpretation of Tolkien's greatest work.

I'm sure that, since their release, the three Lord of The Rings films have been discussed to death!
I have to say, though, that, having read the books twice, years before, the shortened versions that were shown on the cinemas missed out some vital scenes that anyone who had NOT read the books would have struggled to understand how the characters got to where they did in the films, without the benefit of seeing the deleted scenes.
This 'extended' (or more complete) version enables the audience to follow this rather complex tale far more easily than they would have been able to otherwise.
I rate this trilogy as one of the best 3-part films ever made - and would say that, to get the storyline properly, you MUST watch this COMPLETE edition!

Great adventure/action movie

Great film based on a great book by a great author. Great is sometimes an overworked adjective, but is exactly right when describing this film.

The road goes ever on and on

Bought to replace a set that I wore out. Mint condition discs and boxes. As great as they ever were. Amazing value also.

A must for every LOTR fan

I don't know why it took me almost two decades after the movie trilogy to get this box set but I'm glad I did. The artwork of the DVD covers and the DVD menus is superb. The quality of the interview footage is a bit dated but this is a must-have for all LOTR fans.Read full review

Not bad

I am quite happy with this, however, as the product is advertised as "like new", I expected it to arrive in a better condition. The box holding all the DVDs was damaged on the corners and on the base of the box. Also, only one of the three dvds were still sealed, and the guide that comes with each dvd was missing in the Two Towers box. Apart from these small details, I am still happy with the order, and am looking forward to watching the extended editions of these movies.Read full review
