The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition Collector's Gift Set) Customer Reviews (7 - 9 of 102 Reviews)

If you don't mind the butt numbing length ...
then this is a GREAT movie. A wonderful adaptation of the original book with beautiful vision and cinemetography. This movie gets the whole trilogy rolling. If you're a lover of this then I highly recommend the extended edition over the cinema release where the extra footage is significant and well done. In my opinion it was only cut because they couldn't put a movie this long in theaters!

The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring (Platinum Series Special Extended Edition)
Well worth the purchase price!!! This special edition adds so much more to the original theatrical release. A must have for all Lord Of the Ring fans. Highly recommended!

A deeper better Lord of the Rings
Between the fascinating making of, where the magic is demystified, and the added scenes that brings the faithful rendering even closer to the spirit of JRR Tolkien, this was the best purchase I have made in years. I asked for the three platinum edition LOR box sets for Christmas, when I did not get them I bought them myself (in a fit of uncharecteristic indulgence).
In taking the production apart in the making discs, I was given a new respect and deeper awe of how the films were crafted from conception to cutting room. The ingenuity of P Jackson and his team astounded me. In Fellowship, you must see how the troll scene was planned out(it was completely digitized, and put in a 3d simulation, so Peter Jackson could walk around an empty room, with virtual reality goggles on, and see and plan the camera angles -wild). I was enchanted all over again.
If you are wondering what Lord of the Rings DVD to Purchase the extended version is superior to the theater version. I would let you borrow mine, to convince you, but I do not want to part with it; it is precious to me.
