EXTENDED Versions of the TRILOGY Are More Fullfilling!
This Trilogy represents the theatrical CUTS of the trilogy. I emphasize 'cuts' because the Extended Director's versions are superior and more fullfilling than the theatrical cuts. After watching both versions, I could not imagine purchasing only the theatrical cuts of this wonderful trilogy.
While there is no question all three movies were excellent, the extended versions tell the story better, develop the characters better, and just add so much more detail to the story. The extended versions are actually how the director wanted to release the film in the first place, however, commercial theaters simply can't handle 4 hour movies.
I'm not even buying the Return of the King theatrical edition. I enjoyed seeing it in the theaters, but the next time I see it, I want it to be as fresh and new as possible. I won't give into temptation and will be waiting for the extended version of Return of the King. It will make the extended version of Return of the King that much more enjoyable!
Superb!
When a movie comes along that is true to it's orignal book form, has an excelent cast, great screen writers, is moving, and visually stunning, how can you not give it 5 stars? You won't be disappointed if you pick up this box set of all 3 movies.
Now granted it does have one drawback: While wonderful in their own right the theatrical versions just do not stand up to their extended version counterparts. But just basing my rating off how good the quality of the box set is; well you can't go wrong with this one.
5 Stars! And if you like these versions you HAVE to pick up the extened versions as well.
Great Movies in not such a great package.
This is a review of the DVD package not of the actual movies. Unlike other die hard fans arguing the relation between the book and film. The DVD should be reviewed as just that a Dvd compilation. The extras and sound are top par as always, with no signs of Video flaws. The 5.1 Sound will have you shaking in your seats. But I do tend to agree with others when they say to wait. I feel like there will be another Trilogy coming out soon maybe with a leather case and better looking so it can be a better collectors item. As for the extended version that is a totally different animal from the Theatrical cut. This compilation is near perfect. If you loved the theatrical release this is for you but if your a die hard fan of the books you most likely are not going to buy this anyways.
