The Lord Of The Rings - The Motion Picture Trilogy (Widescreen Edition) Customer Reviews (25 - 27 of 42 Reviews)
Amazing movie, why would you only want 60% of it
OK... this is, in my opinion, one of the truly great SF/Fantasy movies ever made. The cinematography is amazing, every shot means something. So WHY would you ever want to throw your money away on just over half the picture. Full-frame DVDs destroy the vision of both director and cinematographer and give you a movie which bears a passing resemblance to what they wanted you to see. Do yourself a favor, click your "back" button, and click on the link that says "Widescreen edition". Hey, that way in 3 years when you have a widescreen TV you won't have those "annoying black bars" on the sides of your screen all the time.(...)"Remember: with widescreen you lose part of the screen. With Full Frame you lose the director's vision and artistry."
Buy the EXTENDED VERSIONS Not the Theatrical Cuts.
The Extended Director's versions are superior and more fullfilling than the theatrical cuts. 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 extened version of Return of the King that much more enjoyable!
Not as accurate as book, but still excellent
I'd like to say that when Theoden died at the battle of pelennor fields, he never knew that it was Eowyn who avenged his death. But in the movie, jackson decides to add a little drama, but hey it's hollywood.
I'd like to point out more differences between book/movie, but I have some homework to finish up, so late.
