Product Information | |
Peter Jackson's epic trilogy is fully told here, with the theatrical versions of all three LORD OF THE RINGS films included. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades set out to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged. Included in the group are Frodo and hobbits Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monoghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen); human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies); the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Along the way, they wage battle with monsters, demons, and Sauron's evil minions, all brought to life by spectacular digital technology.LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS: Picking up where the first film left off, Peter Jackson's THE TWO TOWERS throws the remaining members of the Fellowship into the scattered chaos of Middle-earth, now fully under siege by the forces of Sauron. While Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) journey to the dreaded Mordor, Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) are held captive by orcs, and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) search for their abducted companions. Soon Frodo and Sam are joined by the sulking and duplicitous Gollum (portrayed by the voice and motion-captured acting of Andy Serkis), who becomes their guide through the barren lands leading to Mount Doom. Meanwhile Merry and Pippin encounter the looming Treebeard (voiced by Rhys-Davies) and Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli find themselves in the land of Rohan, accompanied by an old friend. As the tale continues, each scenario becomes more perilous, and fierce battles erupt at both Isengard, home of the treacherous Saruman (Christopher Lee), and the massive Helm's Deep.LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING: THE RETURN OF THE KING, the third and final film in Peter Jackson's THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy, finds Middle-earth on the cusp of great change. Weary hobbits Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Sam (Sean Astin) venture further into the dark realm of Mordor, guided by the increasingly desperate Gollum (Andy Serkis), the two-faced former owner of the Ring that Frodo must destroy in the fires of Mount Doom. Meanwhile Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) contend with the deranged ruler Denethor (John Noble) at the once-mighty city of Minas Tirith, as Merry (Dominic Monaghan) joins Éowyn (Miranda Otto) and the Riders of Rohan to hold back the forces of Sauron. Amidst the chaos, Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) must rise to his destiny, aided by Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (John Rhys-Davies) in assembling allies for a massive battle that will decide the fate of Middle-earth. | |

Lord of the Rings: DVD Extended Edition Director's Cut
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (2004, DVD),extended edition with some additional materials. As the DVD's have been released in various cuts, I first suggest you get this one, it is the best of the series. Obviously there were many directorial decisions made to 'boil down' the text for adaptation into a movie, so in addition to the DVD you should also own a text copy of the original novels. This allows you to see the tremendous number of difficulties that Peter Jackson had in adapting the Tolkien work into a film trilogy. Having said that, I must also say that Jackson's work is at the level of the very best. He wisely stayed in close touch with thousands of fans, and used them and their feedback to steer the production and editing of the theatrical(and subsequent) releases. Many director's would lack the wisdom to so effectively use this admiring fanbase (or, perhaps, lack the time and budgetary freedom to do so). Regardless, Jackson's adaptation of Tolkien's masterpiece is one of the crowning accomplishments of the cinematographic arts and sciences of the past century. There will be another Lord of the Rings brought to life in the next century, using tools and methods which are not yet known. It would seem about every twenty to thirty years we see another adaptation of some popular film or novel. However, given the film industry as it currently stands, with the distribution channels (and after-markets), this is absolutely one of the best of all DVD releases you could ever hope to own, and it will continue to hold its own well into the next century. Perhaps the holographic adaptation created in the year 2035 AD will sweep the Oscars, and maybe fully incorporate the entire text (will the audience sit still for 120 hours to see it?), but this is the absolutely benchmark adaptation that all followers will have to acknowledge.
An iconic drama!
This trilogy of movies cover the entire "Lord of the Rings" story, but each movie is a stand alone story. That being said, it certainly is more entertaining to binge watch all three in short order. That makes it easier to keep the characters straight and the story lines make more sense. The story is pretty complex and at times a bit difficult to follow, but even during the parts where I got confused, it all made sense in the end. The CGI work is awesome, and the scenery from New Zealand and Australia was magnificent. Some may think the scenery can't be real, but I just returned from a trip to Australia and New Zealand and can attest to the fact that those places really do exist. The music, scenery, characters, CGI, acting and story all combine to make this a wonderful movie set to own.

The best trilogy I have ever seen
I am not normally a fantasy type movie person. I had only just watched the Lord of the rings Trilogy for the first time about a month ago. This was by far one of the best movies I have EVER seen. If you have not seen this you are missing out. I rented the first one because everyone kept telling me great it was. I watched it and right away was hooked. I could not tear myself away. After I watched the first one, right away I popped in the 2nd. I didn't sleep all night and had to stay home from work the next day to finish all of the movies. It was that good. You get a feel for all of the characters and you will laugh and cry with them along their journey. The visual aids and scenery are breathtaking. I actually watched it twice because there is so much information that you have to take in I wanted to make sure that I understood everything. It's even better the 2nd time!!!! This is a must have trilogy!!!!
Classic series!
I loved this movie when I was kid (shame on my parents that I watched it that young). And I loved it so much, I had to go and buy the series again after not knowing what happened to our original series. It's really good series of movies and I'm not saying don't let your kids watch it, but be aware that people, orcs, and other wild creatures die in a violent manner.

The Lord of the Rings: Extended Edition Trilogy
I originally saw the movies in the theater without reading the books. I loved them then. I'm a big reader and I wanted to be able to say that I had read the books, so I did. I enjoyed the books and was able to see that the screenplay for all 3 movies is among the best I have ever seen. Peter, Phillipa and the other writer ( I don't remember her name) did a fantastic job. Yes, there are things missing from the movies (Tom Bombadill for example), but they do not take away from the movies. My parents lent my family their extended edition trilogy and my boys and I enjoyed them thoroughly. I loved them even more than the theatrical releases. The extended edition has extra scenes and also extended scenes in the movie. The extra DVDs are all fantastic as well. They include behind the scenes, actor interviews, and writer and producer interviews. They included pre- production segments as well as post-production segments. They were really fun to watch. After returning my parents movies, we had to get our own. I'm thrilled that I was able to find all 3 movies, new, at this price. I would greatly recommend all three of the LOTR extended edition DVDs.
