    5.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate DVD set for all time!, October 26, 2004
    I already reviewed the regular "Motion Picture Trilogy" containing the non-extended editions of the legendary Lord of The Rings masterpieces on one set. However, this newest edition is a grand improvement on the previous edition. This item is a much, MUCH better investment than the old theatrical counterparts and is perhaps the greatest DVD purchase one will likely ever make.

    A lot "Director's Cut" scenes are usually just added footage that doesn't do a whole lot to add onto the theatrical edition of movies with examples like Star Wars, Manhunter, or even most of the "Aliens" movies as well. The extra material is just that, extras, that wouldn't kill me to never see again.

    It's a totally different story altogether with the "Lord Of The Rings" movies altogether. While the regular theatrical editions were mind-blowing, the extended cuts of the same films do wonders in fleshing out the story and expanding the characters a lot more. Several characters that...

    This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (The Fellowship of the Ring / The Two Towers / The Return of the King Extended Editions + Digital Copy) [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
    Q - Is it worth it, especially if I already have the DVD edition?
    A - To me it is because I like to watch movies at home on the biggest possible screen at the highest possible resolution. I still have the DVD editions - which I'm keeping because I like the artwork - and the quality gain on the Blu is significant.

    Q - Could this edition be viewed as 'the gold standard'?
    A - Yes. It has the extended cuts at the highest resolution with the best sound and the most extensive collection of special features.

    Q - How many Blu-ray discs are in the box?
    A - There are SIX Blu-ray discs. The additional 9 'extras' or 'bonus' discs are DVDs.

    Q - Are the movies delivered on one disc each?
    A - No. See above. Like the DVD extended edition, the movies are delivered on 2 discs each.

    Q - Why aren't the movies delivered on one Blu-ray disc each?
    A - Most Blu-ray players can only read single layer (25GB) and dual layer discs... Read more

    For all of you who think owning the theatrical editions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is good enough, think again. These editions are not like any other director's cuts or special editions of films that we've seen in the past. Usually, when a film has a special edition, we don't get a whole lot more added in, and it's stuff that doesn't really add anything significant to the story.

    But with these editions, just the opposite is true. The extended editions of the first two Lord of the Rings films proved to enhance the plot and characters so much more than anyone ever anticipated. Characters and their journeys become so much clearer and more interesting. The story makes so much more sense. And the whole thing has been re-edited with new music for new scenes and extended musical scores for extended scenes! It's absolutely seamless! Everything that's added in really makes me wonder how I could've enjoyed the films in their original theatrical release. These extended... Read more
