Summary: Worth the purchase
Comment: I was leary about purchasing another set of LOTR DVDs but hoped the added scenes would be worth the cost. I was not disappointed. I watched all 3 the day after Christmas. The additional scenes really enhanced and smoothed the flow of the story. I've read all the novels 3 times - once when the animated "Hobbit" came out, the second about 5 years later, and the third time after Fellowship hit the big screen, so it is a journey I love to go on. I never liked the way Aragorn and Eowyn's relationship was in the original release. Too jerky and all of a sudden she appears hooked up with Faramir at the end. Eowyn's warrior princess role in the extended version is much more satisfying and explains the Faramir piece. Another awkward scene was after the Ents' victory, Merry and Pippen were enjoying a smoke and the salted pork. The extended version sets up that scene and gives it context. The battle scenes are also even better in the extended version. I'm not only going to watch all 3 back to back again (soon!), but I think it's time to read them all once more.

Summary: Happy with the product and shipping
Comment: The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because in the picture it showes the movies in a case. All three were individual cases. They do not come in one box. The DVD's themselves were in great condition and all three were extended editions so the person I bought it for was very happy to receive them as a gift. They came in good timing as well.

Summary: Extended Edition is a must
Comment: The extended edition of LOTR is a must. The original movies seemed to lack justification for some of the actions that took place. The extended edition provides it.
Maybe one day there will be a Re-extended Edition. I am sure there is more film that could be put it. LOTR is a complex story with many complex characters. I would love to see it enriched even more. But, until there is a Re-extended Edition, you need the Extended Edition.

Summary: The best got even better
Comment: For anyone who is a fan of the "Ring" books as well as the movies, this is a delight. Some of the additional scenes filled-in parts of the story-line that readers of the books knew were relevant, making the movie more complete. Loved it all!

Editorial Reviews:
|
This critically acclaimed epic trilogy follows the quest undertaken by the hobbit, Frodo Baggins, and his fellowship of companions to save Middle-earth by destroying the One Ring and defeating the evil forces of the Dark Lord Sauron. With new and extended scenes carefully added back into the film, the 12-disc set also includes hours of bonus features.
