This box set collects together the three extended versions of Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Two Towers (2002) and The Return of the King (2003).
The Set:
You get 12 DVD's in total. 4 per movie. 2 of the discs contain the actual film and the other 2 contain loads and loads of bonus material. The box is neat and will look impressive in your collection.
The Movies and soundtrack:
All 3 movies are extended. Roughly 30mins of extra footage each. Ever wondered what happened to the orcs in Two Towers?? Video quality is excellent and an added bonus is the DTS ES Discrete 6.1 soundtrack. No matrix decoding. 6 proper discrete audio channels plus a sub-woofer channel. Of course you will need a 6.1 DTS compatible receiver to appreciate the extra center rear channel.
The Bonus Material
I've watched all of the bonus discs and I can honestly say that I don't know of any other dvd movie release that can compare to the amount of bonus material on these discs. Everything is there. From conceptual art to costume design to visual effects. They also have some interesting bits on Tolkien.
Verdict:
Even if you are not a fan of fantasy films/books, you will appreciate the amount of work that went into creating these 3 movies. Just watch the bonus material and you will see. It's monumental!
And if you are a fan of the book but think the film is not true to the book, again, watch the bonus material and all will be revealed. Jackson and the writers are quite convincing in their explanation of why they changed certain things.
