“It really irritates me when Amazon combines reviews for a particular title, regardless of the many mediums it's available in.This review is for the 5 disc extended edition blu-ray set for the second film. Not the trilogy blu-ray set, in case this somehow ends up on that page as well. This review will be posted for all three films since most of what I'm going to say pertains to all of them, but any film-specific information will be kept to that respective film. Once I've found 37 hours to have some friends over for a marathon I'll return and give my opinion of the upgraded format. For now this is just a review of the packaging and other things I noticed that might impact someones decision to buy or not.I ordered these separate extended sets because I had read many reviews for the extended trilogy blu-ray set saying 'the Fellowship' has a green (I think it was green) hue prevalent throughout. I did read one review saying the issue could be resolved with some TV adjustments. Beyond that inconvenience I was hoping two things would be different with these sets: first I thought maybe the green issue would be fixed (I'll let you know if that's the case in my update for 'fellowship'), and second I was thinking maybe a more understandable reason for a re-release would be to make all 5 discs (15 between three films) blu-ray. This is not the case. That was the first thing I checked and all the non-feature discs say DVD, while the two discs for the main feature say blu-ray.To sum up, I am happy I bought these sets if only for the beautiful cover art on each. If you don't care about the cover art, if you're not worried about having 15 blu-ray discs total, and if the possibility of a green-less 'fellowship' isn't a big deal, then it probably doesn't matter if you buy these sets or the whole trilogy blu-ray set.I'll update hopefully soon with info on the films themselves.Update 09/13/12So I've finally watched the film since purchasing and I want to give my thoughts as I did with "Fellowship". I really can't say much. The movie looks great, but it looked great in 2002 also. I feel like the images are crisper and colors more vivid, but without a side-by-side comparison it's hard to tell. Snobs might complain but they're just wanting to be heard when they do.Enjoy. :)”
“it's amazng have this edition with figure Gollum .. it's more value than anything. I loved Figure Gollum but i have blu-ray edition too. But i think pciture still the best for blu-ray edition”

“If you are a Lord of the Rings fan, you must order the extended versions. I ordered all three movies at once and spent the weekend watching. Extended scenes add so much to the theatrical version that it almost feels as though it is a new movie all together. Of course you will never be able to capture the whole magical expierence of the books on film, but the extended versions adds alot of details that you always felt were missing from the theatrical version. Extended scenes flow with the original with the same quality and attention to detail. Order all three extended versions for an enjoyable movie weekend.”
