“Having already owned and seen this move numerous times and having recently purchased a blu-ray player we decided we needed it in blu-ray. Wrong! We didn't see any significant difference between the standard dvd or blu-ray. Its a great move no matter what media you're viewing!”
“Purchased the Gift-Set. Love the film, the bonus DVD about Gollum was packaged extremely well and came with a nice book. The statue is extremely nice too and well made. Its 2011, haha, so this set is a little out-of-print. But if you can find it for a good price like me, $17, then pick it up.”
“I won't buy any other dvd from this seller. The dvd said "BRAND NEW!" But it looked like the seller bubble wrap themselves,the dvd was scratched in several spots and was unplayable. So I bought it at a nearby store same item exactly! This one had papers in it explaining scene selections and more, plus it wasn't bubble wrapped, it was covered in clear plastic which unused dvd's are with a sticker on it saying "Theater version and Extended version" Be weary of people saying product is Bubble Wrapped" ' cause anyone can do that!”
“I purchased my copy from amazon through a seller who advertised it as new. When I received it, it was indeed shrink wrapped like a new DVD but the first disc had dried gunk on it, and there were smudges and light fingerprints on either side of it as well as on the second disc. Don't know if this was false advertising or a packaging error but I was surprised at the condition of a "new" disc.After cleaning it, the movie played fine. I had no problems. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't already own the movies. It would be a waste to buy if you already own either the theatrical or extended versions of the movie, especially since the other versions have lots more special features, and you would essentially be buying one or both versions twice. This is a very bare bones set. Just the film and one documentary. The main benefit to this set is having both versions together, where as the benefit to buying the previous sets would be the abundance of special features.”
“After the Fellowship has been broken, Hobbit friends Frodo (Elijah Wood) and Samwise (Sean Astin) go on their quest to Mordor but during their journey, they encounter the sneaky and vile creature known as Gollum a.k.a. Smeagol (Voiced and played by Andy Serkis) who decides to act as a guide for the two wondering Hobbits into the dark lands. The Fellowship such as Aragon (Viggo Morgenstein), Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Gimli (Jonathan Rhys-Davis) go after the ones that kidnapped Merry (Dominic Monaghan) and Pippin (Billy Boyd) as they find out that Saruman (Christopher Lee) who is the puppet of Sauron sends out many armies to join in the ultimate battle of good vs. evil while they must protect the kingdom of Isengard ruled by aging king Theodon (Bernard Hill) who was under a dark spell from Grima Wormtounge (Brad Douriff) as the battle will begin and the now recovered Gandolf (Ian Mckellen) joins them.Co-starring Miranda Otto as female warrior Eowyn, Cate Blancett as Gladriel, Hugo Weaving as Elrond, Liv Tyler as Arwen and Karl Urban as warrior Eomer this is a spectacular and brilliant adaptation of Tolkein's beloved second chapter in his amazing literary fantasy trilogy now told on the big screen in a glorious way. This is a sequel that surpasses the first one with more action, more epic and more scope thanks to the magic of Peter Jackson and company as they even made a new landmark in special effects on their creatures including Gollum who steals the show with a brilliant motion-capture CGI performance that earned Andy Serkis into stardom much like Zoe Salander was to Avatar. The score by Howard Shore is just as grand as ever and the battle scenes are just too good to be true including the complexity of the story that made this trilogy a public and critical fave.This 2-Disc Blu-Ray DVD set contains brilliant flawless picture and sound that makes LOTR look just as great as ever and has the same extras as the DVD such as trailers, LOTR: Aragon's Quest game trailer, documentaries shown on TV, Short film by Sean Astin, featurettes shown on the net, music video of Gollum's Song by Emillana Torrini, preview of Return of the King, Extended Edition preview and TV Spots.”
“auch ich kann mit den kinofassungen in HD qualität (sehr gut sichtbar auf 3 meter leinwand) leben, eine blu ray hat immer ein besseres bild als die dvd, wer den unterschied nicht sieht sollte zum augenarzt gehen, je größer das bild umso mehr fällt der unterschied zwischen dvd und blu ray oder auch HD DVD auf, ich kaufe mir seit 2006 keine dvd mehr.wie die fansite theonering.net unter berufung auf ungenannte quellen berichtet, sollen für die "extended editions" der "Herr der Ringe"-trilogie neue HD-master in vorbereitung sein und zugunsten der qualität die einzelnen drei filme auch möglicherweise auf zwei discs aufgeteilt werden.”
“ich kenne sehr viele gut filme und besitze auch einige davon, doch dieser ist mit abstand der beste film den ich je gesehen habe. vergiss avatar, inception und salt dhdr 2 ist das wahre. auch wenn ich die 3 gerdae genannten filme alle besitze und auch liebe, mit der herr der ringe können sie nicht mithalten. ich finde die ganze herr der ringereihe legendär und gerade den zweiten teil am besten. wer der herr der ringe noch nie gesehen hat hat die allerbesten filme noch lange nicht gesehen. ich kann dieses gefühl garnicht in worte fassen dass ich habe, wenn ich diese 3 allzeitklassiker meiner kindheit sehe. sie erinnern mich an eine längst vergessene zeit. ich weiss nicht wie irgendein anderer film diesen film übertreffen kann? und ich verstehe die leute überhaupt nicht, die diesen film/e nicht für gelungen halten. respekt and james cameron und co. aber mit der herr der ringe ist der platz an der sonne deutlich vergeben!!!!!!!!!!!”
