| This box is a great release, not only adding 2 hours to the entire trilogy (30 mins. for FoTR, 40 for TT, 50 for RoTK) but also a huge bonus content. br /br /Let`s talk about the extended cuts. I`ve watched LOTR 3 times before getting this box and i was stunned when sometimes i didn`t recognise the movie. The added scenes are very important in character development as well as for tying plot knots. Each movie is divided into 2 discs, so changing the dvd at the middle of the run is necesary.br /br /As for the remaining 6 discs, they are filled with goodies. You will see how elaborate the process behing the trilogy has been. Everything will be discussed, from pre-production to the department behind the weapons and armor you see in the movies.br /br /If you enjoyed LOTR you will be amazed how magnificent the uncut film looks like. Untill the ultimate edition is on sale, i recommend this with all my heart. |

| I bought this extended edition for my husband for his birthday and, WOW! It was so worth it! There is SO MUCH extended material that really fills out the story. And I love it that it was edited right into the film instead of being shown as disjointed clips as "extra" material. The bonus material is really interesting to watch as well. Any fans of LOTR will not regret paying more for this set. |

These extended movies are significantly better than the original releases, however I have found one problem. They play fine on a DVD player, but when I try to play them on a computer running Vista and Power DVD, I get something like a subtitle that runs at the top of the movie and lists all the credits while the movie is playing. This goes on the entire movie. This seems to be somehow connected to the normal subtitles because if I turn the regular subtitles on, these credits disappear.
If you are planning to watch these movies on a computer, this is something to be aware of, as it is incredibly distracting and basically makes the movies unwatchable. |

| If you haven't seen the Special Extended version of LOTR, you really haven't seen the movie. I hadn't read the books before I saw the movie, so this version in particular really fills in the blanks that the TV version and even the Extended version leave you with. A great feature is to view it with English subtitles in case you don't quite catch the actors' accents or the 'elvish' language. The special effects and makeup are remarkable and the sheer magnitude of the war scenes is out of this world. A must have if you're a Rings fan! |

I recently purchased this Box Set as a birthday gift for my husband. This was such a great buy! We have seen the movies many times but looking at the extended version really did make us feel like we were looking at it for the very first time.
The deleted scenes were fantastic and made my husband and I constantly exclaim "why did they delete that?".
Great buy and most importantly...great value for the price as this is a collectors classic! |

| Great collection lots of commentaries and extra stuff, will take a long time to go through. The movies were great and long, the extended versions of each movie makes them longer but not necessarily entertaining. |
