Product Description

Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is an epic adventure of good against evil, the power of friendship and individual courage. The saga centers around an unassuming Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a Ring that would give a dark and powerful lord the power to enslave the world. With a loyal fellowship of elves, dwarves, men and a wizard, Frodo embarks on a heroic quest to destroy the One Ring and pave the way for the emergence of mankind.

 

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship continue their quest to destroy the One Ring and stand against the evil of the dark lord Sauron. The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two towers - Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman waits and Sauron's fortress at Baraddur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.

 

Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King

The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer may complete his quest.

DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! BUY THE EXTENDED1
[...]

THEY WILL be coming out with the extended edition blue-ray. It looks like they are doing the exact same thing as with the DVD, they released the original theatrical versions on DVD, which I bought ALL 3 of, ended up buying the full extended edition box set and giving the 3 theatricals to my sister... HAHA Peter Jackson, no such luck this time. The link above is the link to the Sign-up for the notification of the Extended Edition release. Im assuming it will just take an extra couple months waiting... but hey its worth it. You all know you want to watch all 12 or whatever hours of LOTR in high def, lol... on second thought. ha just kidding but seriously dont waste your money, go to this link and sign up for the notification. Oh and no thanks necessary, I know I rock!

Come on New Line,give us BOTH Theatrical and Extended Cuts in one great package!5
Come on now New Line,stop doing this to us,with blu ray you can put BOTH Theatrical and Extended Cuts on one Blu each with space to spare! and have a disc or two of suppilments as well,that's the way IT should be done! Give me a vote if you agree! I guess New Line knows that it's LOTR so it can release these multiple times on BLU and fans will buy! The 5 stars is for the films themselves,not what New Line is doing to the fans! GIVE US LOTR/BLU-RAY FANS WHAT WE DESERVE!!! TRUE FANS CHERISH BOTH VERSIONS!!! AFTER ALL PETER JACKSON'S KING KONG FROM 2005 HAD BOTH THEATICAL & EXTENDED VERSIONS ON IT'S BLU RAY FROM UNIVERSAL,THEY DID IT RIGHT,EVEN THOUGH THE EXTRAS COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER,I AS FAN WAS HAPPY!!! As we plainly see,this is New Line's biggest "Cash Cow"(MOOOOO!),and there gonna keep on "milking it"!!!

You will be disappointed with this theatrical version!!1
If you have the LOTR DVDs(either extended or the shorter theatrical version) you will be disappointed with this release!! Wait for the extended blu ray version. Don't waste your money unless you have excess money to waste.
