Thank you!!!

Rating: 5/5

It's amazing that the movies do so much justice to the book, and the platinum edition's appendices are well worth the extra!

The Best Version

Rating: 5/5

The Extended Editions of the LOTR films are the definitive editions, and if you're a fan of the films you owe it to yourself to pick them up. Not only do you get the best version of the film, you get an incredible Behind The Scenes story. Also, buy a copy of The Lord of the Films: The Guide to Tolkien's Middle-Earth on the Big Screen which has lots more information to truly give you the best viewing experience. These films are the Wizard of Oz of our generation and will live on forever. Be sure to see them as they were meant to be seen.

The Lord of the Rings - Two Towers

Rating: 5/5

The extended addition made me fall in love with the trilogy all over again. How I wish Pete Jackson could have released this to the theaters. True ringers would have gladly stayed no matter how many hours it ran. Loved it so much, I broke out the books, starting with the Hobbit of course", and I am enjoying the thrill ride just as much as I did the first time I read them. The extra's and appendices explaining in detail all that was involved in the creation of this masterpiece was amazing to watch.

If you are a fan of LOTR, you have to add this to your collection!

Rating: 5/5

I am a huge lifetime fan of this genre. Tolkien was a tremendously gifted author and the LOTR series of books has had a huge impact worldwide from the time it was first released. I was excited when I heard that the series was going to be made into a movie. However, as happens so often when trying to take a story of this magnitude and put it on the silver screen, I was afraid that the movie would fall short of the expectation. I'm happy to say the movie exceeded the expectation. And while some would say the original was too long, all I could say was give me more. The extended versions fulfill that request. And, while I was disappointed that the movie did not include the return to the Shire at the end, it is still one of the greatest movies of all time. As stated previously, if you are a fan of LOTR, the extended additions are a must-buy.

What else could be said?

Rating: 5/5

This movie is just amazing. Its now been a few years since I purchased this set and I am going back reviewing all my old purchases. In that time I have grown to appreciate the whole trilogy even more. This epic film being the middle one is the gateway film of the series. It is when it all goes wrong. You could compare this to Empire Strikes Back, in that, the characters are faced with decisions that impact them until the end of the series.

Peter Jackson pulls off amazing feats with this installation. You really feel for the characters, appreciate the choices they make and root for them as they battle their way to their fate. Cinematography that is beautiful, characters we can relate to, epic music; you need to get this and the others in this set.

I am totally looking forward to The Hobbit

Highly recommended!
