The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy: Extended Edition Box Set (15 Discs) (Blu-ray)

perfect picture and sound ....
Plenty of hours of extras 9 discs.
Recommend Get This Now !!

I originally bought the fellowship on regular DVD then bought all three on extended DVD now the blu-ray extended edition is released! How can they justify this, at over 25GB per disc there is more than enough space for a film (no compromise on quality), the extras could be on another blu-ray disc easy. No, I will not be buying this on blu-ray out of principle just to have another set of the same! I am a huge fan of blu-ray technology but do we all have mug stamped on our foreheads when they release these new versions expecting us to buy again. I don't think so.

Ive just paid 30.00, for what is probably the best ever trilogy available, with extended blue ray copies and tonnes of extras, Basically 10.00 per film. Wow!
What a series of films too. Epic! and I am really looking forwards to seeing them in HD. I only wish they were also available in 3D, however the new series the Hobbit is...
I dont think I need tell anyone about these films, if you havent seen them, well BUY now at this price.
I can understand people paying 50.00 being abit miffed, however just because the films are on 2 discs just seems silly to me. Go for a piss or get another beer from the fridge, stretch your legs abit and move a few feet towards the tv and back again...
For 30.00 you really cant go wrong. Well done PLAY!!!

A must have set for your blu-ray collection. The picture and sound quality are top notch and the films still have all their glory to hold them together. Time flies by when watching you wont even realise you've been sitting down for more than 3 hours. And with the new scenes added, you gain more story and understanding on certain plot points. Recommended to anyone and everyone.

Listen to me well all those unhappy or questioning about 2 discs!

I bought this upon knowing that these films are all on two discs. I was skeptical at first but it poses no problem whatsoever. Each part is between 1hr45 to 2 hours long. It is done to preserve quality and add the extra content for the movies. This does not ruin the experience at all! They end at good places which you can easily fall straight back into after the change. NOW STOP COMPLAINING ! :P

It is a awesome trilogy, the extra material makes me so happy :) There is a extension on character development at times and a better understanding or lesser characters stories.

BUY IT! You won't regret it! I promise! This is coming from a huge fan of the movies :)

This is the best collection you will ever own. I've had the DVD collection for some time and watch all my films on a 6 foot screen. I've waited for a long, long time for the extended edition to come out and in bluray. Having waited and listened to the comments on forums and on reviews, finally the extended bluray was made available and I bought it. You have to own this. To be honest, i just expected the sound to be better having a fairly good surround system etc. The difference in picture and sound was apparent straight away. The colours were more vivid and yet more natural. The clarity is awesome and the sound is just mind blowingly good. This is a must own collection.
For all those concerned about stretching over to another disc, get a life. Get up, make a brew, change over and settle down again to the best thing you will ever watch on DVD.

Well it's ALL be said before BUT This is most possible the Ultimate
Blue-Ray Release of ALL TIME!!! ALL 3 Epic Films Brought to life by the,
Genuis that is Peter Jackson the Director, Just Superb in everyway!!!

Im just wondering, are there finnish subs? The description just says english. I'd appreciate if someone would answer.

As said before, the movies are split on 2 discs. I just don't see the issue here. When the first disc is over, get up, insert second disc, press play. I mean come on ! It's not that hard.
And i personally couldn't sit through a 4h25min movie without getting up, stretching my legs, walking around... So the intermission is actually welcome.
Plus you can have better image quality, better sound quality and many commentaries for each movies. So it's really not that big a deal (i seem to recall that the theatrical versions were on one disc and were crap 'cause too compressed).
The extended versions do add a lot to the movie as you discover things you wouldn't know if you only watch the theatrical version. Of course the most complete lotr experience is reading the books and maybe those new scenes will give you enough curiosity to cross the line (if you hadn't already).
Conclusion : Totally worth it ! Buy it now !!

I also agree with those who disagree with having to change disks. As mentioned in another review, with today's technology and the amount of storage capcity, you wouldnt think there would be a problem fitting the films on to one disk. I have a feeling in the future these film will be released again on Blu-Ray with the same quality and on a single disk per film. Saying that, I will award 4 stars as the films themselves are excellent.
