4.0 out of 5 stars Not quite the whole journey, 27 Mar 2004
By Touring Mars (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
As if owning these films separately is not pleasure enough, now the whole trilogy is available for a bargain price in one concise box-set. Between them, these films were nominated for an unprecedented 30 Oscars, and won 17 in total, 11 of them for the 'Return of the King' alone. A trilogy unlike any other, effectively 'The Lord Of The Rings' is just one very long film, 9 hours and 18 minutes to be exact. But of course, even that is not the WHOLE story. Missing from this Theatrical Version box-set is, of course, an almost unbelievable 2 hours and 3 minutes of extended scenes. Where this box-set represents a decent saving on the originals, the Extended Version box-set will be an even better bargain, hence why I would recommend holding on another few months for it, rather than rushing out to buy this.

Even the 'couch-potato advantage' of having the whole movies on a single DVD each doesn't really apply anymore, since you will have to get up and change the discs anyway, if (like many thousands no doubt will) you intend watching them back to back. There is, however, a more subtle advantage in owning the theatrical versions over the extended versions, in that if you intend to watch the whole lot in one day, you might just be able to do it, whereas at a mind-boggling 11 hours and 21 minutes, the entire extended trilogy may result in SSAS (Severely Sore Arse Syndrome) or even deep-vein thrombosis.

Peter Jackson has created the must-have movie trilogy of all-time, and from beginning to end, the journey is as fascinating as was originally penned by J.R.R. Tolkein himself. A triumph of a trilogy, but if like me you enjoyed every minute of it, you will surely want to own every minute of it too.

5.0 out of 5 stars An achievement in cinema..., 17 Nov 2004
By S. Paterson "me" (Brighton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Having seen all of the films at the cinema and thinking that they were good, but not good enough to warrant spending £20 each on the DVDs, i saw this box set containing all of the theatrical editions of the films.

I have to confess, i brought the set because of the amazing value that Amazon were offering (under £20). But, having watched all of the films again, a few times over, i can now appreciate the true brilliance of the story, the acting of Elijah Wood and others such as Orlando Bloom, the directing of the amazing peter Jackson and, saving the best to last, the special effects that are present in the movies.

The set comes in a great looking tough cardboard box, with all of the film covers on the front and is something extra that you wouldn't have if you brought all three films separately. This collection is a must have for any film fan, and (i'll say it again), it's fantastic value for money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brill Buy, 6 Feb 2005
By A Customer
I thought that because this is the theatrical edition, it wouldn't be as good as the Extended one, especially since it is at such a low price. How wrong I was. This box set is amazing with every film on one disc, brilliant acting, brilliant soundtrack, brilliant everything! I've read the books and even though nothing can beat the books, this is a thoroughly enjoyable watch and for £20, how can you go wrong?! Brilliant, recommend it for any LOTR fan.
