Format:Blu-ray
These movies are great even in the theatrical cut, and the blu ray transfer really does them justice!
Who really cares if the theatrical versions were released first, you pay your money and you make your choice!
I love the extended versions as they really are so much closer to the original vision and story of middle earth, however, some people prefer the theatrical versions, I quite like the theatrical versions as sometimes I cant be bothered to devote 4 hours to watching the extended movie, and for £13.99 this boxset is a bargain!
Although its always fun to hear and read the fanboys complaining they had to wait for "their" extended version, seriously guys get a grip and stop complaining these films even in the theatrical cut are still amazing! I especially like the review which says that blu ray isnt mainstream and therefore shouldnt cater for mainstream tastes, some people amaze me!
This boxset is what it is, three great movies at a bargain price, if you dont like it then dont buy it!

I have no idea why fans are boycotting this review. The product is amazing for the price. These are the movies I saw in the cinema and the ones I want to watch again, I don't have to change the disc halfway through the movie either.
Top notch, don't listen to the LOTR obsessive fans.

I've seen both the Extended Edition and the Theatrical Edition and, in my opinion, this is the better version. There's nothing wrong with the Extended LotR, it clarifies many details which weren't made clear in the original, but each movie runs well over 3 hours which is more time than most people are willing to sit still for and you have to switch disks halfway through.
I feel this is Lord of the Rings in it's most concise form and on that basis I would recommend it. It's also a bargain for the price.

Who cares it's not the extended edition?
These films are long enough, and very enjoyable, without the extras added. They look great in HD, and are considerably cheaper than the extended edition boxset. Read more
