Reviews of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy Extended Version

The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray Review from Blu-ray.com
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Blu-ray (Extended Editions) receives a perfect 5.0 score from the experts and the fans at Blu-ray.com. They go so far as to say that, this boxed set "is a well-crafted, smartly designed, eye-catching beauty."
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy Extended Edition Review From IGN.com
IGN contends that this set is not for everyone because it features only the lengthy, extended version of the movies and NOT the theatrical version. However, if you like or want to see the extended version, there is no better option than this set. The remastering was supervised by Peter Jackson and included a brand-new digital transfer and tweaking of both colors and contrast. IGN closes by saying, "this really is the best the three films are going to get on Blu-ray."
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Extended Edition Review from DVD Talk
DVD Talk sums up by saying that this set was one of the most coveted movie sets ever and that it arrived in fine style. The extended cuts they say are stunning in high-def and they give The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition their highest recommendation.

Is the Lord of the Rings Extended Box Set Worth The Money?

I think that the LOTR extended edition box set is worth Amazon's SALE price!

This is the most comprehensive, definitive version ever released of the LOTR trilogy but is it worth $120?

If you are not a big fan, you are unlikely to think it is worth $120. However, if you are a Lord of the Rings fan, you might be inclined to say yes but don't worry you can own this box set for much less than that and I think that, if you are a fan, you will agree that the heavily discounted price from Amazon IS worth it.

Don't forget, too, that Amazon offers FREE shipping on this item because it is worth more than their minimum of $25.
