Editorial Review:
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is an epic adventure of good against evil, the power of friendship and individual courage. The saga centers around an unassuming Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a Ring that would give a dark and powerful lord the power to enslave the world. With a loyal fellowship of elves, dwarves, men and a wizard, Frodo embarks on a heroic quest to destroy the One Ring and pave the way for the emergence of mankind.
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship continue their quest to destroy the One Ring and stand against the evil of the dark lord Sauron. The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two towers - Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman waits and Sauron's fortress at Baraddur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor.
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: The final battle for Middle-earth begins. Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfill his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer may complete his quest.
The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Theatrical Editions) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Another con 
2009-12-21 - This is another attempt at milking the license without giving the consumer what they are truly looking for. DO NOT purchase this product. This is not the extended editions with complete footage, these are the "as seen in theaters" cuts. Wait for the real product to be released.
Enough manipulation 
2009-12-21 - I love this movie but I will not be manipulated by the company. I will buy the blue ray version ONLY when the extended edition is put on Blue Ray. The company's greed just back fired big time!
I will not buy this version of the films 
2009-12-21 - One star for a five star film series only because it is the theatrical version.
The extended versions are the versions worth owning. After releasing the extended versions, re releasing the theatrical version is an insult to the fans. I am waiting for the extended version to be released on Bluray. I will not buy LoTR on BD until the extended version is released.
RIP-OFF!!!!!!!! 
2009-12-21 - I agree with the previous reviewers. I was pretty excited to see the release, until I noticed it was the theatrical version. I have the extended releases on all three films on SD. For the studios not to release both versions - theatrical and extended - is just shameful.
I'm saving my dollars until the real thing comes out.
greedy greedy greedy 
2009-12-21 - like everyone has been saying.....Could of easily realeased BR with BOTH theatrical AND Extended versions on it. I WON'T be buying it!
