Editorial Review:
As the triumphant start of a trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring leaves you begging for more. By necessity, Peter Jackson's ambitious epic compresses J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Lord of the Rings, but this robust adaptation maintains reverent allegiance to Tolkien's creation, instantly qualifying as one of the greatest fantasy films ever made. At 178 minutes, it's long enough to establish the myriad inhabitants of Middle-earth, the legendary Rings of Power, and the fellowship of hobbits, elves, dwarves, and humans--led by the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) and the brave hobbit Frodo (Elijah Wood)--who must battle terrifying forces of evil on their perilous journey to destroy the One Ring in the land of Mordor. Superbly paced, the film is both epic and intimate, offering astonishing special effects and production design while emphasizing the emotional intensity of Frodo's adventure. Ending on a perfect note of heroic loyalty and rich anticipation, this wondrous fantasy continues in The Two Towers (2002). --Jeff Shannon
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Full Screen Edition) Reviews:
Lord of the Rings DVD 
2009-12-20 - I purchased Lord of the Rings, the extended version, to see if it followed the book more closely. It is apparent that several scenes have been added that improve the DVD. What I don't like is this website.
closer to the vision
2009-12-15 - Although I loved the theatrical versions of LOTR, so much needed to be left out, even to fit into 3 three hour movies.. The extended versions are closer to the vision. Characters beyond Frodo and Sam are fleshed out more. We also get a greater sense of the duration and duration of Frodo's quest. Great addition to the library.
A great interpretation of Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring
2009-12-10 - Any Tolkien or medieval adventure fan should own this movie. It's fairly useless without the second movie (The Two Towers) and the last one (The Return of the King). You gotta have all three!
Makes the movies even MORE than they already are!
2009-11-27 - I got the theatrical version of Fellowship of the Ring when it came out. I didnt know the extended version would be released later. When the Two Towers and Return of the King came out I got the extended versions of them. I ended up trading in my theatrical version of Fellowship and buying the extended version. These are absolutely worth everything. Most movies that have extended or deleted scenes just throw them in a menu to watch all out of order. In this, the extended and deleted scenes are put INTO the movie, making each movie 30-50 minutes LONGER! After seeing the extended versions of these movies you will never want to think of the theatrical versions again. Plus, if you're someone like me and enjoy things looking badass on a shelf, these bulky book looking boxes are awesome collectibles that will spice up your DVD shelf.
Even without the two disks per film of bonus features, these are worth it just for the extended versions of the films. If you have the regular versions, I would recommend taking them somewhere that buys used DVDs and using the money towards buying these.
Just like a transaction should be..... 
2009-11-24 - Good price, great service, product delivered without any damage, and quickly! Would definetly buy from again.
