The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Theatrical Editions) [Blu-ray] Reviews:
What an incredible greedy ploy
2009-11-10 - I agree with others. I've been waiting a long time for LOTH on Blu-ray, but will boycot this release. Let's hope the copies rot on the shelf and they loose money on it. This is an obvious ploy to milk more money from the die hard fans (buying this copy AND the extended cut in another year).
We've waited this long, what's a little longer. Don't give into the corporate greed. There are plenty of other things to spend you're money on and with companies that actually appreciate fans of thier movies.

Hoping they come to their senses and release both at the same time (or better yet, both in the same release)...

More Games from Corporate Headquarters
2009-11-09 - This negative review is just to add to the overwhelmening objection to the release of the theaterical versions of these great films rather than the extended. Why not a complete package with both right now? We know it is coming? Why are you trying to cheat people out of their money, especially in this economy?

SHAME SHAME DON"T BUY THIS VERSION SEND NEW LINE A MESSAGE
2009-11-08 - This is the first review I have ever written (about a movie). I first read the Lord of the Rings as a teen, saw pre-showings of all the movies; own all the DVD versions. This is greed pure and simple, as so many have already said...the extended versions are so much better. Remember ,the majority of folks who will buy the HD version ALREADY OWN one or more verions of these movies...Send a message...DO NOT buy these and teach these greedy executives a lesson...is there anyone at NEW Line paying attention??? I think not! If its money they are after, teach them a lesson and stay away, they may listen when they are hit in the pocket book!

don't waste your time
2009-11-08 - they know nobody wants this version. but they still try to sell it for 85.00. I might watch it if I got for free. but I wouldn't spend a penny for it.

Shameful
2009-11-07 - Just contributing to the low star rating that should help ward customers away from this swindle.
