...This is to me, THE Definitive Fantasy Adventure movie series of all time. If you had to place this head to head with Original Star Wars, I hate to say it ( no, seriously, I really do hate to say it, I stood in line for the first Star Wars movie for 6 hrs back in '79 ), this beats it. No, not the CGI, or the effects, just the pure storytelling, adventure settings, storyline, etc. Now for the Extended version. It is worth it to see the extra footage, it is just more icing on the cake, extra fudge topping on the Sundae Supreme. Blu Ray makes this even more "depth-defying" pardon the pun. I am not going into story detail, if you need that, you have no business buying this set,,, lol.. With "The Hobbit : and Unexpected Adventure" now out, and yes, already saw that, loved it, its 4.6 stars out of 5 ), your LOTR vacancy will get a nice update. There just isnt another series you can fairly compare this to, IMHO, not the Bond series, Star Wars, Trek flicks,Indiana Jones movies, not any of them. It just IS as close to the perfect set of film stories ever made. If you already have the DVD's, not the extended, I WOULD spend the money to get the Extended Blu Ray ( I have the series on DVD, and yes, the Blu Ray extended is worth the money ).
The Lord of the Rings (extended editions) are SO much differen...t then the theatrical versions! I catch something new every time i watch them :D If you loved the lord of the rings movies, you will really enjoy these ones! so much more to the story and was acted and directed very well!

The world is changed. I feel it in the w...ater. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was is lost; for none now live who remember it. It began with the forging of the great rings: three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf Lords; great miners and craftsman of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who above all else desire power. For within these rings was bound the strength and will to govern each race. But they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made: in the land of Mordor, in the fires of Mount Doom, the dark lord Sauron forged, in secret, a master ring to control all others. And into this ring he poured his cruelty, his malice,and his will to dominate all life. One Ring to Rule them All.

This is one of the best film... trilogies (if not THE best) of all time in literally the best Blu-ray/DVD boxset of all time. 15 disks PACKED with every kind of special feature you could ever want and then some and that's not to mention the gorgeous packaging. Nothing even comes close, not even my beloved Matrix boxset. I don't know what else to say. If you like BREATHING AIR, you should own this.

Duh! The most amazing film(s) c...reated to date... THIS is why I finally caved-in & bought my Blu-ray player. I was NOT disappointed in the least. In fact - I bought all of The Hobbit Extended Editions on Blu-Ray, too. (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know...) Don't miss out!
