Excellent condition. Perfect content. I learned a great deal more about details in relationships and story line in the E-X-T-E-N-D-E-D version for sure. All three extended versions should have been the makeup of the released movie - regardless of time frame involved. Hollywood spoiled Peter Jackson's ability to give us the entire story line at the outset. The phenomenal planning, art design, cinematography, graphics, innovations, talent, carpentry, mechanical devices - with 3,000 cast plus 300 artistic people working in the Arts Department at WETA, no wonder it was, and still is, such a spectacular epic film.

The review form asks, "Are the characters engaging?" Seriously? Who makes up these questions? How about, "How many people came over to view the 14 hours of video? How much pizza did that require? Has anyone swept a floor or fed the dogs while you rewatched this classic just so you could see three hours of extra video? Work on this, guys.

I am introducing my daughter to the trilogy and purchased all three extended version box sets. Upon just watching the movies themselves...I am seeing so much deleted from original shorter version. DID WE KNOW AARAGON WAS 87?..had no clue until saw this! With extended version you have to have a bit more patient and listen closely as the one negative is some of the main characters voices are low frequency and grumbly so turn that volume on! I am back into the world's we find so artistic and beautiful...what a great example of powerful and demanding roles that honor the actors who play them. This is a great example of good entertainment without the SMUT AND FILTH of today's standard. Yes, there is a violence to these movies but war is ugly but necessary. True heroes, honor, perseverance, humbleness,confidence, love....STRENGTH AND MORALITY is a lesson for everyone to learn. Our country was founded on men such as these..yet all a fictional movie you say!!!!..I disagree...BRAVO to the LOR for firing us up for the world we live in!!Read full review

All discs work, cover slightly worn, paper inserts missing. I bought this to replace a missing disc from my set. I have the paper inserts so that was not an issue for me. Thanks!!!

It's just simply one of the best films in cinematic history. A film that couldn't be made today (studio would want too much oversight, too much risk involved). I can't argue with the $1 price.

Having read the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy I loved it when the movies came out. The movies were so great in the theaters as they came out but having read the books my mind had to fill in the missing pieces. I think each one of the books could have been split into 2 movies as they did with the last Harry Potter book the Deathly Hallows and also the last Hunger Games book. Having acquired all 3 extended release versions I was ecstatic to find 98% of the content that was cut out to keep the movies in the the theaters a normal length. I, of course, binge watched all 3 (total of 6 disks) on a Saturday afternoon and it has inspired me to go back and read the Silmarillion and the adventures of Tom Bombadil both of which I purchased on ebay as well. I highly recommend all things Tolkien!Read full review
First of all I have to say that I had never read the books before seeing the film. I knew it was from my favorite Genre which is Fantasy. I have an extensive background in Dungeons&Dragons & role-playing in general so I knew going into the theater that I was going to enjoy the movie, but I was not prepared for the amazing story that Tolkien had told. This series is my favorite movie of all time. The two towers has a lot more action, but this is where the story begins. The director does such a fantastic job of bringing these characters to life & the Actors are phenomenal. I remember the very first time I say Gandalf, & said..."Oh my God, that's Elminster" So if you haven't seen this movie & you are even remotely interested in the Fantasy Genre, you have to get this boxed set. Also the extra's on the 2 Discs are equally fantastic.Read full review
I t was mostly intact and played very well. The only problem was there was a fold down the right side, where there shouldn't be one... I know this, because my brother also has a copy. I'm not happy with this, but I am content. it could be worse...

I was a huge fan of the books long before the movie was even an idea and while like most films that were fashioned from novels it is hardly a mirror image of one to the other this set of movies did a fine job of capturing the feel of Tolkien's work when it was first released and the extended version is even better.
