The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy [Extended Edition] [15 Discs] [Blu-ray]

The product is great which is why I’ll give it a five star rating; the service provided by Best Buy to get my item was terrible/ worst experience ever. Originally ordered for pick at the front desk for check out and my item which would be ready in an hour for pick and was not ready; Once I got there I waited 3 hours because they mentioned they were behind on orders and then they couldn’t find my order, so I walked into the store and picked the item off the shelf myself and witnessed one guy/ Best Buy Employee casually walking around the isle searching for movies taking his time all while other customers are waiting for their orders (no wonder they were so behind) It looks like the employees can’t work together since I saw the manager doing most of the work while the rest of the employees hardly tried to get orders in on time. Very, very slow workers; you’re better off going to the store and picking up the item off the shelf as well and you’ll be lucky to not experience terrible service by an employee there I recently went on November again to buy a printer; my bf asked an employee a question and he smirked and gave him the answer as if my boyfriend should have known the answer, obviously we asked a question because we are not aware and don’t know, the least the employee could do is kindly respond and not be so arrogant. By the way we never lost our cool, we were kind and patient in both situations. Hope this review helps in bettering customer service.

Peter Jackson hit it out of the park and set up fans of Tolkien’s middle earth work to cheer for the big screen. The audio (score and sound effects), crisp picture and wonderfully compelling storylines weave textures through multiple themes. This 15 disc Deluxe edition blu ray box set is by far my favorite film trilogy adapted from literature. Enjoy in 5.1 or 7.1 surround, in multiple languages, closed captioning or in Director mode. There’s something to learn with each viewing.

This is an awesome set, there is a ton of behind the scenes content. Just to note: the cases themselves are pretty fragile, so handle them carefully.

I watched these years ago on DVD, so I figured it was time to upgrade. This set is absolutely fantastic looking! Well worth it and a must have.

DON'T BUY IF YOU WANT COLLECTORS CASE!! I mainly bought this pack because the photos showed that it was an enclosed blu-ray collection, with gold trim and protective special case etc, (just look at the customer photos). Unfortunately this was not the case, it's a pretty standard slip case box for all of the blu-ray to slide in and out of in their respective film cases, but nothing special. I'm glad I got one of the last ones, because I'd had old DVD copies forever, but there is nothing really special about this. Inside each movie case was a lot of weird residue or something that I had to rub off as well. Not really happy with the box, hopefully there's nothing wrong with the films, haven't got around to watching them yet. I'd say the price should have been cheaper though I purchased it on sale, because it was advertised incorrectly and without the special edition awesome box I'd seen previously. A few of the discs have scratches as well, but IF the movies work - I'd say 4 stars is fair. ( for my photos I took out the blu-rays and the inserts to show how dirty the insides were)

The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy in its Extended Edition Blu-ray is a masterpiece collection that is an absolute must-have for any fan of the series. The extended cuts provide a deeper and richer experience, adding context and depth to the already phenomenal theatrical releases. The picture quality on Blu-ray is stunning, bringing Middle-earth to life with incredible detail and vibrancy. The 15-disc set is packed with extras, offering hours of behind-the-scenes content that any enthusiast of the films will treasure. The care and dedication put into this collection are evident, making it not just a set of movies but a truly immersive journey into Tolkien's world. A splendid and captivating experience from start to finish.

I enjoy watching the extended edition occasionally, but the theatrical cut is best in my mind. While there are some excellent scenes in the extended edition, many are fluff and derail the narrative of the films. And the extended runtime makes them a real feat of endurance to sit through compared to the theatrical versions.

Awesome movie!!! Edition SUPER!!! Lots of extra movies! I watched all the parts in one breath. I recommend this edition for collectors.
