The Lord of the Rings: Theatrical Version - 3-Film Collection [DVD]

It's a monumental success that the Academy has recognized. Peter Jackson has achieved greatness and at Best Buy this product is at the right price!

The Lord of the Rings trilogy from the J.R.R.Tolkien books is a real treasure. The story is great, there is lots of action and the moral overtones are certainly thought provoking. The world of Middle Earth as it is portrayed brings the books to life in a most satisfying way. Tolkien fanatics find that some of the changes that were made to the story and some of the characters and events are tragically unnecessary but I find that this does not take away from the magnificent scope of the story as it is presented. The Lord of the Rings trilogy is, I think, the best of the great fantasies as it centers on adult characters and themes rather than the younger characters of Harry Potter and Twilight.

This package contains all three movies (theatrical editions) in the Lord of the Rings trilogy for only $10. This is a pretty good deal if you just want to have the original movies for your own collection. The only drawback is that there are no extras or bonus materials. I would not recommend this to hardcore fans. You may prefer a package that has the extended editions of the movies and other behind the scenes materials. Also, at the time of purchase there was a Blu-Ray version of this package for $13. I don't have a blu-ray player but if I did I would have gotten that version instead.

This is the third time I have bought them. One set for each household and mine. They love the story lines and cast. There are themes of true friendship, hard work, comedy and forgiveness. Some scary moments and weird costumes for the actors. A lot of fight scenes and a few scenes with ghosts.

Lord of the Rings is one of my favorite film collections. The DVD collection is affordable and you get to own the whole collection. This is however no bonus features and perhaps you may be more interested in an extended edition collection. The Two Towers and Return of the King are stunning films.

I bought this set knowing very little about the Hobbit series, hoping to get a little understanding of what the storyline was. This is an excellent series of movies with amazing graphics and continuous action throughout. Some of the action is a little over-the-top and far-fetched, but it still makes for a great story and leaves you wanting more. It is worth watching again I would highly recommend this set to any fan and makes me look forward to the next movie in the series.I would highly recommend this set to any fan of the Hobbitt.

I really enjoy watching this trilogy with the family. Having these movies to watch whenever we want along with the excellent quality of them makes this a good buy.

I have this trilogy in my list of many favorites movies i have but they were so expensive and when i saw they were on special i never doubt it to get it, no many people appreciate this kind of movies but wherever has to do to with wizards, dragons or else this is the best trilogy ever, now i can cross it from my list
