The complete Fellowship for the total Tolkien fan
This is the complete, unabridged, extended version of the film. It is an exhaustive look into both how the first film was made, including dvd extras into WETA, filming on location, interviews with Jackson, all the actors, costumes, sets, models, artists, composers, SFX, and even a look into how Tolkien's written world was translated into film. I received this one as a gift and I plan on getting the other two to complete the collection. Overall it is about a good day's worth of dvd extras to watch.

excellent
This is an excellent dvd! The added scenes, though they make the movie even longer, really add to making making the story much clearer. It is well worth the cost!

Incredible
Having been only introduced to the world of Tolkien about 2 years ago (through The Hobbit) I'm sure you would either call me clinically insane or very passionate, since I have in that short time seen each of these three films 17 times and read the books 4 times each. That's because the story of The Lord of the Rings is one of the most beautiful and detailed stories I have ever come across.
Having read the books before seeing the (extended) films, I was naturally a little skeptical because most movies based on books are at best subpar to the quality of the original novel. Fortunately, these movies (particularly these Extended Editions) are the exception to the rule; Peter Jackson has successfully brought the beauty of Tolkien's writing to the silver screen. I am grateful that my first LOTR viewing experience was the EEs, rather than the theatrical editions, because so many scenes that are either crucial to the plot of the story or just special to the book's fans have been added back in. My personal favorite extended scene in Fellowship is Galadriel's gift-giving, as Sam's rope plays an important part later on in The Two Towers.
Two thumbs up to Peter Jackson - let's hope Guillermo del Toro doesn't let us down in The Hobbit.

Sweet
Fantastic. I haven't gotten through every disc since I got all 3 sets. The statues are cool.
