Product Description
Amazon.com Essential Video
Of the four commentary tracks, the ones with the greatest general appeal are the one by Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, and the one by 10 cast members, but the more technically oriented commentaries by the creative and production staff are also worth hearing. The bonus features (encompassing two complete DVDs) are far superior to the largely promotional materials included on the theatrical release, delving into such matters as script development, casting, and visual effects. The only drawback is that the film is now spread over two discs, with a somewhat abrupt break following the council at Rivendell, due to the storage capacity required for the longer running time, the added DTS ES 6.1 audio, and the commentary tracks. But that's a minor inconvenience. Whether in this four-disc set or in the collector's gift set (which adds Argonath bookends and a DVD of National Geographic Beyond the Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), the extended-edition DVD is the Fellowship DVD to rule them all. --David Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesome Classic Movie,
By
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Special Widescreen Extended Edition) (4 Discs) (DVD)
The Fellowship of the King, Extended Edition is a classic movie that is well worth the watching. It is loaded with action, full of fun, and emotionally draining from start to finish in a most delightful way. Peter Jackson's talent as a director shows through with characters who portray their parts brilliantly as Tolkien himself had created. Nothing is lost in the extended version and we become more acquainted with the actors in the 2 added Appendices filmed during the movie creation. What a great movie! Two thumbs way up!!!

LOVED IT!,
By
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Special Widescreen Extended Edition) (4 Discs) (DVD)
I was one of a few who missed THE LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS at the theatres, as I didn't know if I'd be interested. Although I knew about the books, I was never interested in reading them also.I actually didn't see the film until it was released on DVD (the non-extended version). I borrowed it from a friend. I sat through it and boy was I ever shocked. When the movie ended, I felt almost embarrassed because I actually got up in my living room, by myself, and clapped. I could not believe that I missed this at the theatres where the impact would have been much greater. I raved to everyone about how great this movie was - of course, they already had seen it. So I felt behind the times. I could not wait until the release of the Extended version on DVD, which I now own. I learned my lesson and will listen to my friends on movies like this. Bottom line - just watch this and enjoy yourself. Cheers to everyone involved with the making of this movie.

Lord Of the Rings Extended Version=Good Buy,
By LOTR_gurl (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (Special Widescreen Extended Edition) (4 Discs) (DVD)
Lord Of the Rings is just one of those movies that surpasses all others. So, why buy the extended version (the Fellowship Of the Ring)? Well, as an owner of this dvd, I can tell you that it never gets boring and you never really think of it as a waste of money. I have owned my copy for a year already and I still haven't watched the whole thing. If you are one of those people who compare the differences between the book and the movie, than this is for you. It is also more accurate. This is also a great gift for Elijah Wood fans.
