This review is from: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Special Extended Edition (4 Discs) (Widescreen) (DVD)
This is it: the final part of "Lord of the Rings". This DVD set is 4 DVDs: the 4 hour 10 minute version of the film spread over 2 DVDs and 2 DVDs loaded with bonus materials. The coolest one is the "Aragorn battles Sauron: abandoned concept". The scene at the Black gates involving the Aragorn & the Troll was originally supposed to be Sauron in the troll's stead. I won't waste time and space in saying the synopsis of this film, other than Lord of the Rings goes out with a bang. In this extended edition you get additional scenes from the book and some other cool ones; as well as massively in-depth bonus materials. True Lord of the Rings fans will agree with Peter Jackson: the theatrical version WAS too short. Note to collector's: inside is an advertisement for a replica of Frodo's short sword, Sting which can glow blue. This film deserves all the Oscars it won. Lord of the Rings IS our generation's "Star Wars"
