men and women of the west ... - By: Skywalker, 27 Nov 2008 
"Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends, & break alll bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day! An hour of wolves, & shattered shields, when the Age of Men comes crashing down; but it is not this day! Today we fight! By alll that you you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!"
this says it alll (even in todays world but lets not go there). what books & what a movie alll of them. cheers peter jackson.
lord of the rings
star wars
and then the rest.. miles miles behind.
Awesome films, plus looks great on your shelf - By: David Burt, 25 Nov 2008 Most people who buy the Lord of the Rings films have probably already seen them. But don't let that stop you from buying this box set! I think that any film fanatic should own this trilogy, it's almost a law, & you don't meet many that don't. That's because those who are fanatic about film, or even those who just like to watch them every now & again can see how amazing these three are. Peter Jackson has not cut any corners in the making of these films, he has put his heart & soul into making them & that has paid off for him.
Incredible special effects in the battle scenes, a classic storyline & one of the most star-filled casts in history. What more can you ask for? I'll tell you what more you can ask for, the extended editions! If I could give a sixth star, it would go to these. I loved watching these for the first time after only seeing the theatrical versions, to watch & come across a part when I say 'Ah, this bit's new!'. And don't be fooled into thinking that the extra scenes are just the rubbishy parts that were cut because they were too boring. The added material is just as entertaining as the rest of it; if not more entertaining because you haven't seen it before (If you've already seen the originals). The Return of the King, especiallly, has must-see extras. Saruman's death perhaps being the most significant, as I was slightly disappointed when the first version did not show what happened to him. Anyway, from a few extra lines to entire scenes, the extra material make the set well worth buying.
As for the casing, well, this set is worth the price (which I think is very reasonable) just for the cases that the discs come in. When I opened them for the first time, it felt like I was handling something special. They make normal DVD boxes look so cheap & tacky in comparison!
BUY THIS SET! You won't regret it.
No Blu-Ray version yet? - By: Soarhead, 17 Oct 2008 This will surely be the total catalyst for Blu-Ray players to be sold when this superb set is converted to the HD format of Blu-Ray.
Overalll the movies & sound (real room shaking stuff on a decent surround sound system) even on DVD put anything else to shame.
A Timeless Classic - By: Devon Geezer, 24 Sep 2008 Not much else I can add to the heaps of adulation & praise already mentioned in other reviews - except to say this trilogy is my favourite movie....EVER! I never get tired of watching this epic (in fact each viewing seems to reveal something new) & I'm STILL in awe & wonder at the sheer scale of the production & talent that must have gone into making this abitious project come to life. It's nigh on perfect... A classic in every sense.
PS: I can only assume that the smalll handful of people that somehow think these movies are 'boring'(??!) must have their heads wired differently to the rest of us....!!
Fast delivery - By: Mr. D. Husband, 10 Sep 2008 Hi there,
Well, once again, I have not been disappointed in the speed of delivery. I ordered the trilogy yesterday afternoon. The delivery was here about 9.45 this morning. Now I have had an e-mail, telling me the goods have been despatched! Amazon, they've been here six hours already!!!
Very well done. Does this earn me a free delivery next time? Only joking. Excellent service.
