" ... I noticed a lot of scathing reviews of a supposed "bootleg" or "knockoff" version they have bought of this Blu-ray extended edition with French script written on it. ... It was released by a now-defunct DVD/Blu-ray distribution company named "Alliance Films" that later was assimilated by a larger distribution company, though I can't recall the name. ... This set includes Region A (Blu-ray) and Region 1 (DVD) discs. ... The movies are split onto two Blu-ray discs in each set. ... Personally, I like the idea of them being split onto two discs each. ... The discs themselves seem to be three different sets per case. ... The two Blu-ray discs seem to be from a standalone extended edition Blu-ray set, the two appendices DVD discs seem to be from the extended edition DVD boxset and the fifth disc seems to be from a limited edition release set that corresponds with it's set color. ... If you want just the extended films and bonus discs, then this set is for you. ... "
" ... Fifteen beautiful discs of three gorgeous, uncut movies. ... "
" ... The Extended Edition Blu-ray (which is what I bought) is something different. ... "
" ... The packaging is great: the box resembles a book, and unhinges to reveal the three DVD cases inside. ... The quality of the DVDs is outstanding--no problems experienced during the viewing whatsoever. ... "
" ... However the discs were still intact and I could play them. ... "
" ... Has the extended versions in blu ray plus incredible amount of extras - can't believe I got this for as little as I did. ... "
" ... Had the DVD extended editions for years and just recently bought them on Blu Ray with all the extras and love it so far! ... "
" ... So yeah, I was looking forward to having both versions on Blu Ray in a single box set, but I am happy enough with the extended version. ... "

" ... Movies are great - I've seen them before but wanted a bluray box set for keeps. ... "
" ... Has all the deleted scenes and all the features in BEAUTIFUL 1080P 😙 ... "
" ... Although I am a 4K advocate, these Blu-Ray versions are still very good quality. ... Watching these movies on a 4K television with a 4K Player which if I am correct upscale the look from 1080 to 2160HD is awesome. ... Buy this if you don'e wanna spring for the 4K versions right now. ... "
" ... It contains all three “Lord of the Rings” films (extended versions, of course) with glorious high definition video and DTS-HD Master multi-channel audio, plus a plethora of bonus features as well. ... "
" ... Great movies and looks good on a 4K UHD TV. ... "
" ... I felt like I was watching a new movie altogether the definition of the blu ray was SHARP. ... "
" ... The only criticism I might have is that the bonus material isn't in Full HD quality, but I'm also not watching the bonus material for the picture quality, so it's not that big of an issue. ... "
" ... What's not to love about the greatest trilogy extended into even more greatest all in bluray hd. ... "

" ... This is just the films themselves, doesn’t have all the extra bonus features and everything. ... "
" ... I only watched some of the bonus features ("Appendicies" on production) but what I have seen is pretty cool. ... "
" ... The extra features were done so well it was like seeing the movies as if I was there. ... "
" ... Love the extended versions and the special features are some of the best and most extensive out there. ... "
" ... With all the bonus features we had no complaints with this set. ... "
" ... And there's a ton of special features ... "
" ... I haven't explored any bonus features or listened to the director's commentary, so I can't speak to those, but the films themselves are beautiful, and the price of this Blu Ray set was what I paid for just one of the movies when they were released on DVD over a decade ago. ... "
