Lord of the Rings Box Set Blu-ray

Product Review

Release Date: 05 April 2010

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy tells the story of Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), a hobbit who battles against the Dark Lord Sauron to save his world, Middle-earth, from the grip of evil. In the films, Frodo and his fellowship of friends and allies embark on a desperate journey to rid Middle-earth of the source of Sauron's greatest strength, the One Ring - a ring that has the power to enslave the inhabitants of Middle-earth. The trilogy tells tales of extraordinary adventures across the treacherous landscape of Middle-earth and reveals how the power of friendship, love and courage can hold the forces of darkness at bay. Beside Wood, the films star Ian McKellen, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Cate Blanchett, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, featuring Sean Bean, and Ian Holm, with Andy Serkis as Gollum. The films also star Marton Csokas, Craig Parker and Lawrence Makaoare.

In this first part of the Trilogy, the young hobbit Frodo Baggins inherits a ring; but this ring is no mere trinket. It is the One Ring, an instrument of absolute power that could allow Sauron, the dark Lord of Mordor, to rule Middle-earth and enslave its peoples. Frodo, together with a Fellowship that includes his loyal hobbit friends, humans, a wizard, a dwarf and an elf, must take the One Ring across Middle-earth to Mount Doom, where it first was forged, and destroy it forever. Such a journey means venturing deep into territory manned by Sauron, where he is amassing his army of Orcs. And it is not only external evils that the Fellowship must combat, but also internal dissension and the corrupting influence of the One Ring itself. The course of future history is entwined with the fate of the Fellowship. The film won four Oscars for Best Visual Effects, Cinematography, Makeup and Original Score.

Lord of the Rings Trilogy

This Lord Of The Rings Box Set is of excellent value. Free delivery, great product and service. Films are excellent for anyone who likes a fiction but doesn't scare too easy, not for younger than 12 years old in my opinion.

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy

I got this box set from The Hut, which came out cheapest in a price comparison search. If there was ever a trilogy which deserved to be viewed on blue-ray, it's this one. Each of the three DVD cases contains a second disc with extra features, such as "the making of..." and there's about six night's viewing here altogether. Overall ... classic must have films, crystal clear picture, great value pack, a final version for the shelf/collection.

Epic!

An epic movie in all manners of the word. From the visuals to the sound to the acting - this is just one of those have-to-have box sets. The movies really do justice to JRR Tolkien's books. Absolutely superb!

Great fantasy movies

At last the simply wonderful Lord of the Rings movies come to Blu-ray - not the extended editions of the films however, though I'm sure they will be along in due course. But for the moment marvel at the fantastic picture quality and immerse yourself in middle earth.

Such good movies! I know lots of people are being a bit sniffy about these not being the extended directors cuts but if you loved the movies on dvd you'll enjoy them even more on bluray - the picture and sound are amazing! Bonus - you also only need one whole day to watch all 3!
