Peter Jackson's complete epic big screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy - filmed back-to-back and released over 3 consecutive years. In 'The Fellowship of the Rings' (2001) Frodo (Elijah Wood) is a hobbit living in the Shire, a quiet, peaceful part of Middle Earth. When it turns out that his elderly relative Bilbo (Ian Holm) is harbouring the ultimate Ring of Power and the evil Nazgul riders of Sauron are coming to find it, Frodo is entrusted by wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen) to deliver the Ring out of the Shire without it falling into their hands. Frodo leaves the Shire aided by his cousins Merry (Dominic Monaghan), Pippin (Billy Boyd) and trusty friend Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin), but they soon realise that the agents of Mordor are everywhere and that their trip is far from over. Once they reach the Elvish realm of Rivendell the Hobbits form part of the anti-Sauron fellowship, which includes Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), Boromir (Sean Bean), Legolas Greenleaf (Orlando Bloom), Gimli the dwarf and of course Gandalf. Together they must battle across Middle Earth to destroy the Ring by casting it into the Cracks of Doom, the fiery chasm in the centre of Mordor. In 'The Two Towers' (2002) the Fellowship of the Ring has now divided and Sam and Frodo are lost in the hills of Emyn Muil. They are also being followed by Gollum, a creature who promises to help them find the Mountain of Doom. Meanwhile Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli search for the hobbits Merry and Pippin in the Kingdom of Rohan, which is currently being attacked by Saruman's orc armies. Gandalf returns as Gandalf the White to remind Aragorn of his destiny to unite the people of Rohan with Gondor. Whilst the Fellowship are not travelling together they must unite against the powerful forces coming from the Two Towers: Orthanc Tower in Isengard where Saruman has bred a deadly army of 10,000, and Sauron's fortress at Barad-dûr. Finally, 'The Return of the King' (2003) won all 11 Academy Awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Gandalf manages to rally Gondor's fallen army with the help of King Theoden of Rohan for the biggest battle in the history of Middle-earth; and Aragorn finally faces up to his responsibilities. They are obviously out-numbered but are determined to keep Sauron distracted in order to enable Frodo to complete his quest to destroy the Ring by throwing it into the fires of the Mountain of Doom.

Excellent
Excellent trilogy, remember seeing this as an animated film back in the 80s must have been and whilst some more recent films may miss the mark and be OTT, this is smack on the bullseye! Forget the star studded cast, forget that sometimes it seems to be meandering a little, this is an amazing story and film. Hard to believe Peter Jackson played the nerdy Derek (as in Derek's don't run) in Bad Taste, a film I was told was great, after one viewing wasn't convinced, but is actually pretty good for what it is..... I will just point out I could shave a fraction of a star rating off as there is rather a lack of running time information on box or disc, unless I've gone blind!

Fantastic buy
Product: The films themselves don't need reviewing, hours of epic cinema that has aged very well, chances are you have seen them and buying to add to your collection or because they are not on your streaming service currently. Seller: Bargain, 3 original LoTR feature films for £3 and reasonably quick delivery. Arrived decently packaged and no damages. It was either £8 per film for a digital copy from prime or the physical collection for a few quid. No brainer.

Ottimo cofanetto compatto
Spedizione nei termini, prodotto ottimo. Uniche pecche: credevo di ricevere la versione in doppia lingua sia in Italiano che in Inglese, mentre invece mi è stato recapitato il cofanetto nella sola lingua originale.

Documentary well worth it!
I was privileged to see the Raw version of the Fellowship of the Rings Documentary witch is included in this edition. It was screened to a small group of people at the University of Oklahoma several years ago with Q&A with Mr. Botes after. He said that his desire was to archive the making of these films and then to share the processes with the audience. Seeing the two plus hours I did was a real treat. Forever will I laugh at Gandalf loosing his hat and the Ring Wraiths standing around with golf umbrellas. Not to mention Sean Astin getting his foot sliced open or the poor troll tied up in the armory. Mr. Botes mentioned at that time that a great deal of negotiation was taking place to even allow his project to be done as full length films. I am thrilled and willing to pay for the hard work of Mr. Boates and all the interns with camcorders that wandered about "Middle Earth". I suggest that if you are not a big fan then you may not want to own this, but if you are a deep fan of the books, films, realm, history, and author than I suggest having this in your collection.
