With out a doubt the greatest set of movies
ever created!! There are other great movie
series', but this one tops them all!!!

On the extended dvd releases of Lord Of The Rings,
there are "Easter Eggs" on all of the LOTR discs! To
find them, go to chapter selection, then go to the
last set, then scroll down to the bottom til you see
a ring!

This is the entire Lord Of The Rings set of movies,
including the Hobbit trilogy!

LORD OF THE RINGS:
THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS(2001):

An absolutely wonderful start to a phenomenal
set of movies!! A great story(from JRR Tolkien),
gorgeous settings, great script, awesome music
and a timelessness that will outlive me!! A tale
of honor, courage, friendship and loyalty, and
an absolute must see!!!!!! A+++

From IMDb.com:

I absolutely love this movie, partly because the
acting is really good, but also for the CGI effects
and the good storyline. I watched the extended
version and realized that it isn't boring like some
people think because some people I know think
that FOTR is quite a lengthy movie because of
all the talking, but in my opinion, if there's not
talking, there's no story! If they just jumped to
the fighting scenes without any of the introduction,
then you won't know where the movie started
from. I love the scenes where they get to fight,
whether Orcs or Nazgul, the fighting scenes are
still the climax of the movie.

Another good movie to see after FOTR is TTT,
of course. It is the second part of this great trilogy
and there are more climatic scenes. Most probably,
you'll enjoy that more than FOTR but don't shun
this movie just because it's a bit lengthy.

Overall, it's a great movie to see and it is really
worth spending the money to buy/rent the
extended/special DVD to watch too. Definitely
a 10 out of 10 on my scale! Actually, in my
opinion, 10/10 doesn't even come close! - Sheryl

This introduces a few new characters, including
Golum, Theoden, Treebeard and others! An obvious
set-up movie for the last movie(as the book was)
this still has a lot of action and important story
line to it! We also see the end of a few of the
main characters! Another great movie!! A+

From IMDb.com:

Peter Jackson truly outdid himself when creating
the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
and he fails to disappoint us in the 2nd part of
the Trilogy. The Two Towers shows us that he
is not a one-hit wonder, like so many directors
are. I actually think that The Two Towers reaches
the same level as the Fellowship of the Ring,
and sometimes even surpasses it.

This film is the biggest film in the trilogy.
What do I mean by that? Well this film has
so many things going like the amazing Battle
of Helms Deep. Frodo and Sam journey to
Mount Doom, to destroy the Ring. But the
one who's leading them through the way
is Gollum, he looks so creepy and realistic,
that he doesn't feel disconnected from us.
A powerful performance by Andy Serkis
as Gollum, he should of been nominated
for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

The Best part of the film, is quite easily
and everyone knows it the ending. The
ending of the battle of Helm's Deep is
quite breathtaking, and as Gandalf the
White comes in the distance with another
army to defeat the Orcs. When Treebeard
and his army of Entz tear down Isengard,
the destruction and the battle is so immense
in size, that you truly have to see to believe.

In size and scale, Peter Jackson has truly
redefined the word "epic" and he also pays
attention to the small things that truly
elevate this movie from great to amazing.
I definitely recommend this film to everyone,
but you really should watch the first movie
to truly understand what's going on.

10/10 - Grey Gardens

A phenomenal ending to the greatest set of movies
ever created!! And so the Hobbits, Humans, Trees,
Dwarfs, Elves and Wizards take on the greatest evil
ever to assemble in Middle Earth! Some will live,
some will fall, but the story lives on in all those
who have watched this amazing trilogy! A+++

From IMDb.com:

Thousands of comments have been made on this
outstanding production and there is little left to
write that has not already been written or said.
Again, not surprisingly at last night's 'Oscars', the
third film in the trilogy took most of the awards.
Like others I could give glowing comments about
content, acting, production, direction, visual
effects etc. but will instead, convey what I consider
to be equally important; that is the realistic and
accurate portrayal of a classic masterpiece of
literature from one of the world's most imaginative
authors. I have tried and failed three times to
completely read the book and I enjoy reading,
but feel that I could now do so and have a better
understanding of the story - only because I know
that Peter Jackson set out to retain accuracy of
the story. Sometimes our own imagination lacks
the ability to see exactly what the author intended
and if a film can help that, then it only adds to
the experience. By timely coincidence as I write
this my computer screen saver has put up a
picture of a mountain valley in New Zealand - it
must know what is in my mind. That beautiful
country was perhaps the ideal setting for the
film with its mystical landscape punctuated
with mountain valleys, rivers, forests and open
spaces. It cannot be far from what may have
been in Tolkien's own mind.

I would perhaps add one comment about content.
Although there was much reliance on computer
visualisation it was well-balanced by emotional
acting like the characters Gollum and Gandalf.
Although Gollum was a villain, I actually was
made to feel sorry for him at the end. Too many
potentially good films are spoilt by substituting
acting for over indulgence in special effects.
This is an art that the producers and directors
of this film had exactly right.

I hope that the success of this trilogy will
herald a new era in film-making of classical
stories. Our literature has a wealth of candidates,
and even ones that have been tried could be
re-visited now that such experiences as Lord
of the Rings have proved financially viable
and immensely popular. - d.tolfree

This set is released in the worst possible way:
three discs stacked on each other!! WTAF!!

THE HOBBIT 1:
AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY(2012):

This starts out really REALLY slow!!!! It doesn't
pick up until about 3/4 of the way through the
movie! But the battle against the Goblins and
the final battle against the Orks are quite fun!

We also have the single release of this movie
that has several specials on it!! B

From IMDb.com:

This was too long... way too long. There is no
reason to extend the movie to this length. The
only reason I could see is that Peter Jackson
doesn't have anybody who could say no to him.
The pacing drags way too much in too many
places. He tries desperately to add whimsy to
this movie. However the slow pace and the
hokey characterization really causes a lot
of problems.

Of course, this movie has all the Lord of the
Ring grand scale... as expected. That and
the fact that the characters are likable and
the story watchable means it can't get anything
lower than 7 out of 10.

I certainly hope Peter Jackson will get a better
editor next time who has the guts to say no to
him. Let's tighten up the story, Peter. - SnoopyStyle

A much MUCH better film than the first,
this actually starts out good and ends great!!
Almost as good as the LOTR movies! This even
has several of the characters from the first series! A-

From IMDb.com:

The second Hobbit film connects you better to
the characters than the first in an entertaining
ride with more danger, excitement, and humor.
The action is well done, and the 3D adds to it,
especially in the "whitewater rafting" scene.
That part and the whole movie has good editing.
In this one, two of the non-King dwarfs' presence
is stronger (Balin and Kili). The she-elf warrior
Tauriel and what comes with her works, adding
some heart to the film.

Besides Richard Armitage leading the way as
the King under the Mountain with his great
chemistry with fellow castmates, there are
three actors who give specially noteworthy
live-action performances. Lee Pace is one of
the true highlights as Thranduil, who is an
Elf King that deals with foreboding in a way
that is different from Elrond. Ian McKellen's
acting is comparable to him in The Lord of
the Rings trilogy, as he takes advantage of
Gandalf getting his own storyline and
heart-pounding action scene. Martin
Freeman is good once again as the brave
titular character, and actually slightly better.

The confrontation with Smaug is very enjoyable.
It is a long movie, but the finale is the high
point. Benedict Cumberbatch does an excellent
job with the arrogant beast's voice, and the
dragon looks really cool in 3D. I personally
think that they ended it at the perfect place.
When they divide a book up, it will inevitably
result in a cliffhanger feeling. But, I am satisfied
with how they handled it. - RealDuality

This starts out great, the middle is great, and the
ending worthy of JRR Tolkien's book!! A much
better ending of the series than beginning!! A+
