THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING: The saga centres around an unassuming Hobbit named Frodo Baggins who inherits a Ring that would give a dark and powerful lord the power to enslave the world. With a loyal fellowship of elves, dwarves, men and a wizard, Frodo embarks on a heroic quest to destroy the One Ring and pave the way for the emergence of mankind. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS: The Fellowship has divided and now find themselves taking different paths to defeating Sauron and his allies. Their destinies now lie at two towers—Orthanc Tower in Isengard, where the corrupted wizard Saruman waits, and Sauron's fortress at Barad-dur, deep within the dark lands of Mordor. THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING: Frodo and Sam, led by Gollum, continue their dangerous mission toward the fires of Mount Doom in order to destroy the One Ring. Aragorn struggles to fulfil his legacy as he leads his outnumbered followers against the growing power of the Dark Lord Sauron, so that the Ring-bearer Frodo may complete his quest.

    Any LOTR buffs dare to comment on the quality of the cut?

    I know the lighting etc was changed in some versions.

    None shall pass!

    Or lets go on an adventure?

    • Make it so on 06/05/2021 - 15:56

      Hands-down, the highest quality disks I ever owned. The only ones to do full credit to an OLED tv.

      • solidsnek on 06/05/2021 - 15:59
        +43

        Gandalf's appearance at Helm's Deep in 4K w/ Dolby Vision on an OLED was as close to a religious experience as I've ever had.

        • Sprintz25 on 06/05/2021 - 16:23

          Can you please confirm how many disks this is and if ext and theat versions are all in 4K?

          Literally cant find this info in any of the ads from major sellers or on Amazon and Amazon has a 9 disk version for $119, very confusing.

          Thanks in advance.

          • TheProbe on 06/05/2021 - 16:42

            @Sprintz25: This is the 9 disk set. All disks are 4k, there is no normal blu-ray disks.

            Each film has 3 disks. 1 Disk for Theatrical Cut, 2 for Extended.

            • Sprintz25 on 06/05/2021 - 17:19

              @TheProbe: Awesome, have placed order, cant wait for it to arrive. Thanks

        • Make it so on 06/05/2021 - 19:57

          Haha, so true. When I bought an OLED, the main thing I could think of is what these movies would look like once released on 4k. The aura of the White Wizard really comes through :)

    I heard after the successful release of Snyder cut Justice League, Peter Jackson was going to release another extended version of the 3 films that goes for 4hrs each. Too bad that rumor was fake. Would have enjoyed it.

        Technically, it was successfully released

      • Hero on 06/05/2021 - 17:55

        When I say successful, i meant that it actually got released. :)

        • petry on 06/05/2021 - 20:53

          threw money at it in an attempt to salvage the franchise and probably made it worse in the process…so thats sort of a success in some eyes….

  • Alaken on 06/05/2021 - 15:57

    Will there be any other versions or is this the final version?

    • Ethan Bargain-Hunt on 06/05/2021 - 17:21

      There should be a 20th anniversary bundle coming out with the Hobbit included, but I'm not too sure whether there's a confirmed date.

    Huge LOTR fan here but I had the extended version, adds so much fluff and movie ends up being more disjointed

    • solidsnek on 06/05/2021 - 16:00

      Peter Jackson agrees with you.

    • Orpheon on 06/05/2021 - 16:30
      +9

      Extended Edition scenes weren't added in later, they were intended to be included in the theatrical release but had to be cut to fit everything into the mandated 2.5 hour rule set by New Line Cinema.

      The end result being missing out on some critical scenes that were fully filmed and completed in post that change the entire narrative, such as Faramir's flashback to his relationship with Boromir, Saruman's defeat and death at the hands of Wormtongue, and Aragorn's gambit with Sauron to lure out his forces.

      It's a marathon, but it was always meant to be.

      • solidsnek on 06/05/2021 - 16:59
        +1

        This actually is not correct. Just Google 'Peter Jackson Extended Editions' or similar and you will find he believes the theatrical editions are the superior version and the Extended are really just some fan service.
        To quote the director:
        “The theatrical versions are the definitive versions. I regard the extended cuts as being a novelty for the fans that really want to see the extra material.”

        • entropysbane on 06/05/2021 - 17:30
          +5

          But then he moved on to destroy the hobbit, which should have been one four hour flick called “There and Back Again, a Hobbit’s Tale” subtitled “as it should have been with no frickin wood elves having shenanigans with dwarves”.

          • [Deactivated] on 06/05/2021 - 18:17
            +3

            @entropysbane: I would blame MGM more than Peter Jackson — Jackson essentially had to inherit the job from Del Toro who had a different vision for the entire thing, so naturally it didn't work out as great as it could have been.

        • Jebus on 06/05/2021 - 17:52
          +3

          Nowhere in that statement does PJ refer to the theatrical cut as superior. Definitive does not mean better, it's simply the final cut as they intended it to be for release to the wider public. It is the version it was, and will always be judged on.

          For the record I don't think all the extended editions are superior than the theatrical cuts, Fellowship of the Ring is perfect as is. Personally I think The Two Towers and RotK are much more enjoyable with the added context that the extended versions bring.

          • solidsnek on 06/05/2021 - 21:26
            +2

            @Jebus: I think he does infer the theatrical versions are superior: “Every time [I add something in] I think I’m spoiling the film, but I’m doing it because people want to see it and they’ll see it in their home.”

            For the record, I agree with you. Two Towers and ROTK benefit more from the extra scenes, but I still feel they mess with the pacing a tad. I'm just pointing out that the popular opinion in the LOTR community that the extended editions are the definitive versions are not so in the directors eyes. Like what you like, makes no difference to me:)

      • fuzor on 06/05/2021 - 16:45

        Do you mean for gaming or is this for movies as well? I'm assuming it has HDR10 then, are the two formats similar in quality?

          For both. HDR10 and Dolby vision are pretty similar but Dolby Vision is slightly better, most wouldn't even notice

  • Kezrez on 06/05/2021 - 16:59

    Is there a legal 4k version of this which one could download?

    I don't have anything to play DVDs on anymore, let alone blu-ray, and LotR 4k extended is one of the few films I would actually like access to whenever I am in the mood to watch it (whereas most other films I'll watch in any quality when they show up on a streaming service).

    • TightTerry on 06/05/2021 - 17:02

      Yes i believe you have can buy them through itunes

      • Elijha on 06/05/2021 - 17:30

        Can't download and store it though… 4K is streaming only right.. and only through the Apple TV app where it exists or 4K appleTV?

        • TightTerry on 06/05/2021 - 17:35

          Oh you can’t actually download the 4K iTunes media only stream it? Well I don’t think there is legally a way to download the 4K versions of these films then. You would have to rip them from these Blu-ray’s to have them digitally stored

          • rakeem on 06/05/2021 - 18:51

            @TightTerry: maybe he could buy warner bros ?
            should be ok then

    • entropysbane on 06/05/2021 - 17:34

      There was a box set deal for the 4K extended versions of LOTR on iTunes, $49.99 before Christmas.
      The quality for a stream is pretty damn impressive, best I have ever seen. Dolby vision and atmos.

      There is the risk though that whoever holds the rights pulls it off iTunes, and you lose it, which would not be the case with a BR disc set.

      • entropysbane on 06/05/2021 - 19:21

        Forgot to mention that included the hobbit as well. And it was $45.
        So a fantastic deal.

      I remember years ago seeing Jackson saying that they may redo the effects a specific example he gave was Gollum in the LOTR movies as he evolved design wise as they released each film and this would be something they would likely do it or a 20th release.. have you heard if this sort of edit is being done?

      • Steakz on 06/05/2021 - 17:47

        Not sure about lotr, but i remember seeing something about hobbits cgi being improved.

    • eagerfisherman on 06/05/2021 - 18:26

    On a side note, I could have sworn I watched these at the cinema in 3d, but after looking everywhere for 3d bluray versions it seems none exist. I know I saw Hobbit in 3d and I can find that. Am I going crazy or was there a theatrical release of this in 3d (one would expect that if there was, it would have easily been made into a bluray for extra sales)

      Depends on your tv. If you have an LG or Sony tv with Dolby Vision, you'd want a Dolby Vision compatible player. The Sony UBP-X700 is not bad. The Dolby Vision compatible players tend to cost more than the players which do HDR10+, which is what you'd need for a Samsung tv. Most players seem to only do one format or the other.
