The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy (Extended Editions)

Product Information

If so that's fine by me because I only know the extended dvds (although I'd seen the theatrical ones in cinema first in each case). The quality is low compared to the Blu-rays, of course, but if you want the EEs available in more portable versions, you'll have them. While 'Fellowship' was fairly cut and dry, 'The Two Towers' has a level of comedy that is very welcome, and effective, as the gruff Gimli often finds himself on the butt end of the joke. While each film has the same four themes for its tracks, the participants do change ever so slightly, so the attributed contributors are listed for each film. As with Part I, this is essentially a "down to the last detail" duplicate of The Appendices, Part 2: From Vision to Reality disc in the previous Extended Edition DVD release.

The DVDs in the 2021 HMV BD boxset are the same as the 2011 extended BD boxset; 2x Appendices DVD per film + behind the scenes DVD per film.I also got a bit tired of the constant contrast between the wonderfully vivid, colorful moments and those that are obviously afflicted by some excessive color change stigma. You can actually see the very light grain structure of the image, which results in a far less digital and far more film-like presentation. There is little doubt in my mind that this tint effects the entire run time, but for some reason or another, some sequences become blatantly obvious while others are still pretty darned passable, as there are many sequences where there is no tint in sight, with believable grays and whites. You also get glimpses of footage and scenes that weren't used in the final films, along with alternate takes and the like.
