Great Quality, exactly as advertised.

Movie came used, which is what I had ordered, and it came in the exact quality that had been described. Seller was very interested in my satisfaction and made it known with a note in the package that if anything was found wrong to please let them know and they will work to resolve. No issues were found and this completes my extended version set again after losing my copy during college.

Kids, don't loan out your movies in college.

My family enjoyed watching the extended versions of the Lord of the Rings in the past. One son took the extended DVD versions with him when he moved to his own home. We were happy to find, and view, this particular extended DVD version. It arrived in excellent condition and we are pleased to add it to our own library.

Extended Edition Fills in the Gaps

Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2018

Really enjoy the special extended edition of The Return of the King. Lots of new footage from the original movies that fill in a lot of "gaps" in the story and are quite delightful and enlightening. Some scenes are not fit for younger children, as they can be scary to some.

Maybe a little misguided in spots.

Having the National Geographic name behind a project certainly lends it a higher level of credibility, but also raises our expectations to a higher level as well. Some of the things presented in this production are contradicted by other sources - mainly about JRR's war experiences influencing the books. The section about "modern day Frodos" was a bit over the top for me, getting a little too "tree hugger-ish" for the over all theme. The sections about the loss of language and oral history was interesting, but I still felt like I was being preached to.
There are other DVDs available through Amazon.com which cover Tolkien's life and works rather well, but this is the only work to really touch on Peter Jackson's film.
The video quality was excellent, seeing clips from the movie makes me anxious for the DVD to be released. There's even some snippets from the next two films. I would have liked to see more of the 'Making of' and cast interviews and less of the 'horros of tropical deforestation' this is not the place for that sort of material. I read Tolkien and go to movies to get away from the daily worries of "should I recycle this or that" and the fears that my tuna fish sandwich may not be dolphin friendly.
For the video quality and some of the 'Behind the Movie' material, I give it a 5 star rating, but for the rest of the content I have to knock my rating down a notch
