Lord of the Rings Blu Ray

[Scott Crawley]

I have to admit a preference for the theatrical versions. Those were perfect- especially if you're not a super purist or completest about seeing more book scenes visualized. Pacing-wise they just feel better. The extended versions each feel more like the 2-day miniseries versions of the books.

The theatrical versions are gaunt action film adaptations of material that was charater rich. I wouldn't call the additional material filler, it's character development. MHO

If I could get get used to the idea of Rings being just an action picture, I guess I'd agree with you Noah.

except for the fact that they f*$%ed everyone over by delaying the EXTENDED VERSION
until after all the suckers buy this Theatrical Version SET.

Join the BOYCOTT. Do NOT buy this version. Make the distribs pay for their insolence!

This version is terrible.

The DNR and overall image quality is appalling. I can see why it would look passable on a 720p TV far enough away, but on a 1080p screen at the correct viewing distance, it's a real dud. I really, REALLY hope they fix this before the inevitable Box-set, archival extended edition...

To add: I WANT MY STAR WARS OT BLURAYS!!!1
