| Based
on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship
of the Ring is an epic adventure of good against evil, the power
of friendship and individual courage. The saga centers 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. |

- If you thought
the theatrical release was great, the Director's Cut is even
better. The 3.5 hours passs like 1 hour. This movie is so well
made. The story is well adapted from the books and the actors
all seem perfectly cast. The first 2 DVD's consist of the movie.
I know many of you don't like the fact that the movie is split
in two. At least it's better then 8 sides that you would get
on a laserdic Hee hee. I can tell you that the switch is very
well planed and fits perfectly as if it was an intermission in
a broadway play. Elrond says "You are the fellowship of
the ring" fade to black. Insert disc 2.
I had only seen Fellowship of the Rings 1 time at the cinema
then again when the 2 DVD set came out. So I didn't know it by
heart to notice all the minor changes made in the Director's
Cut. However scenes like the Elves leaving the forest and the
crossing of the swampy marshes I noticed right away. Little additions
but really cool.
Now if you love Audio Commentaries then you are in for a real
treat. 4 of them to be exact. Now this is DVD done right. The
director and writer speak on 1 track, the entire cast of 10 actors
are on another, then the design and fx teams make up the last
2. I haven't had time to go through all 4, that would take 14
hours LOL. I will update info as I listen to them.
If the set included only these 2 discs we would have had plenty
of our money's worth. But wait...there is more :D

DVD 3: From Book to Vision Apendices...
Now here you have the most awesome documentaries ever made for
a DVD. On this disc is everything from book adaptation to casting
the actors. You can tell jackson really loved the DVD format
and that he has a real love for this project and the fans. On
this disc is over 2 1/2 hours of video. It is really amazing.
And these aren't "Entertainment Tonight" documentaries
either, they explain all levels of filmaking in DETAIL. Each
making of runs between 35 and 55 minutes. It is really amazing
to see how this all got off the ground. I was surprised to learn
that Miramax was the first studio involved but wanted nothing
to do with making more then 1 film. thank god they let the property
go. Imagine having the 3 movies crammed into 1, I am sure it
would not have had the same scope and impact.

- Fans of
Niubniubs will drool at the maquette and Miniatures documentary.
To say Miniature is a joke when you see the size of these dioramas.
AMAZING. I was drooling all over myself - LOL. If I didn't work
with computers, I think this is what I would have done with my
career. The details in their miniatures encourages me to know
that there are so many tricks still for me to learn and that
my dioramas can only go even furthur - I can't wait :)
DVD 4: From Vision to Reality Apendices...
This disc covers everything from start of filming to the world
premieres. One of the most interesting of the 7 Making Of's on
this disc is the Creating Illusions of Scale documentary. You
will be amazed when you see just how many different techniques
were used to give the actors the propper "hobbit" scale.
the freakiest is the face molds put on top of the little actors.
That is FREAKY - LOL. And the story of the little Indian who
plays Frodo's double is soooo funny. If you are fans of the Simpsons
you will know why I was laughing so much. I didn't know Elijah
was such a comedian :D
Now if you are not yet convinced to buy this set...get a friend
to buy it for you this holliday season. This is a MUST for anyone
who has a DVD player. AMAZING.
