 We won't get fooled again...Aug 17, 2009
By C. BURNS
"The Dude"
Some confusion among other reviewers that somehow we're obligated to post a five star recommendation for the movie. This is an incorrect understanding of the review process. If I were reviewing the movie itself it would get a five. This review is for the product, as listed--in other words, I DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING THIS PRODUCT/DVD. This product is being created FOR NO OTHER REASON than to dupe people into buying this movie twice...again. Those of us who were huge fans bought the original DVDs of the theatrical releases. THEN the studio FINALLY released the extended editions, even though they could have released both at the same time. Now that Blu Ray has won the High Def battle, the studios are salivating at screwing us all again the same way!
Please do not let them get away with pretending that Blu Ray can't hold both versions on one disc--it certainly can! A simple menu option would let you watch the Extended Edition when you have time, or Theatrical Edition when you don't.
Their other argument, that "Peter Jackson is busy working on The Hobbit and will work on Extended Editions later" is 100% total BS. He's ALREADY DONE THE WORK--just copy what he did for the regular DVDs onto a new Blu Ray master!
BOTTOM-LINE: The studios will make whatever argument they think will fly to convince us they can't put both versions on one disc, because they want to double their income on this movie. Which has ALREADY MADE THEM A BILLION DOLLARS. Don't play along--let friends know not to buy ANY LOTR Blu Ray that doesn't have BOTH versions on one disc.
Please do not let them get away with holding the extended edition hostage until everyone buys the theatrical versions. If you agree with my review, you can do your part to exert influence on the studio by doing the following:

You will be disappointed with this theatrical version!!Apr 24, 2009
By Mark
If you have the LOTR DVDs(either extended or the shorter theatrical version) you will be disappointed with this release!! Wait for the extended blu ray version. Don't waste your money unless you have excess money to waste.

Was going to order it - then saw it was only the theatrical version :(Apr 17, 2009
By Sabster
And quite frankly: Screw that. You know new line will sell this copy, milk as much money as they can out of it, THEN give us the extended version on blu-ray.
I say protest! Avoid buying this until newline stops screwing it's loyal customers!

Another conDec 21, 2009
By E. Beecher
This is another attempt at milking the license without giving the consumer what they are truly looking for. DO NOT purchase this product. This is not the extended editions with complete footage, these are the "as seen in theaters" cuts. Wait for the real product to be released.

Bought this twice already!!!May 25, 2009
By Jonathan Muir
"JonEwaD"
I'm sick and tired of buying movies in different formats and in different editions. I've already bought this twice on dvd & I know an extended cut is coming so why waste more of my money on a movie I already own!
