Product Description

Product Description

Not seen in theaters, this unique version of the epic adventure features over 30 minutes of new and extended scenes integrated into the film by the director.


Amazon.com

In every aspect, the extended-edition DVD of Peter Jackson's epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring blows away the theatrical-version DVD. No one who cares at all about the film should ever need to watch the original version again. Well, maybe the impatient and the squeamish will still prefer the theatrical version, because the extended edition makes a long film 30 minutes longer and there's a bit more violence (though both versions are rated PG-13). But the changes--sometimes whole scenes, sometimes merely a few seconds--make for a richer film. There's more of the spirit of J.R.R. Tolkien, embodied in more songs and a longer opening focusing on Hobbiton. There's more character development, and more background into what is to come in the two subsequent films, such as Galadriel's gifts to the Fellowship and Aragorn's burden of lineage. And some additions make more sense to the plot, or are merely worth seeing, such as the wood elves leaving Middle-earth or the view of Caras Galadhon (but sorry, there's still no Tom Bombadil). Extremely useful are the chapter menus that indicate which scenes are new or extended.

Of the four commentary tracks, the ones with the greatest general appeal are the one by Jackson and cowriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, and the one by 10 cast members, but the more technically oriented commentaries by the creative and production staff are also worth hearing. The bonus features (encompassing two complete DVDs) are far superior to the largely promotional materials included on the theatrical release, delving into such matters as script development, casting, and visual effects. The only drawback is that the film is now spread over two discs, with a somewhat abrupt break following the council at Rivendell, due to the storage capacity required for the longer running time, the added DTS ES 6.1 audio, and the commentary tracks. But that's a minor inconvenience. Whether in this four-disc set or in the collector's gift set (which adds Argonath bookends and a DVD of National Geographic Beyond the Movie: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), the extended-edition DVD is the Fellowship DVD to rule them all. --David Horiuchi

Minimum wear. Seems almost like-new
Ordered this “used- very good condition” and was very hesitant to do so. I like to see a used item in person before I buy, especially a dvd. But just got it in the mail and it exceeded my expectations. Aside from a few little marks and slight wear on the case, it appears to be nearly like-new. While I haven’t watched all the content yet, I did put every single disc into my player to see if they work. They seem fine. The disc surfaces themselves, both top and bottom, were in near mint condition. Very pleased. So far so good and seems all legit (always seems like a risk shopping for films online). I appreciate seller go_peachy’s quick shipping and, as far as I can tell, excellent product quality. I’ve already ordered another film from them!

    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024

    I was really surprised to read some of the 1-star ratings. They seemed like spoiled infants with zero imagination. Not having grown up with Tolkien's works as a backdrop to my own experiences they can be forgiven. LOTR by P. Jackson is without doubt two things: first, it's not the book. Had Jackson tried to put all of Fellowship into his adaptation, it would have contained some of Tolkien's unforgettable characters like Tom Bombail and Glofindel among others and the movie would have easily been 5 hours long. Second, there is no doubt in my mind that those who gave Tolkien's magnum opus bad reviews had never read the books or their appendices. This work is a lifetime of genius creation that is unrivalled, even shrunk down into a 15-hour total film. As Jackson put it, they had to follow the story of The Rjng and not stray into the breadth of the legendarium that is the 1400 pages of LOTR, adding the exhaustive appendices. It takes true fans like Sir Christopher Lee and Sir Ian McCellan to bring into perspective the broad scope of this legendarium. Jackson's adaptation lost some of the rich dialogue and sublime descriptions of the original material but it captured the Quest of the One Ring supremely. Yes there are "Hollywood moments" but it's an adaptation of a tome so thick it required three very long books to complete the depth of the characters and the mind-bending descriptions of the countries visited by the Fellowship. In short, read the books first. You'll appreciate the movies more if such a thing is possible. What the heck! It even gave us the humour and by-play between Legolas and Gimli. How can anyone criticise that? An effrontery to Tolkien's life's work is how. 10 stars!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant film, superb DVD's
    Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2002

    I am a lifelong fan of the "The Lord of the Rings" and as such, I'm sure I wasn't alone in fearing that a film adaptation would ruin the magic of the story. I needn't have worried, as Peter Jackson's first installment "The Fellowship of the Ring" does a remarkable job of transferring Tolkien's work to the big screen. Yes, Tom Bombadil is absent, and Arwen is given a greater role to offer something for female fans, but the essence (along with almost all of the substance) is there.
    In the "Extended Edition" the viewer is treated to an additional half hour of footage. There is more exposition on Hobbits at the beginning of the film, the battle against the goblins and cave troll in Moria was extended, and a few other vignettes were added. However, what long time fans will be most pleased to see is Galadriel's gift giving scene. The whole scene is beautifully conceived and executed, and Sam, and particularly Gimli reveal new aspects of their personalities through it.
    Now for the specifics of this set:
    Discs 1 & 2 comprise the film and commentaries. For those of you who haven't seen the film yet, the director, Peter Jackson, chose his native land of New Zealand as the location of Middle Earth. I can't imagine that he could have made a better choice. While there is a great deal of CGI in this film, for the most part it is used to supplement, rather than replace, the landscape. For instance, a ruin might be inserted to imbue with history an otherwise gorgeous, but perhaps disconnected, landscape. As a result, the cinematography has a feeling of being grounded, of being "real", that one would never get from a George Lucas effects extravaganza.
    The film begins with a history of the Ring of Power drawn from not only "The Lord of The Rings" and "The Hobbit" but "The Silmarillion" and other of Tolkien's writings as well. While not true to the form of the novel, it does a superb job of imbuing the rest of the film with a real sense of history. In fact, throughout the film, it is Jackson's ability to ground the film in an alternate reality that makes it so successful. The viewer doesn't feel so much like they are watching fantasy, as they are watching the history of some remote time.
    I haven't listened to all of the commentary yet (at almost 16 hours, it will take a while) but the pieces I listened two were for the most part interesting and lively, which is surprising considering how dry such features can sometimes be. One thing that struck me is how much passion everyone associated with the project has for it. It really comes across that this was a labor of love, which goes a long way towards explaining why the film was so successful.
    Discs 3 & 4 are without a doubt the best collection of behind the scenes special features I have ever encountered. From the start, which is an absolutely brilliant history of Tolkien and his works, all the way through to the final post-production tweaks, the viewer is treated to an in depth, but never dull, look at the creation of Middle Earth. I rarely watch of the behind the scenes footage on other discs because it has a tendency to be dry and geared towards the real film nut. In this instance though, there is enough substance to satisfy even the most voracious film historian, while not being overwhelming to the layperson. Furthermore, all of the features are always firmly rooted in the context of "The Fellowship of the Ring"; the documentary never strays into theoretical jargon or technical challenges. Rather it focuses on how the film was made, and the obstacles that were overcome.
    In addition to the Tolkien biography that I already mentioned (and which is the best I have seen anywhere) I particularly enjoyed the features on the cast and the costumes. The cast feature does a remarkable job of showing how the primary actors really gelled into a real life fellowship of their own. And the costume feature is absolutely brilliant, as I shows the overwhelming volume of costumes, and particularly armor, that was required the make Middle Earth come alive.
    Finally, there is a National Geographic documentary on Tolkien and "The Lord of the Rings" included, although it is separate from the boxed set. It's actually a pretty good documentary in and of itself, but it is really overwhelmed by Discs 3 & 4. There is no possible way that they could have covered the length and breadth of Middle Earth to the same degree. That said, there are some interesting moments, particularly, Tolkien's fascination with the Finnish epic, "The Kalevala".
    "The Fellowship of the Ring" is the superb first installment of what is destined to be a classic trilogy of films. While not always exact in its correlation to the book, it nonetheless does an excellent job of capturing the key components of Tolkien's work: honor, duty, and above all, friendship. At the same time, the DVD's really raise the bar for what constitutes "special features". Aside from spectacular picture and sound, there are hours of fascinating features that should answer just about any question you could come up with about the film or its production.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2002

    I love the Lord of the Rings. The story, the movie, and any and all related. I first discovered the story of the one ring by watching about an hour of its animated feature. I love animation, and all the realism of the animated characters in the 'fellowship of the ring' cartoon really enamoured me at the time . Also, I had never seen a cartoon deal with such a dark issue in so human a way before. This was when I was 10, and seeing the movie again, after seeing greater works of animation, reveals many weaknesses. The greatest of which I discovered after reading books - the cartoon molested the story. But I still owe that film much gratitude for first introducing me to the exhaustive story of Sauron and the One Ring.
    A friend [Sean Mullin - thank you man] really piqued my interest in the 'fellowship' as it neared it's premiere, when he began to summarise the backstory of the ring. I was immediately very interested, and horrified [yet attracted] to the story of the Nazgul. I remember persevering through Tolkien's [long] introduction to the book just so I could see how these small hobbits would survive such terrible creatures as these Ringwraiths. The sheer palpable sense of evil was frightening and entrancing. I wanted to know the ending to the story I had seen in cartoon form so long ago. So I read the books.
    The book trilogy of the 'Lord of the Rings' is easily one of the most involving, emotional journeys I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I remember the sadness I felt at having to say goodbye to characters I had grown to love and hope for [Sam and Frodo especially - but especally Samwise the Brave]. By then, another creature had caught my interest - Gollum. Out of all the creatures in the story, his corrupted nature shocked and gripped me the most. The pictures some artists have created to capture his persona are the most disturbing and the most memorable. All these aspects truly cemented my love for Tolkien's world.
    I read these books WHILE Peter Jackson's movie was in theaters. I would read several chapters, see the movie, finish the next book, see the movie again, and so on. The fact that Peter's movie fit so perfectly in my perception of Tolkien's world, DESPITE the changes he made, really sold me out to the film. So many visuals stick in your head long after you watch the film! Especially the flying moth set against the horrific destruction of the trees around isengard, and gwaihir's triumphant soaring over the mountains of new zealand. Special mention to Howard Shore's endearing score - have you ever read the trilogy while listening to this score? It's like a blanket of imagination that keeps your visual imagery of middle-earth warm and sharply focused. His score does for the mind exactly what the film does. That word leitmotif is a great word, and Howard Shore's leitmotif's in this film keep me in awe of it's majestic splendour. My favorites are the boys choir themes of nature, rivendell's elven choir, and the chanting dwarfsmen of moria.
    Repeated viewing after reading the books DID make me feel dissapointed that great parts of the story were missing from the film, but the Special Extended Edition of the 'fellowship of the ring' more than made up for that. I can't even imagine Gandalf, Bilbo, or Samwise Gamgee as anyone other than Ian Mckellen, Ian Holm, and Rudy [I mean, Sean Astin] anymore! Seeing the film over and over, and seeing how much love Peter Jackson and the entire production crew of the films put into making the films, has helped me decide to trust their instincts, and welcome the films as a great illustration of a magnificent story.
    What the Peter Jackson crew want is to honor tolkien's world, and give us as much a joy of discovering and experiencing the story of that world, as modern technology, special effects, and excellent acting can give. The greatest strength of the films is it's crew. It's so obvious they love the story as much as we do. It feels like they are making the film to please the fans of the story, and have us in mind with every single decision. The writers of the script are as aware and in love with the story as any of us; their love affair with the stories of Tolkien probably has many more years growth than many of us.
    It's been a pleasure to experience the lord of the rings through J.R.R. Tolkien's novels, and especially through the incredible film, wonderful extra features and many deeply interesting and intimate appendices of this magnificently presented DvD.

    Ce n'est donc un scoop pour personne si la trilogie du Seigneur des anneaux est un succès phénoménale dans le monde. J'ai pu revoir avec plaisir la communauté de l'anneau tout en appréciant les 30 minutes supplémentaires comprenant des séquences inédites ainsi que des séquences avec plans additionnels dans les 2 premiers DVD. Ma séquence préférée restera sans conteste la Lothlorien dont le décor est fascinant et où Kate Blanchette interprète à merveille son rôle d'elf mystique.
    Personnellement, je n'est pas eu l'occasion de lire ces 3 grands magnifiques ouvrages de la trilogie, mais j'espère qu'un jour j'aurais l'opportunité tout comme d'autres lecteurs inconditionnels de redécouvrir et surtout de découvrir d'autres parties inédites de l'histoire.
    La cerise sur le gâteau réside cependant dans le contenu des 2 autres DVD qui sont des appendices. En effet, réaliser une trilogie comme celle du Seigneur des anneaux est une opportunité qui ne se présente qu'une seule fois dans une vie.
    L'ensemble du tournage a été filmé (dessins, peintures, accessoires, costumes, réunions, ect...) accompagnées de commentaires de Peter Jackson, des acteurs eux-mêmes et des différentes équipes (effets spéciaux, montage, son et musique, étalonnage numérique ect...).
    Je pense que c'est la partie la plus riche de cette édition, car outre l'effort que J.R.R Tolkien qui a mis plus de 10 ans à écrire cette trilogie, la réalisation de ce film relève tout de même de l'exploit (travail colossal au niveau de la réalisation des séquences et de gros investissements au niveau du matériel, des équipements et du décor).
    Ce qui m'a le plus impréssioné dans ces appendices sont les "story-boards". La façon dont les séquences ont été filmées à partir de dessins me laissent bouche B, notamment la comparaison des séquences dessinées avec celles filmées. De plus, 3 séquences dessinées sont inédites (une autre version du "prologue", "Les orques en Lothorien" et "Les rapides de Sam Gebir") car ils n'ont pu être filmées ou ont été abandonnées.
    Ce qui m'a aussi amusé dans cette partie sont les répétitions à cul-de-sac. Notamment l'interprétation de Bilbon par Peter Jackson qui m'a fait le plus rire (moment unique dans l'histoire du cinéma) et aussi le bâton de Gandalf comme manche à balais.
    L'étalonnage numérique n'est pas mal non plus, surtout la façon dont les couleurs ont été modifiées pour donner plus d'impact à l'histoire (La comparaison avec les images non modifiées est à couper le souffle!).
    Enfin, la démonstration du montage du "Conseil d'Elrond" est époustouflant montrant ainsi comment 6 prises ont été combinées en une seule séquence.
    Mais ces appendices recèlent encore d'autres merveilles qui épateront bien des adeptes de ce film. Des moments à savourer avec bonheur!
