Obviously an absolute classic, fantastic series of films. Fellowship of the Ring especially so because it's the start of the story and to me thats always the most interesting part. No complaints about the film itself.
However, make sure to check out the extended edition, if you've already seen the original or just particularly interested in this series. I didn't find out about it until after the purchase of the original. Also, there seems to be an issue with �鶹�� Video, where it doesn't recognize my 4K monitor. I haven't been able to fix that.

Why is the movie on two discs?
Reviewed in Canada on January 25, 2015
Verified Purchase
This movie and this entire trilogy is amazing. The films get 5 stars all day long and the extra footage is fantastic. So you might ask why I'm only giving it 4 stars then? There's one major issue I have with this product, and that it's a Bluray copy of LOTR, but the film is still separated on two discs. Why? There's no good reason for this when you can easily put 5 hours+ worth of content on one disc to make me change discs for the movie halfway through. There's no reason they can't put the entire film on one disc and the special features on the second disc.
I'd love to give this product 5 stars, I really would, because the cover art and extras are all amazing. But it's incredible to me that they immerse you into the film for 1.5 hrs and then rip you from the world and tell you to put in a second disc. If this was DVD I would understand, but you can easily fit the entire film on bluray.

UHD was like watching an entirely new movie, sad we didn’t go the extended route. But who says you can’t own them all? One complete set to rule them all.

There was some lag/ refreshing that happened in some scenery scenes, not sure if it’s because of our internet connection or the download of prime. But regardless this deserves nothing less than 5 stars

One of the greatest stories ever written expertly brought to life.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 9, 2025
Verified Purchase

This is a timeless masterpiece. Building on the exceptional storytelling of JRR Tolkien, Peter Jackson has brought the book to the big screen in truly stunning detail and magnificence.

There is no aspect of this film that disappoints, the visuals, musical score and cinematography are all of the highest quality. The actors were all well aware of the importance of the story and put their hearts and souls into their performances and played their roles to perfection.

It still holds up nearly 25 years after it's release. The prosthetics and make-up still look as good today as they did in the early 2000's and all bar a very few CGI effects equal those in films made today.

This Collectors edition also features dozens of documentaries detailing how the films were made and how many of the important effects like perspectives were achieved. The documentaries alone are well worth a watch.

You can tell that everyone involved in the creation of this masterpiece had a genuine love of the story and gave their all to not only bring it to the big screen, but to make it the best it could be.

Eh Oui , quand on a gouté à ce film , à tant d'élégance dans la narration , quand il y a autant de respect par rapport à l'oeuvre originale, et quand les acteurs sont si bien choisis... Nous réalisons à quel point nous sommes comblés !!! ... Réjouissance donc !!! , car ce Volet 1 de la trilogie est un pur régal !!!
Aussi , Dès ce premier volet , nous perçevons à quel point , nous avons là à faire à une FRESQUE d'une ampleur tout à fait exceptionnelle !!! ... , et non pas seulement , à un simple long métrage ambitieux ,simpliste, ou prétentieux , ...

Comme Peter Jackson a eu bien raison de choisir La Nouvelle Zélande comme lieu de tournage et la beauté des paysages de campagne , et la reconstitution de la COMTE , la très belle souplesse de la mise en scène , qui laisse la place au moments , et aux dialogues , ... Tout nous enchante !!!
Et OUI , voici une fresque colorée , multicolore, subtile et qui respire , ... SUBLIME !!!

Voici donc , le premier volet en "version longue" de l'une des plus ample et splendide AVENTURE qui soit !!!
TOLKIEN a vu GRAND !!! TRES GRAND !!! , vaste et Humain !!! Tolkien a écrit une oeuvre inouie ... ,une oeuvre flamboyante et profondément Humanisme , Et où l'AMITIE tient une place maitresse et primordiale !!!
Oui , La communauté de l'anneau est un Hymne à l'Amitié !!! ... QUE C'EST BEAU !!!
MERCI à Peter Jackson , pour cette "version longue" , qui nous permet d'aller plus loin, et d'apprécier bien des aspects coupés au montage dans la version cinéma .
BRAVO à Peter Jackson !!!! pour cette " Communauté de l'anneau " pleine de bruit et de batailles " , mais aussi !! de poésie !! de magnifiques dialogues , et pour les décors majestueux ( LA COMTE ,les paysages nombreux et superbes de la Nouvelle Zelande, Les mines de la Moria, Rivendell etc...) ... les infinis subtilitées des nuances et couleurs , ...

ET peter Jackson nous offre un 1er volet sublime de beauté ... et tout en superbe éloquence et finesse . OUI,GIGANTESQUE ET SUBLIME ....

Quand à la Musique de HOWARD SHORE : c'est un vrai bonheur pour nos oreilles ,... symphonique et généreuse , elle rythme les grands moments de façon admirable . Elle a été composée à partir des images tournée par Peter Jackson ... , elle accompagne donc nos compagnons dans leur Quête Grandiose et Désespérée !!! oui , la partition est aussi de la partie , et quelle partition !!!

Cette édition DVD est pour le moins , une édition GRAND LUXE !!!! Et ce ne sont pas moins de 4 DVD , pour un "ROYAL" coffret !!!! 2 DVD dédiés exclusivement aux bonus , qui sont très instructif !!! et très nombreux et variés , .... et nous apprenons énormément de choses sur le tournage et l'ensemble de cet immense projet .

Un vrai trésor!
Reviewed in France on February 19, 2004

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!

Brilliant film, superb DVD's
Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2002
Verified Purchase
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.
