 THE GREATEST FANTASY FILM/TRILOGY EVER MADE October 12, 2008
2 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is without a doubt the greatest fantasy film ever made and for it to come out on blue ray would just be exquisite. If any film deserved to be on blue ray, this most certainly does and hopefully with all the extras commentaries, photos, making of, they should throw everything in it including the kitchen sink. Please dont make us wait until the Hobbit comes out in theathers, don't do that we want and need it now! Any true fan of the Lord of the Rings will go out and buy it immediately, i mysefl have only just finished the complete commentaries on disk one and am half way through disk 2 and it is so fascinating what is being said, everyone's input is soo valuable, these guys are just so smart, well done, this is the way movies are to be made! and commentaries! J.R.R. Tolkien would have been pleased, the books are and still will be the definitive version but Andrew Jackson's masterpiece will endure and as for fantasy films it is king. Runners up would be the Sinbad movies (Ray-Harry's clay monsters awesome) Clash of the titans, Dragon slayer, the argonauts and Herc's (with Christopher Reeves) movies. I would love someone to take the same approach and passion toward the Elric of Melnibone, saga of the white wolf, by Michael Moorcock, next to Lord of the rings this is one of fantasy's greatest saga's, the saga of the black sword Stormbringer. Also of notable mention, the Dragonlance Chronicles by Tracy Hickman and Margarett Weiss, these two films deserve the royal treatment and should only be directed, written by people who like Andrew Jackson had a passion for such films, or like Sam Raimi had for Spiderman. Then we would all be in for an immense treat for the Moorcock film, the character Elric is a majestic, complex character who is just so interesting and who would be fantastic to see on screen, he's an albino completely white and strange looking yet interesting and the world is a visual majesty of strange and wonderous things, there's a part where he's riding on the leathery back of a dragon! As for Dragon lance the characters, the story all have major cinema production on it and effects by lucas film or even Weta workshop, i mean they filmed Eragon which cannot compare to DragonLance and certainly not Elric so why not film the classics, the books that deserve to be brought to the big screen and become history. A final movie would be the Conan movie, well done, scripted and with Arnold back this time as King Conan.

I saw this broadcast by FiOS in 1080i on a poor quality Olevia 37" 720P LCD. (Don't buy Olevia - junk, junk, junk - antagonistic service.) BUT LORD OF THE RINGS was still GREAT! The video was greatly improved over DVD upconvert.
I hope the sound will keep up. Hopefully the HD sound will be just as impressive.
I expect the time needed is to make it full featured and compatible for the Blu-ray profile 1.3 or even profile 2 if it's not out by 2010. Imagine what the interactive part could be. Blog this thing up!!!

I have the extended version of the Trilogy (and also the theatrical release DVD's which I never view any more) and I am hoping that the Blu-Ray Trilogy release will be the extended version !! - As was said in another "Review", these are just comments and not actual reviews as none of us have a copy of the Blu-Ray Release!! I have watched the regular extended version of the Trilogy on my Blu-Ray Player and the quality of the "upscaling" or "upconverting" of the DVD's is absolutely excellent! They actually look better than some of the Blu-ray movies I have. So hopefully the mastering of the Blu-ray version of the Trilogy will be created in resolutions far beyond the current Blu-Ray technology so that when new generations with higher resolutions of HD-TV's and Blu-Ray Players finally hit the market the next 5 years, they will only have to re-release the Trilogy without re-creating another version compatable to the Next Generation Resolutions. Anyway, I am looking forward to buying a copy of the Blu-Ray Release - This Movie sets a new standard and sets the bar so high as far a quality and attention to detail that many movie makers are still trying to catch up. but most of all - it's so true to the telling (adaption) of Tokens' original story to the Visual Arts that the overall Box Set of the Trilogy has past from Legend to a living Myth in the experience of watching all three back to back - and they will Never be forgotten or lost to history.
No LOTR Blu-Ray before 2010 June 24, 2008

I just thought I'd post this here to keep people informed that Peter Jackson did recently say in an interview to not expect LOTR on Blu-Ray before 2010 because they are too busy working on The Hobbit. He did say it's in the works which is a good thing but we all have to wait till 2010 which just seems so far away. I will def. be buying this trilogy the day it comes out no matter the cost.
