About this deal

Documentaries Covering the Cast, Principal Photography, a Day in the Life of a Hobbit, Visual Effects, Post-production, Editing, Music and Sound, and the Release of the Film. Here Frodo and Sam finally get to Mount Doom, while Aragorn and company go to Denethor (John Noble) in Gondor, where they are not welcomed with enthusiasm.

Not that you’d notice, unless you were a) a massive fan or b) watching the two Blu-rays simultaneously for cross-comparison – but that doesn’t detract from the fact that there has been a change. the digital work is given its due, from the work done on Treebeard to the extensive programming done to create digital characters that have their own A. Well controversy once again rears its head in the extras section, although to a far lesser degree than that examined in the video section. The final commentary is with the cast, including Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Liv Tyler, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Bernard Hill, Miranda Otto, David Wenham, Karl Urban, John Noble, and Andy Serkis.While the commentaries are not subtitled, they are crystal clear ,easy to follow and highly interesting. covers all the Kiwi locations of the third film, while Middle Earth Atlas allows the user to track the paths followed through Middle Earth in the course of the movie. which is about Duncan (1986-2003), a young filmmaker who Jackson and company brought into the fold because Jackson saw some parallels between Duncan's work and his own. This is the next best thing to having been there when this film was made – and an extraordinary opportunity to see firsthand the talent and passion that brought Middle-earth to the screen.

By the time Legolas is surfing a dead elephant after taking it out, it’s impressive to think about the sheer scale of this movie.

As mentioned before, the images on these discs show a marked improvement over last year's initial Blu-ray release. As for the colour (color) issue - it didn't bother me as the changes seemed minor in respect to the long length of the films, and the 'feel' of only some of the scenes. This is followed by a commentary by producer Barrie Osborne, executive producer Mark Ordesky, cinematographer Andrew Lesnie, editors Michael Horton, and Jabez Olssen, co-producer Rick Porras, composer Howard Shore, visual effects supervisors Jim Rygiel and Joe Letteri, sound editors Ethan Van der Ryn and Mike Hopkins, creature effects supervisor Randy Cook, art director Christian Rivers, visual effects cinematographer Brian Van't Hull and visual effects director of photography for the miniature unit Alex Funke. Although shot back-to-back in sequence, the films were each translated to High Definition with slightly varying results when it came to the Theatrical Cuts. This film doesn't play the heroes as longtime friends (and really, on a journey this massive, one would have to become friends, or the path would be too insufferable), as they quarrel and bicker on occasion.

And the skin tones of many others, including Gandalf, look much more tanned as a result of the green/cyan dominance.

Mortenson deserves all the praise lavished upon him (and funnily enough, he does get the most praise, more so than Wood), as he provides a career re-defining performance as the mysterious, courageous ranger. It's also interesting to note that the commentators are at times a bit critical of his writing style, and are surprised that the thing was published at all. Consumer Products by Snow Commerce, which is soley responsible for the site's content and all aspects of your purchase.From the merry life of the shire to the eerie whispering of the ring to the ugliness of Saruman's snarling, growling army of orcs, the entire range of effects is treated with stalwart fidelity. A journey that will cross the whole of Middle Earth, with every inhabitant affected by the crusade of the few, the proud, the Fellowship of the Ring. Much of the furor about the colors related to some pre-release screen shots; in particular, one that showed a white screen which now boasted a distinctly pea soup orientation. The longest addition is the one that fans (and Christopher Lee) have been clamoring for since it was announced that it was snipped: the resolution of Saruman (Lee) and Grima Wormtounge (Brad Dourif).
