Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

There's no reason why the extended version of this trilogy should not be released on the same date. By denying the fans the extended blu-ray edition, New Line Cinemas is hoping the die-hard fans will purchase the only HD format available, then turn around in a few years and re-purchase the extended version when it finally gets released on blu-ray. The movies were fantastic, and they deserve a five-star rating. This review is for the product, however...not the movies themselves. The product is just an attempt to double-dip the wallets of fans who might be tempted to purchase this product and the extended release later. If you prefer the extended version, do not purchase this product. Voice your disgust by posting your own one-star review.
