The Hobbit Trilogy Extended Motion Pictures: 15 Disc Complete Epic DVD Collection + Never Before Seen Footage & Art Card

Loved this series. Have played it so much while crocheting that I can recite the dialog with the actors.

So great!!!! Thank You!!! Perfect condition and included a promo picture card. Nice!

We watched all three of these, three nights in a row. It is even better to have them on DVD than it was to see them in the theater, for us. Epic movies like this, tend to have a lot of battle scenes and scenes filmed in almost darkness. It's very hard if you have any hearing difficulty whatsoever, to follow everything being said and done in a theater. We always play movies with the captions on at home, and it has made a world of difference with this movie in particular. You can choose from several different languages and have subtitles in a language other than the audio as well.Very glad that we got this set! It's frustrating that everyone is moving more and more to pay streams for movie watching. You can pay for a couple services each month for 6 months, and then switch them around, yes. But this way, you have a good quality copy of this movie even if you don't have the particular streaming service that it might be running on at any given moment. It's the main reason that we get any movie on DVD anymore.

I know many have/had issues with this trilogy.Personally, I knew it was coming from a book meant for a junior audience so I expected it to be lower brow than LOTR.I also absolutely love the fact that it was made at all, there was serious doubt for a while.Could it have been better? Sure.Is it worth purchasing? Absolutely.Since Amazon.ca wanted the equivalent of a mortgage payment (again) for the Extended 3D edition, I purchased from Amazon.com.I'm absolutely delighted with the films as presented on disc.The 3D is predominantly subtle ( as I suggest it should be) and my 60" plasma with my surround stereo provided an impeccable experience that was FAR FAR better than that provided by the movie theatre.Of course, the 2D version of each film is included and after initial viewing in 3D, suffices for me for repeat viewing.The extras are vast and would eat up a week-end to view. Lots of fun though, as PJ always instills a sense of humour in his presentations.Do I want the Silmarillion to be made into a movie?Well what JRRT geek wouldn't?But maybe 10 years from now (same break as LOTR and Hobbit believe it or not).And to make even just 3 films, we would need a helluva prologue ( and epilogue) via narration, with just a focus on the battles, with the Beren, Turin and Gondolin stories the focus of each film in the trilogy.Anyway, for Tolkien geeks this is a must buy, for others, borrow or rent it, then decide.

Some customers seem to be having trouble ordering the right set. I can see the problem - double-dipping doesn't even cover the sheer number of different releases: Theatrical cuts, extended cuts, 3D special editions and box-sets make for a real headspinner.I had been waiting three years for this release, so I did my homework.I received the edition I wanted - partly as I made sure of the release date. If you want the 3D extended box set do the same. Make sure it was the edition released on 17 November 2015, and that it is the most expensive. If you see a cheaper option it isn't this set.So I got what I wanted. The fact that the carrier lost it on the way the first time I ordered it, and that this was the second Blu-Ray in a row I ordered from Amazon recently where this happened is another story... They made up for it by getting me a replacement within the week, but they still lost it.

A great series of movies for any lover of fantasy, hobbits, elves,dwarves and especially...dragons! This is Tolkein's masterful story of Bilbo Baggins, the tiny Hobbit from the Shire, taking on Smaug, the fearsome dragon, and all of the fantastic adventures in between. Peter Jackson retells the story wonderfully (although with a few artistic liberties). I've seen these movies before, but my husband watched them for the first time. He really enjoyed them. I highly recommend these.

These are blurays of the motion picture version of the three movies.They are NOT extended, NOT directors cut, NOT special editions etc. There is no box art or anything significant packaged with the movies.Yes, these are from the UK, but they work with US players.If you simply want the three theatrical cut movies, then this is a good buy. If you want something special, look elsewhere.
