I remember reading on Amazon that this was going to have DVD's in addition to Blu discs. What a waste.

Oh, and Bob, I think you forgot to say that "Beastly" with Alex Prettyfer and Vanessa Topless Hudgens comes out today.

Yes, I'll be getting myself a copy. I finished reading "Breaking Dawn" a few weeks back, so I need something to tide me over until BD Pt. 1 comes out.

He didn't forget Beastly, he just realized most of us don't care.

You used this review to take some rather cheap shots. Seriously, how does your opinion of Fathom's progrmming decisions affect this bluray release in any way shape or form? And as to Hayden Christensen, besides the fact that he again has nothing to do with the issue at hand, he's no worse than Mark Hamill was in A New Hope. All the problems people have with the prequel trilogy were just as present  in the original trilogy. The prequels just don't have 35 years of worship masking their sins.

wow doublec, you couldn't be more wrong in my opinion.  The original trilogy is far superior to the prequels of star wars. That's why it will never be know as the saga in the fan world, it will be know as the prequels and the originals.  Christensen doesn't deserve all the blame but the guy can't act and even though Hammil is no Marlon Brando he was ten times better than Hayden.  Though to be fair there is a reason why neither one of them became Harrison Ford. 

I could make comparisons if you need me to as to why the original trilogy was a far better set of movies than the prequels that has nothing to do with 35 years of fan worship.  Though if we do I will pick on Jedi most out of the three...and we are talking originals not special editions where he prequeled them.

Speaking of the LOTR...this seems like a money grab to me.  15 discs, come on...if I ever see it for 30 bucks maybe I'll pick it up but just like the Star Wars blu ray, they should have put everything in one package deal....and I'm against taking out Ian holm in place of a young freeman.  Leave the movies alone...you want to update it with better film quality fine but don't change the movies.  You can see what a mess that was with the SW special editions.

I want a definitive 3 disc, no commentary extended edition. Really is it so hard to put 3 movies on 3 discs and put it in a case. Almost everyone I know never watches the comentaries on these. Only the hardcore fanatics feel the need, generally.

If Martin Freeman does a great job as ayoung Bilbo in the Hobbit then I have no problems with them redoing that one flashback scene where Bilbo finds the Ring. But they should have done it for this release. I hate having to rebuy it again just for that one scene.

Also I agree. 3 movies, 3 disks and no commentaries please!

 Honestly, they could have put each movie on one blu-ray, with all the extras.  This seems a waste of money, and I think I'll just keep with my dvd set.  As for commentary and such, I love these things.  :)  But I really don't think we need to have multiple blu-rays for a single movie.  :\
