Title: Not a great set
Product review: Now, Warner's been getting a lot of flak here for their double dipping strategy. To be fair to them, it has been made abundantly clear that the Extended Editions are coming later, so it is not as if they are trying to "trick" anyone into buying this set.That being said, this is a pretty lazy, lackluster set. Reviews have already been coming out saying that the picture quality, while not bad by any means, are made from older transfers with some technical problems, including Digital Noise Reduction (DNR). Fellowship of the Ring apparently suffers from this the most. Furthermore, the extras are ported straight from the original theatrical DVDs, which means they don't amount to much.Take this information as you will. To me, it means that unless you absolutely want to have the theatrical cuts along with the Extended Editions, this release will ultimately be wasted money once the inevitably superior set is released later down the line. I'm going to wait it out.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
