Title: Won't even buy the extended release now
Product review: This review will be buried so I'm not going to spend time embellishing upon it. It's taken too long to get the trilogy out to Blu-Ray. And then they insult us by doing the "release the cut version first and then when sales drop off release the extended version and rake everyone again" thing. The entire trilogy cost $275 million to shoot, and they made $311 million in US box offices on Fellowship of the Ring alone. And then worldwide sales, the next two movies, merchandising and licensing, pay-per-views and broadcasts... How much money do they think they need to make off this franchise? Why not do something nice for the fans and release the best, most complete cut of the movie on the best format available? It's a slap in the face to the fans who've paid literally billions already into this franchise. Your greed has cost you a sale. I'll rent or maybe even bootleg the darn thing when it finally comes out.
