Title: Missing half the movie. Avoid.
Product review: Firstly, this silly release is going to be MISSING OVER 2 HOURS OF FOOTAGE.I already own Lord of the Rings, it's standard definition but it's the complete version.Secondly, being a New Line release, this will probably also be missing half the resolution. Welcome to the wonderful world of 'DNR'For those who don't know, DNR is a process (used by several studios, but taken to ridiculous levels by New Line) which attempts to hide film grain by essentially 'softening' the image (we can't have our films looking like FILM now, can we? What with all that film-grain and all...) Anyway, the result? Weird, waxy faces with absolutely no detail.$50 to buy movies I already own AND these 'improved' blu-rays will be missing half the movie and missing half the detail. Oh... yes... let me get out my checkbook... :-P
