Title: A Film and DVD Box Set of Wagnerian Proportions
Review: Simply put, this film and the box set it's now been packaged in is a work of art. You will never need to watch the original again as this new version reveals a level of detail that paints a richer Middle Earth and its characters. But those of us who have both versions will not necessarily be disappointed as there does not appear to be any repetition in the special features. I watched one of the documentaries on the new set and was very impressed with how thorough it was. This is a truly comprehensive set that will satisfy and appeal to everyone from newbies to Tolkien fans. Needless to say the film, and I sense the two to follow, are destined to become classics that will be cherished for generations - more than can be said for last year's good yet not so memorable Oscar winner. I wonder if Jackson will return to film the equally famed prequel, "The Hobbit", as well.
