'The Return of the King' wins my respect for closing the show in such high style. (Blu-ray Extended Edition set)

Double-dip it may be, but it'd take 30 years and 40 re-releases before I could find something nasty to say about ROTK.

A dazzling, gripping and triumphant resolution to the series, and a certification that motion pictures can fully replicate the depth and scope of the human imagination.

[The Extended Edition DVD] is an encyclopedia, a text book, a film school on four discs...
Q Network Film Desk
Grandly epic in scale, yet deeply human in emotion, The Return of the King is a fitting capstone to one of modern cinema's greatest gambles.

As with its two predecessors, the 'regular' DVD release is very nice, pretty much equivalent to most 'special edition' DVDs, save for the absence of audio commentary tracks.

LOTR: The Return of the King becomes available for home viewing with something it did not have when it played in theaters: 11 Oscars.

Once again: You know that the definitive, extended DVD edition of the film is a few months away, so you're probably buying this edition to whet your whistle until then.
