Fans of Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy are in for a treat with the new 4K treatment the films have received just in time for Christmas. It’s a spectacular package, a nine-disc set that includes both the theatrical and the extended versions of Jackson’s three classic fantasy films. And if that isn’t enough for Middle Earth for you, Warner Brothers has also released the Hobbit trilogy in 4K. I’m a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy I’m a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and have auditioned all the video versions, from the original DVD’s of the theatrical versions to these brand new 4K transfer. I’m also a fan of the original J.R.R. Tolkien books, but upon rereading the Fellowship of the Ring a couple of years ago I discovered I now find the books unnecessarily bloated and actually prefer Jackson’s versions â the extended editions, at least.
