Plot Summary
In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), inherits a simple gold ring. He knows the ring has power, but not that he alone holds the secret to the survival - or enslavement - of the entire world. Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must now become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves. Also starring Academy Award and Golden Globe-winner Cate Blanchett, Academy Award-nominee and Golden Globe-winner Ian McKellan, Academy Award-nominee Viggo Mortensen, Orlando Bloom, and Liv Tyler. Winner of four Academy Awards including Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects and Best Makeup.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: The real deal, a movie epic that pops your eyes out, piles on thrills and fun, and yet stays intimately attuned to character.
Fresh: An excellent film and a ripping yarn of a movie.
Fresh: The production design is a marvel, and the special effects are dazzling.
Fresh: Watching it, one can't help but get the impression that everyone involved was steeped in Tolkien's work, loved the book, treasured it and took care not to break a cherished thing in it.

!
This is a great movie, but what i really want is the extended edition of all three...
Great Movie......But
I love this film, but we LOTR fans want the other two with the extended editions. Hey Apple, you want to know why the customer rating isn't very good for this film? We want the whole Trilogy, not just one and we want the extended editions, and NOW. If the other films were made available with the extended editions the sales and customer ratings would immeadeately shoot straight up.
GREAT MOVIE, but.
iTunes had better get the second and third movies out soon or I am going to flip my lid! These movies are the greatest trilogy series movies out there! Extended editions wouldn't hurt either.
