I think the LOTR movies are the best movie trilogy period.

Its clear that Episode III was the movie Lucas had in mind and the others were just fluff. He should have made Episode III 30 minutes longer and not bothered with I&II or he should have made I&II show more of the sith and where they came from.

btw- got the DVD-A and listened to it, and while I am very impressed with the packaging and the recording, in general as a DVD-A I find it lacking that last bit of sparkle the best DVD-As exhibit. Could it be due to it being presented at 48khz vs 96? I don't know. Still recommend it for any dedicated fan and having all the music in CD format is nice too. I havent listened to those yet but I plan on it. Btw- the DVD-A menu has some authoring problems that cause my all Meridian system to make some pretty unhappy popping sounds so please if anyone plays this, hit mute before engaging the full menu and then unmute once you get to the desired track. And, the mixing on the multichannel is excellent.
