You can buy the Lord of the Rings extended trilogy in 4K at Amazon, or you can pick up the standard Blu-Ray set.

But not knowing when to bow out aside, this is the perfect end to an epic trilogy of movies with some of the most impressive action that the films had seen. It’s hard not to talk about The Return of the King without mentioning its multiple endings and by the time the credits roll, it does feel like a relief to have made it through it. Read our full review The Return of the King A contender for best movie of the six? Almost certainly. The action in the first movie was solid, but here it is taken to another level with the battle of Helm’s Deep remaining an epic thrill ride even years later. The Two Towers had a lot of hype to live up to after the success of Fellowship and it did not disappoint. While the pace is slow, there is an innocence to this one as we follow the Fellowship in its early stages and watch as the journey of Frodo and co begins and they begin to realise how dangerous a situation they have found themselves in.

Where it all began cinematically, The Fellowship of the Ring remains a delightful movie and is the perfect introduction to all things Middle Earth. This is the way we got them originally and while we do lean towards watching them in chronological order, this remains an enjoyable way to watch them all and you will be going into it with the three best movies in the franchise first – the slower and slightly more muddled Hobbit trilogy can be more enjoyable with the knowledge of what is to come in Middle Earth.
