Fellowship of the ring extended edition where to watch

YES! I can't believe it! The Extended Edition is FINALLY available on Google Play!!! At least, for one of the three Lord of the Rings films. It's a start! I just saw The Hobbit Part II a couple days ago in theaters, and it really got me in the mood to re-watch the Lord of the rings trilogy. I have the extended editions on DVD from when they were first released, but now a days I really try to avoid using DVD's at all if I can help it. They're just way too inconvenient when compared to watching movies through my Chromecast. I was ALMOST tempted to get the LOTR trilogy (non-extended version) when I saw the movies go on sale in the Google Play Store. But I've been holding out this entire time for the extended editions to hopefully become available. And finally, my patience has paid off! I really hope this is a sign of things to come. Please release the extended editions of the other two LOTR films ASAP!! I promise to purchase them IMMEDIATELY! :)

Don't get me wrong. The movie in itself is very well-done and entertaining. I mean, it's no Hobbit or anything, but it's fun, action-packed, and entertaining, and probably everyone can have fun or relate to it somehow. However, at over 3 hrs. long, the long running time keeps me from fully enjoying it. I saw the Extended Edition and I'm sure if I had seen the Theatrical version I would have liked it more, but it was so long that after a while I began to lose interest. I was entertained, yes, but I just got tired of it after a while. It's a good movie, but would have been great if shorter.

Lotr is a saga, so I can't say that one is better than the other, because the trilogy tells the same story. Lotr has many hidden messages in them, and many Christians will be able to tell. The messages are hard to follow, but that is what tolkein intended, opposed to something like Narnia, which is quite obvious. These movies are amazing, and I think it would be hard to ever be a movie greater than them. U must watch them!! Smarter than a hobbit. Stronger than a Dwarf. More agile than an Elf. I'm a Fan.

"One ring to rule them all. One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them." J.R.R. Tolkien The Lord of the Rings In the first part of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, a shy young hobbit named Frodo Baggins 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. Now Frodo, accompanied by a wizard, an elf, a dwarf, two men and three loyal hobbit friends, must become the greatest hero the world has ever known to save the land and the people he loves.

It’s time to revisit Middle-earth.

During this year’s Super Bowl, Amazon debuted the first teaser trailer for The Rings of Power, an upcoming Lord of the Rings TV series. The teaser racked up a reported 257 million views in 24 hours, making it the most-watched trailer to ever debut during the Super Bowl.

Premiering on Prime Video Sept. 2, 2022, The Rings of Power will take place thousands of years before the Lord of the Rings movies, or, in proper lore terms, during the Second Age of Middle-earth. “The Lord of the Rings” author J.R.R. Tolkein gave the timeline of this era in appendices to the original books, so fans are excited to see more of Tolkein’s world come to life, and to get backstories on familiar characters such as Sauron, Galadriel, and Elrond.

Whether you’re new to The Lord of the Rings, or you’re looking to re-watch the movies before The Rings of Power comes out, read on. Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch Lord of the Rings online.

How to Watch Every Lord of the Rings Movie Online

The best way to watch Lord of the Rings online is on HBO Max. The streaming service has all three movies from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, including The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King.

You can also watch The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions on HBO Max, which adds over two hours of extra content to the theatrical version. HBO Max also has all three of The Hobbit movies, which is a prequel trilogy to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

HBO Max offers two subscription tiers: the cheaper option is ad-supported and costs $9.99 per month, while the ad-free HBO Max subscription costs $14.99 per month.

Buy HBO Max Subscription $9.99+

How to Watch The Lord of the Rings Free Online

Looking to watch The Lord of the Rings for free online? There is a way. Although HBO Max doesn’t offer a free trial, Hulu offers a seven-day free trial of HBO Max with this bundle promotion. This will let you watch The Lord of the Rings for free, before the seven-day free trial expires.

Buy HBO Max Free Trial Hulu

Hulu with HBO Max, for the unfamiliar, is a Hulu and HBO Max subscription in one account. So, with the free trial, you’re getting both services for free for seven days.

If you already have Hulu, sign up for an HBO Max free trial here. If you don’t have Hulu, you can still get a seven-day free trial for the whole package by signing up for Hulu with HBO Max at the same time. After the seven days are up, you’ll be charged $14.99 a month for the HBO Max add-on, plus the cost of your Hulu subscription (the cheapest Hulu subscription is $6.99 per month).

Buy Hulu with HBO Max Subscription $21.98+

How to Watch The Lord of the Rings Without HBO

If you don’t want to sign up for HBO Max, you can still watch The Lord of the Rings online by renting each movie through Prime Video or Vudu. This option will cost $3.99 per movie. You can also buy the movies through Prime Video or Vudu, allowing you to watch The Lord of the Rings online at any time.

How to Watch Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit in Order

For longtime fans and newcomers alike, it can be challenging to decide how to watch The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit in order. Some say the best way is to watch in chronological order, while others say to watch the two trilogies in order of release.

If you’re new to the world of Middle-earth, we recommend watching the two trilogies in order of release, starting with The Lord of the Rings movies and ending with The Hobbit trilogy. If you’re revisiting the Lord of the Rings franchise, we think it makes sense to watch The Lord of the Rings online in chronological order, going from The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
