Oh, I finally caved and bought the LOTR EE Blu-Rays, because I got them for half price and I must say I'm a bit disappointed even with the other two, especially TTT, which has loads of DVNRed shots (it doesn't seem to be applied globally but quite a few shots do have DVNR smearing) and the same goes for ROTK, only it seems to be much fewer shots there. And of course the colors of FOTR, while in other respects it's the best master of the three, are a total crapfest.

Those pictures above don't even show it enough; look at this shit:

And I must say, I seriously don't like that they darkened it - it is much less pleasing to watch for that reason as well as the colors.
