Well I thought this would be good for a laugh not make everyone angry. Like someone said above, I hope there is a number of angry reviews and not, not..."These are the greatest movies ever, made better" stuff. As far as LOTR, why is everyone a hater. I love the fact that there are extended editions. That trilogy may have been made after the OT, but the books predate the OT. The books are brilliant and I have loved them all my life, just like Star Wars...though I never had a love/hate thing like I do with Star Wars in General lately. Star Wars and the Lucas Empire is like the attractive girl that treated me really well at the beginning used me up and is now kicking me around and treating me like crap and occasionally teases me. LOTR its that nice girl that was really deep, may not have been much to look at but becomes cute later on. One had my heart (star wars) one had my brain (LOTR books) since I was a kid and loved them both...though now, I look at LOTR with zero frustration...none. I couldn't ask for more. So what if there is merchandise, is that Peter Jackson's fault? Peter Jackson made good movies and was as faithful as he could be (though there was no Arwen in LOTR...Silmarillion and Tom Bombadil is absent). I'd love to see more great literary fantasy works get done like that (eg. Tales of Narnia by CS Lewis or Gunslinger series by Stephen King).

Again we all love Star Wars, but lets not forget why were all here too. We all are frustrated to some degree. Pissed of reviews, even if over the top is whats needed to MAKE LUCAS PULL HIS HEAD OUT HIS ASS AND RELEASE THE OT RIGHT.

BTW, at least we know now with Kershner and Lowry saying work is being done for an HD-DVD release and there will be deleted scenes on that, no one has said anything about the original trilogy, but maybe. So I say keep the pissed of reviews coming.
