DVD critic Ken Miyamoto raves: “A wonderful special edition with A-List interviews, detailed history, and some fine extras as well! ….What surprised me most was that RINGERS was not just about the excellent Peter Jackson epic adaptations. This film covers everything from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and to the present. Everything you’d want to know about Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” is in this fine film!” [More]
