After several home releases, The Lord of the Rings doesn’t look as good as I remember, but my memory isn’t the problem.
My recommendations:
-
The Fellowship of the Ring:
1. The Fan Version.
From what I understand, the Fan Version uses the luminance of the HD Extended Edition, but is color matched to the Theatrical Edition and the Extended DVDs. I love it. I found it on .
2. The HD Theatrical Edition (2010)
If you don’t care about the Extended Edition, this is a great option. It has some DNR, but the colors look good.
3. The 4K (2020)
The 4Ks are fine, but out of all of them, Fellowship is the worst, because the colors are so boring.
4. The DVDs?
I don’t know, anything but the HD Extended Edition.
5. The HD Extended Edition (2011)
Abysmal.

The Two Towers:
1. The HD Extended Edition (2011)
The Two Towers and The Return of the King weren’t messed up, so I prefer the HD Blu-rays over the 4Ks. However, the Extended Edition of The Two Towers has a slight green tint in *some* scenes, compared to the Theatrical Edition, but it’s not that noticeable.
2. The 4K (2020)
Arguably, The Two Towers benefits the most from a fancy new color grade, since the original was a little flat. I love how blue the skies are in this version. Unfortunately, the DNR looks the worst. The plains of Rohan are wiped out. There are like ten different flashbacks, so the white filter bugs me. And anything that’s yellow-green is too saturated, so certain costume details look like caution-tape, and anyone with blonde hair looks like they’ve been swimming in chlorine.

The Return of the King:
1. The HD Extended Edition (2011)
Perfect.
Although, I had audio-sync problems with The Two Towers and the Return of the King, so personally, I swapped the audio with the 4K audio.
2. The 4K (2020)
The Return of the King 4K doesn’t bother me that much. But I prefer the HD version.
