I've only made it to 10 minutes into the second mp3, but it's excellent so far. I had to stop it, though, since you can only take so much Peter Jackson tediousness in a row, even with Mike and Kevin's riffs, before it eventually drives you bat-shit insane. :P
This iRiff will only be on sale for another few hours. Get it while it's cheap!

I've completed the first half.  I'm enjoying it so far.  The experience is different.  I'm not laughing as much, but even so I'm entertained because the movie is entertaining, so I really don't mind.

I got through part 1. I'll get through part two tomorrow. But so far, it's like buttah! It's just great.

A little too many jabs at Roseanne though.

So you think /you/ guys have it hard when it comes to watching these movies? With every release I have to watch the movies all the way through about three or four times - even LOTR ;)

With Fellowship I was really enetertained, and i think I know why:
Mike and kevin did this one as a family-friendly thing, so there's not as much TPM style of comedy. However, Mike and Kevin seem to have made this one as a complementary piece to the actual movie. I find the movies to be amazing, and when I watched Fellowship with the riff, it was like watching something amazing, with amazing bits of awesome during slower parts!

Good times....

I got through the first half last night, and watched up to Lothlorien this morning before work.  I love it so far.  It's like a snowball rolling down a presumably snow-covered mountain.  They start off small and gain momentum as it goes on.  By the time the movie gets to Rivendell, they were firing off one solid riff after another.  The Council of Elrond (Hubbard) scene is particularly hillarious. 

So far, my favorite riff is "4 and 20 blackbirds, baked in a DIE."

I wonder why they chose to do the theatrical version? I for one would have liked to have seen the crew riff on the extended version and all it's extra goodness.  :)

Watched about the first third last night and finished it up tonight. Positively brilliant. I think this is the final, irrefutable reply to those who say Mike should never riff on a movie he likes. Clearly that's not the case, since this is absolutely his best work yet.

Way, WAY too many riffs to quote. Great, great work. The ultimate compliment: I want to watch it again.

YAAAY! Hey maybe if you do you can even go back and release Fellowship Of The Rings: Special Edition Rifftrax, with nearly an hour more worth of riffs! :^)

great as always from the guys

I was disappointed that they didn't introduce Boromir as Triple H during that roll call/NFL classic footage line up thing that they did. He looks alot like him and it would have fit in perfect there
I really do like pie.

Great stuff.
I loved the Matrix reference when Hugo Weaving's character appeared  "....Mr. Anderson."  Classic.
