Good Points: Wonderful

Bad Points: None

General comments: Lord of The Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring - I'm one of those people some movie freaks hate...I always compare movies to the book. In this case even though Peter Jackson had to cut some things for times sake, he still managed to capture the essence of the Lord of the Rings. If you love fantasy and I mean good fantasy (any reader knows that it's not hard to find fantasy only good fantasy) you will love this movie, or let me say these movies. From the first moments of The Fellowship of the Ring till the close of The Return of the King there not a false step. To be able to say that about a movie, and that it is said by a book lover, who loved these books is more amazing than some people will appreciate.

The Lord of The Rings trilogy movies are spectacularly made. Buy this classic trilogy if you love action, adventure, comedy and love. These three movies directed by Peter Jackson are masterpieces. The landscapes and cities are incredible works of art, and the footage of New Zealand is beautiful. Join the journey with four hobbits as they attempt to destroy the ring of power in Mount Doom, the mountain from which it was made. Phenomenal movies!!

Lord of The Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring - Sod off, Harry Potter. This is how a fantasy film should be made. J.R.R Tolkien`s masterpiece
gets the screen treatment it truly deserves and the result is an impact audiences haven`t felt since George Lucas blew us away with Star Wars or the Wachowski brothers stunned us with The Matrix.
Had the film been a Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay collaboration, it would have had daft action, silly characters and terrible dialogue. Thank God ...

Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring has got to be one of the most imaginative stories ever written. The cast are brilliant, each bringing their characters to life. Elijah Wood plays the Hobbit Frodo, who is the ringbearer and who's job it is to destroy the ring in mordor. With him on the journey are Aragorn (played by Viggo Mortensen), Legolas the elf (Orlando Bloom - Pirates of the Caribbean), Gimli the Dwarf, Arwen (Liv Tyler), the Wizard Gandalf (Ian Mckellen),Borimir and of course ...

Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring is is one of the best films ever to be made, and this being the first, and with the second being just as good, it looks like a triligy to rival the likes of Star Wars, Indiana Jones and other movie epics. There isn't a part to this film that is bad, the only slight downsideis the impractical length, you've got to start watching it early in the evening to watch it all and not stay up too late, and it doesn't half make you go numb. The Graphics are so ...

Wow! I could go on and on...this really is the greatest movie ever to hit the screens. Just as good the first time as it is the 4th. Is it just me, or the more you see it the shorter it gets?

This is a very nice and exiting movie. I Give the movie 9. In general the rolls
are good casted...
But:
The Elver king is very badly casted (you know, the agent from Matrix. Not
enough of Liv Tyler, Christoffer Lee, dark scenes. The DVD is VERY over
estimated, course of the 30 minutes of extra, the 13 minutes goes to extra L
O N G running text!! So I give the DVD 7+. ;-/

Lord of the Rings-The Fellowship of the Ring was by far much better then i thought it was going to be. I found it to be over all a great movie almost better then the book. It picked you up and put you right into Middle earth and held you my the set of your pance until the movie was over with. I'm hoping that The Two Towers is just as good if not better the Fellowship of the Ring.

Forget all the other films you've seen with head-band wearing barbarians, rubber dragons and bad acting, Lord of the Rings is THE fantasy film.
The story starts off in Hobbiton where the hero Frodo is given a ring which he soon finds out can allow one to control the world, as well as turn invisible.
He has to journey through middle earth in a quest to destroy the ring, which is being sought by the evil lord Sauron.
Chases by the very creepy ring wraiths, and meetings with elves, and close s ...

Having never read the books, The Fellowship of The Ring compels me to do so. Set in New Zealand, some scenes set not too far from where I live, it brings a welcome familiarity to me. Though three hours long, not once did I find myself shuffling in my seat or looking up the walls. Great scenery, spectacular special effects and intruiging characters made this one of the best movies I've ever seen. Though not particularly into the wizard/goblin fantasy thing myself, I'd still recommend people see i ...

I think the movie: 'The Lord of The Rings' speaks for itself. It was a very enjoyable movie that had an involving plot and likeable characters. It also contained humour in the right places. The only thing that i thought was a bit weak was that they made it seem like the fellowship had only been travelling for a week.

I am not a great film-goer, (there are so many appalling films around), so I wasn't relishing three hours sitting in the cinema. However, this film has rekindled my enthusiasm for the cinema. It was three solid hours of action-packed adventure and suspense. The computer generated graphics were absolutely fantastic, the casting was excellent (although perhaps Aragorn could have been a bit harder!), and the scenery breathtaking. Makes me want to holiday in New Zealand. I have never been to the ci ...

I was a little concerned at the prospect of 3 hours in the cinema watching a "childrens' fantasy film", but I was totally absorbed. The time just went by. This film is action, action, action. So much so, that my wife says I didn't acknowledge she was there with me. (In trouble again!). The scenery and special effects were just breathtaking. Remember it's a trilogy though, or you'll be puzzled by the ending.

Definitely a break through in movies of the fantasy genre. Its been a long time since I've seen a movie that has actually impressed me. The Scenery was marvellous.
