Amazing novel, amazing movie - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

Lord of the Rings is the best fantasy movie we've seen in some time but...it lacks the action. But hey, the book did too, thats why we go to see The Two Towers and Return of the King. But good for Peter Jackson for adding in the beginning of the two towers with the battle. That way we get more action and the second film wont start confusing you. The Nazguls (Black Riders) are darker and better than I could have pictured them, the orcs are grotesque which fixs them perfectly and mordor is great looking. The massive battles are half CGI same with half the ghouls. The visual effects are very worthy, the team definetly deserved that Oscar. And same with the cinemantography, that was also great. Oscar went into the right hands. This film would have got a A+ but there is a lack of action, so unless your a big fan you may end up getting tired. Because its 3 hours of few battles and more character build up than anything. But what a great build up to an even greater climax. Highly recomended.
