Wonderful from beginning to end - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

No movie is more visually appealing and beautiful than this one. It is carefully directed and intelligently written. The cast was smartly selected, and the acting is wonderful. The beautiful song by Enya at the end fit perfectly.

Excellent but the next two will be even better - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

The Fellowship of the Ring was outstanding but when I saw The Two Towers I liked it better. Then, when I saw the Return of the King, I fell in love with it. The Fellowship is a must see. Ol Pete Jackson has unleashed an unexplainable movie that is great for all ages above 9 or 10.

The beginning of the best trilogy of all time - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

There are not enough good things that I can say about The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. It is a masterwork on all levels. The sets, costumes, visual effects, acting, musical score, direction, and story all please me immensely. It's just about as close to a flawless film as you can get. It's not as good as the final installment, The Return of the King, but it's better than the second volume, The Two Towers. We all know the story: Frodo has to take the One Ring to Mordor where the Shadows lie to throw it into Mount Doom so it will be destroyed and Sauron won't regain the evil he once wielded. Well, this could turn out to be a very silly story, but fortunetely, it doesn't. It truns out very well, adventurous, rousing, and entertaining. The film is also quite moving, some scenes nearly brought tears to my eyes, mainly because of great performances by Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Bean, Sean Astin, and Cate Blanchett. Some said that there were too many characters that we were introduced to and that we didn't get to know them well enough. Well, I completely disagree. Yes, there is a very large assortment of characters, but just watch it with all of your attention and you'll get it down what they all are and what their prupose is. There are parts where the film drags, such as in the woods of Lothlorien, but when I thought that part might have been dragging, I just took a look at the amazing sets or the costumes and admired the hard work put into them. This is most liekly the most ambitious project ever made in cinema history. So many different sets, costumes, visual effects, weapons, characters, and wonderful performances were put into this film, but in the end it all comes down to one man. Peter Jackson, who could have made this project a burden, just as the Ring is to Frodo, but he doesn't. He enjoyed making these films, it's his life's work, he'll treasure it forever. I cannot thank him enough. The Fellowship of the Ring should have swept the Oscars, but it didn't. But I'm glad The Return of the King did so, it was like FOTR's vengeance or something. If you haven't seen this yet, make sure you do, NOW!!!

Probably my favourite of the three - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

Having seen all 3 movies now, I think this one was my favourite. It was the most light hearted and funny. There were certain things that I wish they hadn't done(like the Galadriel demon scene) but other than that, this movie is flawless.

Excellent! - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

This movie was incredible! This movie has something for fans of every genre! Action: Well, there is lots of this. Drama: There are a few sad parts, some peoples die. Romance: between the man and the elf. Scary: Well, not really scary but the hooded guys are kinda freaky. Fantasy: Well it all falls under that genre. All in all this movie is great!

Lotr is underminded - The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Reviews

LOTR is great, but people think it is a dungeons and dragons nerd movie. One thing... it got 13 oscar nods (including best picture best director best suppoeritn actor, and best adapted screenplay.) It is one of the best fatansies, and movies ever made
