It's 3 hours long but never drags. It's about hobbits, elves, dwarves and wizards but feels like an epic drama. It's the first part of a trilogy but works perfectly as a complete film. It's TOO GOOD!
I've only met one person who didn't like this film, and they were weird. On whatever level you choose to examine it, it can't really be faulted; Acting, Screenplay, Direction, Effects, big budget blockbuster or intelligent literary adaptation, there's nothing wrong with it. You've probably already seen it, so I don't really know why i'm adding a review, and i'm not saying anything original... but if, by some freak chance, you've NOT watched this yet, get it now!
The DVD is great, too, as they've chucked about a million extras at it, most of which involves all of the main people from the film (Jackson, McKellan, Wood etc).
Please search for and watch the extended versions of these three films, I have seen all three theatrical versions of each film and own all three extended editions. The extended editions of the first two films are better than the originals and are a must rent for all Lord of the rings lovers. Return of the king extended version is a little disjointed but it's still a pleaseure to watch.
Harry Potter is the world's most popular fantasy franchise, according to a new internet poll. As the latest installment of the wizard adventure casts a spell over movie goers, visitors to websites Moviefone and Bebo have named it their favourite - trumping Lord of the Rings and even vampire tale Twilight. Seventy-three per cent of voters chose Harry Potter, followed by Lord of the Rings with just 16 per cent, Twilight with eight per cent and The Chronicles of Narnia with three per cent. Read more
