Lord Of The Rings, The: The Fellowship Of The Ring Details

Flawless

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).

Finally decided to see what the fuss was about, a great film - not my cup of tea generally but obviously well produced, acted etc and certainly made you care about the characters. Worthy of the oscars and did live up to the "hype" attached to it. The scenery was amazing and I can understand the rise in tourism to New Zealand. I look forward to the sequel. Thought Orlando Bloom was particularly tasty and the humour was a nice touch.
