The Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring - Extended Version

Superb series. Looking forward to the hobbit. Well worth watching the extended series if you have enjoyed the cinema version.

The story is good but not exceptional as some readers want to make it look like. Lots of special effects, beautiful outdoors of New Zealand, action packed movie but it is way too long. The movie I heard is very close to the book but it will never be as good as the source, the book that is! Still it is watchable and it gives you a nice warm feeling inside, especially at night when it is rainy and cold.

tolkien's book was brought to 1st class life by this amazing film, with the most incredible graphics, long it may be but it makes the darkest harry potter look like Alvin and the Chipmunks

i realy do like this film it has got a realy good story to it and it has got some good action scenes with a good long advenger yes long this is a verry loing film i think its on for 2 hoars 47 minits what is long but good some people think it is hard to under stand but i dont think it is is think its normal realy not hard ok.

but i can say i think this shord b a 12 because when i was little this film use to scere me lol so yep i think think it shord b a 12 just like the last 2 what r 12 dont c much difrents in them.

i realy did enjoy this film and it is a realy famous film alot of people give it 5 out of 5 so yep its good but i give it 3 haf out of 5 lol greate film some think what u must c if u havent seen it ;).

With THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, director Peter Jackson has achieved a meticulous and captivating adaptation of the first book of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic fantasy trilogy. The setting is Middle-earth, a mythological land populated by elves, dwarves, humans, and the gentle, diminutive hobbits upon whom the story centers. One hobbit, Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood), unexpectedly comes into possession of an ancient magical ring so powerful it invariably corrupts anyone who wears it. In order to prevent the ring's erstwhile owner, the dark lord Sauron, from reclaiming the ring and taking over Middle-earth, a motley band of comrades set out to destroy it in the fires of Mount Doom, where it was forged. Included in the group are Frodo and hobbits Sam (Sean Astin), Merry (Dominic Monoghan), and Pippin (Billy Boyd); the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen); human warriors Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) and Boromir (Sean Bean); the dwarf Gimli (John Rhys-Davies); the elf Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Along the way, they wage battle with monsters, demons, and Sauron's evil minions, all brought to life by spectacular digital technology.

Jackson's grandiose production represents the first of three films that he wrote and directed, derived from Tolkien's beloved novels. Fourteen months in the making, at a cost of $270 million, all three installments were filmed at once in New Zealand where diverse landscapes lend themselves particularly well to the mystical realm of Middle-earth. The story continues with THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE TWO TOWERS and THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING.

There's a reason that the LoR movies are so great - the underlying books are not only filled with depth, but they are quite literally genre-defining. Its no understatement to say that there wasn't really a well defined 'Fantasy' genre until LoR came along.

I'm a believer in the theory that at the centre of every genre, no matter how exhausted, there is something of excellence, be it hip-hop, rap, opera, westerns, rom-coms or whatever. Well when it comes to 'fantasy' LoR is it. Even if you've never read the book and are not a fan of 'fantasy' you should see the film. You remember how 'Star Wars' entranced you as a child ? Well LoR is just as significant, and because of the quality of the source material, built on much deeper foundations.
