Rating: Summary: Wait for the Director's Cut Review: I've been waiting for a movie version of Tolkien's masterpiece ever since I first read The Lord of the Rings almost 25 years ago.My initial reaction was happy but a little unsatisfied, wanting to see a book that was truer to Tolkien's story, but repeated watchings have changed my view for the positive. There is too much about this movie that is excellent to list it all here. The soundtrack, the scenery, the actors, the special effects and Peter Jackson's vision for a movie. Its all just fantasic. But I'm going to force myself to wait for the Director's Cut which will be released sometime in October/November. With an extra 30 minutes plus extra DVD's it will represent a real seven course movie feast.
Rating: Summary: Order it! Review: This movie is based on the first volume of the greatest fantasy epic of all time-The Lord of the Rings. It's the first of a trilogy-The Fellowship of the Ring. for all the serious Tolkien fans-let's get down to the details. Like all based-on-a-book movies, it's not 100% true to the book. The main differences: 1. in the movie, Tom Bombadil was left out for simplicity. Personally, I don't mind much as I thought he was slightly annoying(though very interesting of course). 2. Glorfindel the Elf(a male) is replaced by Arwen Evenstar( a female). This really makes me mad. Arwen does not belong in the movie! 3. Aragorn and Arwen fall in love in Rivendell. In the books they don't fall in love till much later. 3. Boromir's death is placed at the end of the first movie, rather than at the beginning of the second movie. This is ok with me-I can understand that it might not be a good idea to begin the second movie with a death. 4. the showdown between Saruman and Gandalf is much scarier in the movie than in the book. They use their magical staffs to spin each other around into the air and thrust each other onto the ground. The movie would probably be better without these differences, but it's still a great movie. Awesome special effects, beautiful music, outstanding actors, and the greatest story ever combine to make it the best movie that I have ever seen. It's a movie that every Tolkien fan should own. I know I will!
Rating: Summary: The Only One Review: I can honestly say it is the only film/book combination where I prefer the film by far to the book. Full credit to Peter Jackson and the cast and crew for allowing us an insight into Tolkein's world. First time round I felt it was too long but the second, third and fourth time of viewing increased my love of the film and especially the hairy fairy Legolas. I want more!
Rating: Summary: we need fordo&his fellowship in our live Review: i would like to start by saying it is the most fantastic film i ever seen in my live they did a great efforts in this wonderful picture specially elijah wood i think he began his future but it is a long film but it is worth the wait&i do not like the scary scenens in it but i adore the most lovley wizard gandalf& fardo friends& the brave fellowship specially boromir and i am waiting to see the end of the story .
Rating: Summary: the fellowship Review: ?I saw it in theaters. In theaters It was PG-13 now on vhs it's "R". Why? Yes the movie is violent in some ways but not enough to have an "R" rating. in the Mines it is very intense. Very scarry for little kids. the Real life Look of all the actors and the action is also scarry . But it is clear that Good is aginst Evil and that is a good thing. So is the movie changing ??? The rating system is not something I can count on. this was a good movie for a kid my age to see with my parents. If it was "R" I never would have got to see it. It is Intense. I have seen it 6 times now. it is one of my favorite movies. Now my Dad is concerned about what changes have been made. These are great books and great movies. Good Vs Bad. The Movie is like what it looks like in my imigination when my dad reads to me Just not as gory.... I would have never imagined the Green Ork blood.. GROSS.
Rating: Summary: excellent Review: The fellowship of the ring is a fantastic cinematic event that outdoes that other fantasy filled movie running alongside it by far. Jacksons direction is perfect, the make-up and CG effects are stunning and above all, fantastic characters are lifted by some fabulous performances. I think that mainly Elijah wood and Ian Mckellen stand out a lot, but the breakthrough role will undoubtedly be Orlando Bloom as the Elvin archer Legolas. I give this film a five because it is undoubtedly one of the most epic and sweeping movies ever made, matched only by Braveheart for stunning battle sequences and all that we have come to expect from these sorts of movies. Well done Peter Jackson, i can feel George Lucas trembling from here.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Review: This is an excellent film. Beautifully filmed scenes in elaborate sets and environments. Believable characters. My only gripe is that it ends with a cliffhanger. Hopefully the DVD will contain tons of behind-the-scenes footage and documentaries and interviews to match.
Rating: Summary: The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring Review: Okay The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is like the best movie I ever watched!!!

Rating: Summary: Lord of the Rings=WOW!! Review: This movie is SOOOO awesome, let me tell you. If you haven't seen it, you need to, and purchase it ...(it's really hard to find it anywhere else, cheaper!) Anywho, it's not exactly like the book, but what movie is? It's really close though!! Watching the movie brought me right there with Elijah (Frodo) seeing the things he saw and feeling the same. He is an TOTALLY AWESOME ACTOR that brings the movie to life, and he is super HOT!! YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!... NO MOVIE COLLECTION IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT!! :)

People probably don't get the ending, but if you have read the book series, the Lord of the Rings, you would think the same as I. The acting was great, the action kept you entertained the whole time. I would diffently suggests this movie for anyone, at any age!
