Summary: Im obssessed with the lord of the rings!
Review: I thought the lord of the rings was amazing! Especially on the DVD because the sound and screen quality was so precise and just amazing! The extras were very interesting to see and gave me an insight to how the film was made. As i absolutley love everything to do with the lord of the rings, the DVD was really helpful to get a better picture of the actors; directors; set; special effects and everybody involved in bringing the story to life.

Summary: A Classic
Review: I thought the movie made really good use of what they had available and taking into consideration length. As an avid fan of the Tolkien series since I was very little and my dad read them to me, I was a bit disappointed with the omissions of such characters as Tom Bombadil and the Old Willow, but I understand that they did what they needed. This movie is definitely a classic, and I can't wait to see what Peter Jackson has in store for us in The Two Towers.

Summary: Could it get any better??
Review: I thought the original version of The Fellowship of the Ring was awesome, but this version is even better! There's a lot of things cut out of the original that would prevent people that didn't read the book from fulling understanding certain things, but a lot is cleared up in this edition.

Summary: A Great Epic Masterpiece Made Even Better!
Review: I thought there was nothing that could make this movie better. I thought that it would be pointless to buy the extended version because the original was already a masterpiece in my mind.I was wrong.... VERY wrong! "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" special extended version is worth EVERY penny! The thirty additional minutes really enrich the film. More character development is seen and the background story is more clear than ever before. It's almost like seeing the film for the very first time. You start to think to yourself, "How in the world could they have left this out of the movie?" This is how the movie should've been in the first place, but it would've probably been a pain to sit through a 3 and a half hour film in the theatres. I am glad that Peter Jackson took great care in releasing an awesome and impressive DVD set that does the film justice. The picture is outstanding, a lot more crystal clear than the original version, which was already really good. I am also happy to report that the sound is MUCH better! No more will you have to fumble around with the volume control. You can actually hear the talking a lot better. That was a previous complaint of mine with the original version. It would be quiet during the talking scenes, and it would be very loud during the action ones. You were constantly fooling around with the volume controls, which took away some of the enjoyment of watching the film. I can assure you that this is much more impressive. You can also watch it in DTS, which is something to experience if you can. It doesn't stop there. There are two additional disks with bonus materials, such as interviews, sketches, documentaries, and more. Audio commentary is included as well. I thought that the documentaries were highly entertaining and interesting. They are really worth checking out. Very, VERY impressive. I could go on and on, but what's the point? If you loved the original version, get this one as soon as you can. You will not regret it for one second, I assure you. The additional 30 minutes or more really do enrich the movie that much more. You will never go back to the original again, that is for sure. This can very well be the DVD collection you have been waiting for. Don't miss this amazing opportunity. This is "Lord of the Rings" as it should've been. I am very pleased, and I am sure I will never watch the original version ever again. A+ all the way!

Summary: Lord of The Rings
Review: I thought they did an nearly perfect job of puting it on the screen. The only complaint that I had with any of the special affects was is consistency. They used CGI to make the actors playing hobbits shorter. Most of the time they are about the size of an 11 year old, then they will do a father away shot and you will see little people the size of 5 year olds running across the screen. It takes you a moment to realize that those are supposed to be the hobbits from the previous shot. Also, the orcs are not consistent in the way they look. Sometimes they are sort of scrawny with droplet shaped heads. Other times they are big and heavy with squarish, totem shaped heads.
I don't really care for Elijah Wood, but he does an adequate job. Gandalf, Strider, and Bilbo are all played to perfection. The sets are phenominal with the huge, crumbling statues in nearly every scene. The shire is perfect with its squat little hobbit houses. The dark riders ver well done, mysterious and terrifying. The Moria scenes are the very best part of the show, with the Balog chase being utterly breath taking. The biggest problem with the movie is the story itself. I always thought the book that it is based on had problems. The fantasy setting is excellent, the overall backdrop of a dark warlord seeking an artifact to control the world is good too. The scene to scene story, however, is long littany of the characters run here, the characters run there, and it gets very tiresome. It is a long meandering tale, most of which bears no relevance to the rest of the book. You could cut out large sections of it without losing any story. Since this is a very faithful adaptation, nearly all of those long trivial parts are duplicated in the movie. After the Balrog scene is over, I sat there for another hour wishing the movie would hurry up and wrap up. I think it is definitely worth a trip to the movie house, and I will go to see the next two, but I will enjoy them better on DVD when I can watch the good stuff and jump past the boring, long winded parts.

Summary: The Fellowship of the Ring
Review: I thought this film was fantastic! I had already read the books, including the hobbit, about 2 years ago. To tell you the truth, I was preparing myself because I thought it would be a total let down, movie adaptations usually are. But to my great surprise nothing was spared in the making of this amazing film. A huge thanks to Peter Jackson and the cast. Now all I want to know is when this will be released on dvd? Soon I hope!

Summary: A very good transition from book to movie
Review: I thought this movie was absolutly wonderful. I have read all three books and I was rather dissapointed they did not make The Hobbit in to a movie. The movie did a good job of aquainting people who have not read the books to the plot. This is one of the few movies that I was very happy with the transition from book to movie, the effects weren't corny and they agreed well with the book. I would definitly go see this movie again. I can't wait for the second.

Summary: Curt's review
Review: I thought this movie was very good. Although it would be better if they hadn't skipped so much of the book. That is why I gave it a four star rating.
If you are debating seeing the movie I say !GO!
It is very action packed and I would not recomend it for young children. ....

Summary: A reveiw By Tolkien's biggest fan
Review: I thought this was a great movie. The thing I liked most adout it was the apperance of things, such as Khazad-Dum which looks like a Lee drawling(he's the guy who illistrated the book). They really bring Middle-Earth to life! I do wish however there had been more of Tolkens songs, and would have kept in the part about Tom Bombadil ande Goldberry, the river daughter.
I liked the sudden ending alot. Now people will have to read the book to know what happens to Merry and Pippen before next year!
Legolas was GREAT!!!
