Summary: the coolest movie ever
Review: ok. I dont want to go on and on about how great this movie is, I have been doing that for the past 2 months or so. It is just so awesome. I was 14 when i went to see it, and i went with my friends, some of them saw this movie twice. It is really great. When we left the movie theater - we were surprised that we spent 3 hours in there. The movie does not have any boring moments, it is as close to the book as a movie can probably get. I am reading the books now and everything. But, i dont really think it is a great idea to read the book before seeing the movie, unless you are a huge fan and just want to know how well they were able to put the book on the screen. The story is not confusing, and not reading the book just magnifies the feeling of suspence and excitement because you dont know what is going to occur... IT IS A GREAT MOVIE... some parts are scary... so make sure you go with someone you can hold on to.. It really is great. if you go to the movies once a year - this is the movie to see.

Summary: Great movie, great price.
Review: OK. Serious fans should wait - like I should have. But hey! Its only [money]. The movie is excellent. In some ways it adds life to some characters that the books left flat. It does a better job of pacing than the books, and tells a better story.Don't get me wrong book lovers, I like the books also. Nothing can substitute for the imagination, but the parts the movie left out and other parts that were expanded upon made for a well rounded movie. For example: Tom Bombadil: The ring has no effect on him. This kind of takes away from the ring's 'hype' so to speak. Its an all powerfull ring that the entire fate of middle earth hangs upon, but wait here is one guy that it has no effect over. See what I mean, this takes away from the importance of the ring. And the book's explanation as to why Tom couldn't keep the ring...he'd probably forget about it and lose it one day. Good job movie for leaving this part out! Saruman: The first book didn't give a good enough account about the army he was amassing or what took place between him an Gandalf. And furthermore, you didn't have to wade through one of Gandalf's standard 'I'll tell you what happened there 100 pages from now" speeches. Songs: None! I always skipped over the indented parts of the books. Songs that went on for pages and pages that didn't contribute anything more that 53 new elven names and or locations that were never mentioned again. But it looks like at least one will be in the Nov. edition. It's a good movie and DVD, but I'll probably cave and buy the special edition in Nov. also.

Summary: Why?
Review: Ok.. I loved the movie.. but why would you want this dvd? The way I understand it, just before the next movie comes out, these money grubbers are going to release another DVD of this movie. Only this one will have more extras including 20 minutes or so (not sure the time) bonus footage that was cut. I want the dvd but I think I will wait for the real release.

Summary: The Fellowship of the Rings is terrific
Review: Okay - it wasn't EXACTLY like the book. How could it be? True fans of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy would have sat through a 10 hour movie to see everything that was in the book, especially if it was done as well as the movie. And the movie was terrific. I just hope that all the scenes that were cut out to keep the movie down to the 3 hours and 15 minutes running time are put back in in the DVD and it DOES end up being 5 hours long! There is always the pause button! Peter Jackson and crew did a tremendous job. The New Zealand landscape mirrored what was in the triolgy. I think that the actors really nailed their performances, with Elijah Wood as Frodo, Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn and Sir Ian McKellan as Gandalf just outstanding. The soundtrack is playing as I write this because the music is just beautiful. Enya singing in Elvish isn't doesn't even stretch the imagination. She was born to sing it. My friend Linda and I have seen the movie 3 times and plan to go at least two more times, especially since I keep seeing things that I missed the other times since the detail is so amazing. For you die-hard LOTR fans (Like Linda and I)- sit back and relax and stop nitpicking. Take The Fellowship of the Rings for what it truely is - and outstanding, entertaining and dynamic movie experience.

Summary: I expected more
Review: Okay I love these movies dont get me wrong but I dont think this deserves a 5 star rating neither do any of the other. They are nothing like the book Sam jackson butchord the story. It would have been great if he had called it a remaging instead of lord of the rings. How can any one who has read all 4 books and I do not mean audio books. Even say these movies are close to the book dont get me wrong i loved them and I own them all but not worth a 5 star

Summary: Great Movie, A little frustrated
Review: Okay let me explain myself. The movie is masterful, I have loved the trilogy since I was 13 years old, but the problem with this particular DVD is the fact that you have to buy this one to really find out what is in the special extended DVD release, that will be coming out in November. So what's my beef? Well if I had known what was on the special extended DVD. I would have waited. So now I have spent sixteen bucks on the regular version and now will have to spend another forty bucks to buy the special extended version in November. It would have been nice for the two versions to release at the same time. I want to believe that there is a logical explanation for the delayed release, but unfortunatley I have to believe that the reason for the two different release dates is to make a couple of extra bucks. On the current DVD release they have a great explanation of what will be on the special extended release/director's cut. So all those who are interested in seeing the incredible film uncut and in it's entirety will be forced to fork out around sixty bucks. The movie is great, this attempt (which will succeed) to make an extra buck on a franchise that is growing as rapidly as Star Wars, is not!

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!!! Frodo played by Elijah Wood the star is HOTT!! He is the HOTTEST GUY EVER!! Anyway this Movie is full of everything I WENT TO THE THEATRES SOOOOO MANY TIMES JUST TO SEE IT!!!!!! I CRIED AT THE END!!!!!!!!!! Come on this Movie ROCKS!!! Action, Drama, Comedy, Love, suspense everything a good movie needs!!!
In the Lands of Middle-earth legend tells of the Dark Lord, Sauron, and the Ring that would give him the Power to enslave the world. Lost for centuries it has been sought by many and has now found is way into the hands of the most unlikely person imaginable.

Summary: Gotta See It!
Review: Okay Tolkien Fans... this is it. I must admit that I was hesitant to see this movie - afraid that Peter Jackson and company would ruin the story, and even more, the morals behind it. Well, I saw it on opening day and was pleased beyond belief at this production. The cast is VERY well done..most actors fit perfectly into the character that I believe Tolkien describes; especially Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, and Frodo - MY personal favorites. =D
If you're into intense movies, full of action and adventure, then don't miss out on this one. Although it has a very good plot there are some very graphic images that most likely you wouldn't want your young children to see - such as the Orcs, Balrog, Urak Hai, etc. Not to mention Sauron himself..=)
Anyway, I was very satisfied with this movie, and hope that it'll take attention away from the demonic movie, "Harry Potter". Though Tolkien has created some very evil characters, they're not portrayed as innocent and harmless - quite the contrary from the Sorcerer's Stone where the witchcraft involved is made to look like "fun stuff". "The Lord of The Rings" is definitley full of symbolisms to the Christian faith, though it certainly isn't an allegory. Very cool.
This production is full of breath taking scenery, and wonderful, grasping music. An incredible movie... I just can't describe it well enough. So go see it yourself and you'll know what I mean. You'll come home wanting to defeat all the evils of the world.
God Bless you!

Summary: great for fanatics!
Review: Okay, are you a Lord of the Rings freak? Do you think Peter Jackson has done a remarkable job bringing Tolkien's "trilogy" to the big screen? Do you want to know how he did it? Look no further my friends, the Lord of the Rings Extended Edition is here! For the average fan or casual moviegoer this dvd special is definitely not necessary. You will probably be more than satisfied (and sick of sitting in front of the tv for three hours) with the regular dvd. You need not bother yourselves with this fan nonsense. As for those obsessed with the film or in love with the books, this set is practically a must. Not only does this dvd sport around 30 minutes of (very good) extra footage that will make fans of the books happier, it has two whole discs of behind the scenes footage covering everything from cast to filming to special effects. Sound boring? It isn't. Not to me anyways! This beautifully packaged dvd set is a fan's dream! If you loved it in theaters you will not be disappointed with Jackson's wonderful consideration for fans. Again, the extra footage makes the film more truthful to the book (still no Tom Bombadil I'm afraid though) and the bonus material is quite fascinating if you stop to look at it. Thanks for the treat Peter!

Summary: As Good As Star Wars
Review: Okay, being the total Star Wars geek that I am, that title is blasphemy for me, but never the less its true. I loved the movie and enjoyed it thuroughly. I only have 2 complaints about it: 1) The second time I went to see it the people sitting in front of me wouldnt shut up! 2) People have this preconceived notion that it's a kids movie, which it isnt. Pay attention to the ratings people, it's PG-13 for a reason. If your kid isnt scared easily great, but if they are, dont take them.. the orcs and goblins and ringwraiths and such were just too much for some of the kids that were there.
But back to why the movie's great. The acting is incredible, as are the effects and costumes. They cut out all the boring stuff in the book, it stays entertaining throughout the entire movie, and the setting is absolutely beautiful. This quickly became my favorite movie and it will be hard to wait a whole year for the next one.
