Summary: Follows the Book Very Well
Review: Although this movie was a bit long it was worth all the time. It follows the book very well and was just how I had pictured it when reading the book. Many directors could learn from this film and follow the books they are portraying more closly. This was a great way to spend an afternoon in my book.

Summary: lord of the movies
Review: Amazing. I don't know anythinhg about the lord of the rings I just went to see this movie to see what all the hype was about. Phenomenal. Unbelievable.amazing. This movie is filled with some amazing imagery and some uncanny ideas, I'll tell you right now anyone who doesn't like this movie doesn't have an imagination, and trust me, every person I've met that doesn't like this movie doesn't have an imagination, and are a bunch of know it alls. Well I can't wait for the next two sequels. As my friend said there's alot of deep ideas that need medidating upon, rather that the garbage comedies hollywood put out year after year, I don't need movies to make me laugh, everyday is a riot at work with my employees and friens and family, but I love to talk to them about new ideas in the world and the Lord of the rings is chock full of ideas about good and evil, temptation, integrity, yeah it's a good movie and those who do nothing but complain about it have nothing better to do.

Summary: Stupendous Film!
Review: An absolute marvel to watch. I felt everything was perfect; characters, actors, special effects, cinematography, scenery, etc, etc. Looking back in retrospect, perhaps character development was lacking, but I believe the timelessness and excitement of the story made up for that. I just can't believe the people who say they were bored with the repetition of fight scene after fight scene, not to mention all of the carnage. What carnage? I mean, of course, there were many battles between good and evil and many creatures killed, but I saw none in such a graphic and horrific way. No spewing of blood, no flying of guts, no people left in pain and agony to die horrible deaths. If you want to see graphic carnage, try 'Saving Private Ryan' or 'The Thin Red Line.' Those were films with massive amounts of grotesque and violent death, not to mention an endless repetition of the same theme...(some good guys fight the bad guys, then move on, then fight the bad guys, then move on, then fight the bad guys, etc, etc.) Honestly, I do remember leaning over to my boyfriend when the Fellowship was in the Mines of Moria fighting the ancient demon and whispered, "How many evil creatures are they going to fight?" I didn't say it out of a sense of boredom or urge for the movie to continue forward; I merely felt sorry for the characters. I mean, wasn't it bad enough just to go to Mordor without having to worry about battling every other demonic figure on the way there? Finally, I can't stand the way people here are so narrow-minded to say that the movie sucked because there was no ending. Duh! The movie is part of a trilogy, so of course it doesn't really "end" yet! I admit, I was disappointed about it though (only because I have to wait a year to see the second part). All in all, it was an absolutely fabulous movie, one of the best I've ever seen! A definite DVD buy for me!

Summary: An Amazing Adventure
Review: An amazing good vs evil adventure. The hours flew by, I was totally immersed in every scene, the scenery was beautiful right down to Bilbos front door. I wish they would have included Tom Bombadil in the movie somehow though. You gotta read the book again before you see the movie. The transformation from book to screen was wonderfully done.

Summary: All for a ring...
Review: An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf, Legolas the elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry, Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign!So much for the tale that sounds like the ones we knew when in kindergarten. The Lord of the Rings is a true modern classic. I can, without the least doubt, call it one of the top 20 movies of all time. This one will keep you glued, and will make you want to watch it over and over again.

Summary: A True Epic
Review: An epic in the making!!! If you aren't totally drawn into the whole story of the Ring, one can't help but to be blown away by the look of the entire movie. It is quite amazing. The sets and the landscapes are nothing less than breathtaking. The great thing about this DVD was all the extras that went along with it. The commentaries are great, and the documentaries about the movie itself will blow your mind as much as the movie itself. I highly recommend this movie.
