Summary: Strong visuals, acting... so-so script and editing
Review: This movie is great fun. Like many people, I've adored these books since childhood.However, I have several nagging criticisms. First, the film opens with an unnecessarily long exposition in which the ancient history of Middle Earth is told, and a little too bluntly. The necessary background could have been explained more briefly by Gandalf in his Bag End discussion with Frodo, as in the book. Strangely, as if the movie was inexpertly planned from the start, there are points in the film in which it is obvious that significant moments (even whole battles) have been edited out of the film due to its unwieldy length. This throws off the flow of the movie, leaving some moments pregnant with the expectation of events that never occur. And yet, other moments and sentiments that are *not* in the book are inserted. For example, there is a contrived scene on a staircase in Moria, complete with uncomfortably contemporary dwarf-tossing humor. The wizard battle in Sauroman's tower, which is not described in the book, would have been better left to the imagination with a quick cut away to other action. As it stands in this scene, the effects are old, hackneyed and inconsistent with Gandalf's capabilities elsewhere in the story. On the technical side, this film is remarkable in so many ways. The scenery is unbelievable. The attention to detail in the sets and props is, as we have all read, fantastic. The orchestral score is rich and emotive. The only weak spots were a few of the special effects mentioned above and the disappointingly heavy-handed sound design. Frequently, to emphasize powerful moments of magic, voices and dialog became harshly distorted with various effects, to such an extent that the text was sometimes indecipherable. Finally, Jackson tosses in a bit of traditional Hollywood schmaltz that feels disappointingly un-Tolkien. The sugary "empowerment of the little guy" sentiment, the love interest between Arwen and Aragorn, etc. Overall, the movie is gorgeous and powerful, but has the mark of an almost-but-not-quite-at-the-top-of-his-game director whose love of the story exceeds his storytelling craft.

Summary: 'LOTR: FOTR' Special Extended DVD Edition
Review: This movie is great! The Special Extended DVD Edition of 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' goes by the book better than the theatricle version. This DVD is worth owning because of the spectacular special effects, music (score), and acting it has to offer. 'The Fellowship of the Ring' has a good amount of fantasy, action, and adventure in it. I highly recommend that you buy 'The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring' Special Extended DVD Edition! It is a wonderful Oscar-winning movie by director Peter Jackson and his crew.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings
Review: This movie is highly overrated, too long, and boring.
Sometimes you could hardly hear the actors because the music was too loud. I fail to see what's all the fuss it about.
The special features DVD was better than the movie.

Summary: LOTR: FOTR Special Extended VHS Edition
Review: This movie is just plain brilliant! The Special Extended VHS Edition of "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" has thirty extra minutes of wonderful parts from the book trilogy not seen in the theatrical version. In fact the VHS version, which I own, of "The Fellowship of the Ring" has a bonus feature called 'A Day in the Life of a Hobbit' and a preview of "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" (its amazing sequel). "The Fellowship of the Ring" is a very enjoyable fantasy movie to watch! It has spectacular acting, a great plot, and wonderful visual effects. And it also has action/adventure, drama, and romance combined. It goes by the author J.R.R. Tolkiens "The Lord of the Rings" book trilogy, which I have read, very well. Fans of the book trilogy will really enjoy watching "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" Special Extended VHS (or DVD) Edition because it is a wonderful adaptation of the book trilogy. [Product]: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Summary: Stunning!
Review: This movie is just plain magnificent, without a doubt one of the best movies I have ever seen. Anyone who doesn't like this movie is just plain dumb and can't see greatness when it's staring them right in front of their face. I have never read the books all the way through because frankly they bored the heck out of me, but this movie is so much better it's unbelievable. My advice for anyone and everyone is to forget about the books and watch the film instead. You will get so much more out of it this way. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is truly a classic in every sense of the word and deserves a thunderous applause from Heaven.
