Rating: Summary: AWESOME Review: This movie is nothing compared to the incredible amounts of a** that the entire series kicks, but it still deserves the 5 stars of perfection. If you have any sense in you whatsoever, you will go buy this movie, the soundtrack, and a s***load of merchandise invovling the movie.
Rating: Summary: Wow... Review: This movie is nothing less than superb. I hate fantasy movies, harry potter was [not good]. I entered the theater lenient and feared my money was wasted. I left satisfied and amazed. One of the best movies I have ever seen, in any catagory. The fim contains violence and some images frightening to youngsters. However, it is an epic that i will purchase the day it comes out. highly recommended

Rating: Summary: The Fellowship of the Rings Review: This movie is one of the best DVD's that you can buy. I recommend this movie to anyone and everyone who liked the Lord of the Rings books.
Rating: Summary: One film to rule them all Review: This movie is one of the best examples of modern filmmaking. It has all of the elements that a modern classic should have: good material, a plot-driven script, larger-than-life (or should it be the opposite in the case of the hobbits) characters, and fantastic imagery. In short, epic filmmaking at its finest. Unlike other genre films, "Lord of the Rings" transcends cultural barriers. It doesn't matter whether you're a Tolkien fan or not; it doesn't matter whether you've read the books or not (although you wouldn't be disappointed if you did). You will end up getting involved in the quest to destroy the One Ring, you will learn to dread the Ringwraiths, you will want to see Aragorn defeat the Uruk-hai, you will feel concerned for Gandalf when he battles the Balrog. Tolkien die-hards will probably harp about the deletion of certain characters (Tom Bombadil, for example) and certain scenes and the expansion of Arwen's role. But, overall, there is no significant alteration from Tolkien's work. In any case, Tolkien's style and his penchance for long-winded descriptions, complex linguistic riddles, and genealogies would not have translated well onto celluloid. Having said that, almost everything about the movie is perfect, from the choice of New Zealand as the setting, to the cast selection, to the music. Middle Earth couldn't have been brought to life better than Peter Jackson and company have done. I believe Tolkien would have been proud to see his creation brought to the screen with such passion.

Rating: Summary: Awesome Review: This movie is one of the best I've ever seen. The typical hero's journey even deeper. My favorite scene is the conversation between Gandalf and Frodo when they are temporarily lost in the Mines of Moria. Gandalf says that all we have to decide is what to do with the time we are given. It takes your breath away with it's simplicity and wisdom. I can't wait for The Two Towers, I want to see if Pete can top this awesome and unforgettable movie.
Rating: Summary: A movie about a totally different world Review: This movie is one of the best movies ever. The graphics are good, the story plot is good, the acting was also good. Unfortunelty the ending was a little disappointing. I cant wait for the 2nd part to come out on dvd. I definetly recommend this dvd for those who like movies about magic and wizards.

Rating: Summary: Great Movie! Poor DVD Extras. Review: This movie is one of the best Sci-Fi/Fantasy films around. The characters are well developed along with the story. Although the movie is slightly different than the book (omissions of some characters) it still remains a solid adventure story. Please note that the 3 star rating is for the DVD, not the movie. The disappointing DVD released in August is a let down. It only includes theatrical trailers and some made for television specials as extras. The most aggravating of which was a promo for a better DVD version coming out in November. The extras seemed to be one big commercial for future products, not giving any real insight to the planning, producing, or character development. My advice, borrow the DVD from a friend who got snookered into buying the August version. Wait and buy the November edition which will include more sneaks of the up-coming film along with better commentary.
