Summary: Great Movie, but wait 2 months
Review: This was a wonderful movie and the DVD will be great, but you should wait on buying this movie. In November the "Special Extended DVD Edition of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" will be released. You can see an inside look at this special edition on the list of special features for the Aug. release. Unlike the theatrical version (rated PG-13 @3 hrs.) the special extended version will be a 3 1/2 hour movie (30 mins of deleted scenes put into the movie) and have its rating increased to an R rating. Instead of just 1 disk of special features, this second edition will include 2 disks of special features, making the total set a 4 disk set (with the video and multiple audio tracks the movie will be on 2 disks).

Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: This was a wonderful movie! I read the book, and even though in some parts the movie was a little different from the book, it was a lot closer than I thought it would be. Everything was how you imagined it would be, the hobbits looked like hobbits, the Orcs looked a little too close for my liking, creepy, but how I imagined them. The movie was filled with suspense, and there were so many details, I remembered things I had forgotten from the book. This movie was done so well, I really recomend you to see it.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: This was an awesome movie and if you didn't see it in the theatre well you are forgiven. To redeem yourself go see Two Towers in theatres, but see Star Wars first. This is also a dark film. Darker than you would think, and the acting was the best. Even though it didn't win the oscar for best picture it is the best. The total amout of profit speaks louder than a golden statue A Beautiful Mind. See this movie. Don't rent it, buy it!

Summary: The Best Movie of 2001!
Review: This was an awesome movie! If you didn't see it on the Big Screen see it now! It was Acton Adventure show with great special effects. It stars Elijah Wood as Frodo, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn, and Liv Tyler as Arwen. The story is simple: a small group of hobbits and worriers must save Middle Earth by destroying a ring of power. If you liked Star Wars you will like this movie!

Summary: A Must See Family Movie
Review: This was an awesome movie, don't get me wrong. I mean, I'm almost thirteen years old and this is the kind of stuff that's pretty fun to see. The movie was hyped up way too much though. The special effects were okay and all, but the camera never stayed in the same place for more than three seconds. I thought I was going to be sick from dizziness. I am a huge fan of fantasy films and books and this was a great story putting that aside. I hadnt read the books yet, but I got about 100 pages into it and quit. The movie was definitely better than the book in my perspective. To me, this is a great movie for the whole family to see and it has alot of action to get into. It's just that whole camera thing that got me bored for a while. It took FOREVER for the movie to finally be over, but it was very good and had great acting from Elijah Wood, etc. This is definitely one of those must-see-movies... if you can stand all of the action and movement. It certainly does get my applause. I think the Elves were really cool and my favorite to see. The best part in my view is when Galadriel (either her or the other elf lady) makes the water turn into galloping horses which then cover up the bad guys on the horses who drown before getting to her. Legulas (sp?) and all of the other characters were very entertaining, but the villians looked incredibly fake. A great movie to see as I said, so make sure to take the whole family to this great film.

Summary: Awsome
Review: This was an awsome movie, I usualy dont like things like this and D and D but this was a really good movie that I would recemend to anyone. I think anyone of any age would enjoy this. It has great specail effects and great action! The actors are perfect for their rolls. I think this is the Star Wars of this generation. Though it did prove to be kinda long it was never dull or boring. I really think this is one of the collest movies I have ever seen. It is about a man or hobbet what ever you want to call it or him and he gets a ring full of amazing powers. Now the evil creatures want this ring so they are all hunting after him. I dont know what more to say with out giving the whole thing away. It also doesnt hurt that Liv Tyler looks really, really good in this film!

Summary: Very well done, save a few tidbits
Review: This was an excellent movie, and probably one of the best book to movie relationships. Having read the trilogy at least 10 times, it was great to see the scenes and actors portrayed in real life. For the most part, the acting was very well done, and the scenes were spectacular. The best parts for me were the part at the Ford at Rivendell and the Bridge of Moria. These two must have been the absolute best. My only bone of contention was the very different timeline at the begining of the film. Having Frodo leave immediately after receiving the Ring was not good screenplay, and made the movie feel somewhat rushed. Gandalf's imprisonment didn't seem to fit in and the giving away of Bag End was missed. Though the movie was three hours long, another 25-30 minutes would have been well used. Elrond, played by Hugo Weaving was not a bad player for the part, however he simply didn't seem to be the wise and understanding elf that Elrond portrays. I kept waiting for Elrond to lean over Frodo and say "Mr. Baggins, we've had our eye on you for some time now." in that Agent Smith of the Matrix way. Overall, these and other mistakes can be forgiven by the sheer greatness of the movie. See it.

Summary: The quickest 3 hours I've ever spent.
Review: This was an excellent movie. The casting of Ian McKellen as Gandalf was ingenious! He has the voice to carry the role. Elijah Wood put forth a remarkable (and surprisingly good) performance as Frodo Baggins. Not to knock Mr. Wood, however, I first had my doubts when I learned he was playing the role. They put the emphasis on the areas that needed to make the book-to-screen transition. The effects were were done perfectly to make Hobbits seem smaller than everyone else...
