Summary: Tolkien's mind
Review: of cource this world that tolkien created in about 12 years is very extraordinary but it also is very true if you look at it in a historical way, the movie though is a totally different world with the same charecters and the story itself, but it is a completely different thing and if you start compering the book and the movie you will see thwt eather the book is wrong or the movie because all people think different things. never compare the two, they are both extremely good and that is why the product should have the rating of five. and also not many people have wide screen tv's and full screen is better in many ways because of that.

Summary: One of the best films ever made
Review: Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Rings, explores the themes of love, honor, duty, sacrifice, working together for the greater good, and accepting responsibility. And it does all this with a light touch, not forcing any moral ideals down our throats. The film is truly fabulous to look at, containing some of the most beautifully imagined and created sets and backdrops I have ever seen on screen. We are also treated to the great natural beauty of New Zealand, no small bonus. The battle scenes were well choreographed and acted, the main characters either endearing, intriguing, or both, the Ringwraiths truly terrifying, and the story was laid out for us with just the right mix of horror, humor and drama. I absolutely loved it.

Summary: Amazing Movie, Spectacular Adaption
Review: I was really doubtful at first. I'd just seen Harry Potter and was terrified LOTR would be the same: a movie that so strictly adhered to every minute detail and line of the book that it refused to transform from a bunch of disconnected scenes into a movie. But Peter Jackson's direction couldn't have been more perfect. The movie retained all the original meanings and feelings of the book. A couple scenes vital to the book were noticably, but not irreplacably, absent as the film was kept at the perfect length. In some ways, the film even went beyond the book as the superb acting, amazing music, excellent direction and camera angles, and marvelously used scenery all banded together to focus on the true meaning of the book: the awesome courage of the characters. Every time I watch it (and I've watched it an awful lot) I get this gut-wrenching feeling as I am completely overwhelmed at the ability of the actors to bring such bravery, and somehow such mortality, to their characters. From the first five seconds Jackson completely submerges you in this world where self-sacrifice and loyalty is key to the existence of all it's characters, where magnificent landscapes must be protected from the growing darkness, and where evil takes so many faces. Even having read the books, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Simply an amazing movie, and an even more amazing adaption.

Summary: Lord Of The Rings
Review: I was thoroughly impressed with this movie. It stayed true to many aspects of the book. My favorite being Elijah Wood's portrayal of Frodo. Elijah brings a character that you can grow very near and dear to, and also adds an element of inner turmoil and strife that you don't really catch in the novel. Excellent. Only get 4 stars though, because once again they decided to leave out Mr. Tom Bombadil.

Summary: Good
Review: First of all, as amazing as this was, it was not even CLOSE to the Star Wars trilogy...some who say it was just like Lucas..."playing with his toys" are wrong because the Star Wars trilogy appeals to people of all ages...from grandchildren to grandparents. The LOTR trilogy is not for all audiences.

Summary: Expected nothing less from Peter Jackson
Review: LOTR:FOTR is a movie I first looked like same stuff that has
been released in the past two years for sci-fi: great efforts,
great technological achivements, and a souless performances and
developments. But after the first time I watched I was very
pleased with Peter Jackson's and his crew made for the Tolkien
and non-Tolkien fans.I had read LOTR in highschool and it was a very good sci-fi
book with so much quality attached to it. And though no true
to the book the movie has as much quality as Tolkien's book. Despite all the critics you hear about them (good or bad) both
the book and the movie teach and inspire two great human values:
friendship and loyalty. Peter Jackson (a favorite movie director
of mine) delivers experience no one should miss!

Summary: BEAUTIFUL!
Review: This was a movie-making masterpiece. The cinematography was outstanding, the acting was wonderful, and it stayed true to the books. What more could you ask for? The battle scenes were awesome too! This movie was perfect, and I reccomend that everyone who hasn't seen it, go see it right now. You don't know what you're missing if you don't see it.

Summary: How you can see the power and time put into this movie
Review: In the book The Fellowship of the Ring I found it to be confousing at times and considerably long and time taking. The movie is realistic and powerful It let some partsof the book go, but made up for them with witty and enchantingly frightning scenes. This movie did not add anything that did not desirve to be in it. The scenery was gorgeous and moving...

Summary: My Absolute Favorite Movie!!!
Review: What made this movie my absolute favorite? Well, it's just my type. A group of people (in this case an Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit, etc.) get together on a common quest-- to destroy the symbol of ultimate evil. I love this movie and recommend to anyone 12 and up. The Orcs and other scary elements would be too much for younger kids. I saw the movie first, and then read all the books as well. That made the movie better seeing it after I had read the books too, because you catch something new in it every time.
