Summary: movie of the year
Review: This is proably the best movie I have every scene all year the battle sequences are phenominal the characters are portraied perfect and the overall story is great. There is one thing that I dont really like though is the ending it stops right there. I know there are going to be two more but they could have done a little better on the ending. Other than that this is a movie that is worth buying. I have not seen the DVD yet but the VHS version is really good.

Summary: So awesome
Review: This is probably the best movie in the last 5 years. Fantasy is red hot right now, science fiction is not. Just read Time magazine!

Summary: How to Kill 3.5 hours of your life and not regret it.
Review: This is simple:
-If you are even a casual Tolkien fan, this is nervana.
-If you are a Middle Earth geek, it's time to change your underwear!
-If you can't suspend reallity for even 20 minutes, don't bother.
-If you like extras, this is for you.
-If you didn't read the books, liked the movie, but did not quite get all of it, this will help you understand.
-If you are a busy parent of small children (as am I)it will get frustrating trying to find time to watch it (Until 2 AM!!).
-Well worth [$$] for those who really liked the original.
-I also have the original so that I can actually get to watch it more often.
-This DVD is top quality all around. Sound, picture Etc. not a concern.

Summary: A masterpiece.
Review: This is simply an epic film and I cannot say enough to describe how phenomenal it is. Let me say this first, the movie is not as good as the book (they never are). With that said, however, as far as films go, this one is awesome. Peter Jackson has done an excellent job of staying true to Tolkien's text without being devoted to it to the point of ruining the transition from book to movie. Furthermore, the focus of this movie is where it should be, on Tolkien's wonderful characters. The acting is excellent and the actors cast for the parts are wonderful. Particularly oustanding to me were Sean Bean as Boromir, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Liv Tyler as Arwen, and Elijah Wood as Frodo. The visual and graphical effects and sound are also excellent and really bring Tolkien's amazing world to life. There are just so many details in this movie that mesh perfectly to create an amazing experience. The added scenes in the Platinum Series Extended Edition add so much to this movie. Obviously there are no new plot revelations but the added and extended scenes are wonderful atmospheric touches. In some cases they provide a little more insight into the world of Lord of the Rings and in other cases add a little extra character or plot development. Despite the fact that these scenes add an extra 30 minutes to an already 3 hour movie, they are well worth it and add a lot of extra atmosphere to a film that is already a masterpiece.

Summary: 13 Oscar nominations!!!
Review: This is simply one of the finest, most entertaining films since the glory days of "Star Wars." The last film to give me this kind of buzz was "The Matrix" in 1999. After seeing "The Fellowship of the Ring" I came out of the theater so enthralled and giddy that I went home, called up three of my closest friends, and went out the very same night and saw it a second time. I now own it on DVD and I look forward to so many things, from the special effects to the glorious score, each time I pop it in my player. This movie is a visual feast filled with excellent acting and filmmaking expertise. It won 4 Oscars, but eventually lost out to "A Beautiful Mind" for Best Picture. This should have won all 13 Academy Awards. This is a genuine masterpiece.

Summary: The best movie!
Review: This is the 2nd best movie that I have ever seen(The best being the Two Towers)! it has great effects, and the best plot. It has an excellent cast and Peter Jackson sticks to the story line brilliantly. e cast are all very brilliant in acting ou their roles, they are absolutly superb in their skills. The cast looks and acts exactly as I pictured them in reading the books. I also like that Arwen has a bigger part in this movie, then in the book. I am compltly in love with Legolas, and I can't picture the movie without him. Orlando Bloom is a total babe! And he has a great part in this movie.
