Summary: Transfixing
Review: I have never before (well I have but I was a child watching the original Star Wars) been so transfixed by a movie. I've watched fantasy movies, and fantasy books turned into movies, and well, I was transfixed. Enthralled. Drawn in. I went back and saw it again. Then I thought about seeing it a third time. My life is so gray compared to the world of Middle Earth presented in this version of the books. While I would never espouse watching the movie without reading the books, there is no way to put what frodo is thinking, or what sam is thinking, or what quite simply could not fit, into the movie (for example, tom bombadil and the mounds). I was so afraid when I was on Weathertop. I was so upset when our leader died. I was so frightened when one of my friends turned on me. I was so sad when he came to himself and then died. I wasn't watching the movie, either time i saw it. I was living it. I was the fifth hobbit, the third human, the second wizard. I was on the council at Rivendell.... My friends will tell you this is not something that happens to me often (they might say ever). I've never written a Review before. But this movie is to Harry Potter, what Star Wars was to Star Trek. I felt you should know my experience. We have entered a new age of fantasy. I hope we stay here, because I liked it here.

Summary: WOW!!!!!!
Review: I have never read any of Tolken's books not even the Hobbit. But I remember catching the trailer sometime last year and was in anticipation for the movie. The Movie Finally came and I've seen it twice since last Friday. It was the absolutely incredible. I loved the characters and everything else.It was just brilliant. I hope they win tones of oscars.

Summary: Haven't read the book....but can't wait for the Two Towers
Review: I have never read the book, but was intrigued by all the hype. Unlike most movies which have as much hype, Fellowship of the Ring definitely lived up to the hype. Ian McKellen does an incredible job as Gandalf and if anyone thinks Elijah Wood can't act, they got another think coming. The casting was excellent and the effects incredible. Worth seeing over and over and over.....

Review: I have never read the books and so was not that interested in seeing this movie. My husband and son were dead set on going and so I tagged along and I am glad I did - what a movie! I typically do not sit well for three hours in front of anything but the time just flew by and before I knew it my husband is leaning over telling me that there is only 20 minutes left. My response was No-o-o-o-o I don't want to leave Middle Earth until I knew that everything is ok for the little hobbits (I did not realize that this was a trilogy). I cannot get over this movie - the scenery, the acting, the special effects, and of course the storyline is so intriguing that I have plans to see it again this weekend and this is differently a DVD that will be added to our collection. I do not know much about the art of filmmaking but I do know what I like and I like this movie.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings-Fellowship a Triumph!
Review: I have never read the books in the trilogy. This movie is long in length but one would never know it. It is very entertaining! My family & I have seen it a dozen times. It is a very well made movie. We can't wait for the release of 'The Two Towers.'

Summary: Amazing movie!
Review: I have never read the books, but even without them I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole movie. The DVD has added another fan to the Rings trilogy. I especially enjoyed the ten minute preview of The Twin Towers, which was wonderful. I can't wait for the next one!

Summary: Very good
Review: I have never read the Lord of the Rings books (except for The Hobbit), so I wasn't sure what to expect when I watched the movie. It turned out that the movie was very good, but I had trouble understanding what the characters names were. I got the main ideas in what people were saying, but I had a bit of trouble. The acting was great though! I thought the hobbits were especialy good. My favorite part was prob'ly when Aragon(??) had found the hobbits, and the hobbits wanted to stop for 'second breakfast'. All in all, this was a very good movie, and I would recomend it !

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: I have never read Tolkien before, but after seeing this movie I went out and bought the trilogy. This movie not only has great special effects, but it is a great story that will move you in many ways. It left me on the edge of my seat, and I can't wait until the next two movies come out.

Summary: A Stunning Achievement!
Review: I have never seen a movie where I feel the need to watch it again even though it has just finished. It was the same when I read the books as a teenager. I just couldn't get enough of the story and read the books over and over again. Peter Jackson has accomplished what everyone thought was impossible - bringing Tolkien to the screen in a way that does Tolkien justice. I am quite impressed with the DVD version. I purchased it knowing full well that most of the good stuff was probably being saved for the Extended Version. I felt that the picture quality was far superior to the quality of the version I saw in the theatre. There were many places in the movie where I felt it was a bit blurry, and grainy. The picture quality of the DVD was decidedly clearer. And the sound! I can honestly say that my couch was vibrating and the neighbors banging on my door! A great DVD version of a masterfully done movie!

Summary: Best movie of the year, easy. Fantastic in every way.
Review: I have never seen such an engrossing film. Every character was not only believable but excelled even beyond my expectations. The story involves Frodo Baggins and his inheritance of a magic ring (by Bilbo Baggins who found the ring) forged by a dark Lord in a fiery mountain - Mt. Doom. Frodo's life is in constant danger and he must climb to the top of Mt. Doom and throw it into the fiery pit in order to destroy it. The dark Lord's spirit is drawn to the ring - searching for Frodo and his companions to claim it and use its power to send darkness throughout the entire of Middle-Earth. 3 other hobbits, a wizard named Gandalf, en Elf, a dwarf and 2 humans join Frodo as companions to destroy the ring and thus are given the title "Fellowship of the Ring." This movie was unbelieveably excellent in every way. The characters had immeasurable depth and the action sequences were some of the best I've seen in a long time. It uses alot of computer animation and it only complemented, rather than detracted from, the story. I found that I was taken into this world as much as the characters were and it felt like I was walking with them as they ventured throughout Middle-Earth. The monsters in the film are quite nasty and this is why the movie received a PG-13 rating - I wouldn't recommend young children seeing this movie. I will admit I've never read any of Tolkien's books but this movie has me very intrigued. The length of the film is 3 hours but you'd never know it - it felt like a 2 hour film or less! I cannot think of any drawbacks in this film - not a single thing. This movie is beyond excellent and will be an instant classic - it's a diamond in the rough.
