Summary: Perfect for the obsessive Lord of the Rings person
Review: This is a Lord of the Rings groupie's dream. Plus you get a free ticket to the second movie, so it's really a good deal. Beautifully packaged, and full of fascinating stuff.On the half hour of new scenes, I see why they were cut, but it was fun to watch them anyway.

Summary: Love the book? You'll love this movie!
Review: This is a magnificent rendition of the classic book. Watching it though, in all of its beautifully acted glory (at last) I feel quite jaded to its best parts (the ring, the power that corrupts, tiny people with hairy feet, tall black trees, living magic, etc.), and keep droning and dozing off to the actual plot: our heroes rally. Spooky music plays. Bad guys are barely vanquished. Repeat. And repeat again. And again. And again again. Maybe it's just me. But I, me, can no longer believe that I used to love a book that was much like this movie. And the best special effects I've ever seen don't help in any way. To be fair, I must admit that I failed to fall completely asleep at any time while watching this repetitive, pointless, 71-hour-long nonsense. Or for several hours afterward, actually. It does zip along, in the most lasting way.

Summary: Whether you know the books or not...
Review: This is a masterful adaptation of what has for a long time been probably my favourite book. While Peter Jackson wasn't quite true to the plot (which couldn't really be helped), he was in all ways true to the spirit and the themes of JRR Tolkien's masterpiece, which is what really matters. The best Special effects I've ever seen (in that I wasn't sure I was seeing them if you get my drift!) combined with wonderful cinematography, casting, acting and soundtrack, make this an awesome movie in its own right. The performance from Sir Ian MacKellan (Gandalf) was brilliant, he truly was Gandalf to the life. Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Sean Bean (Boromir), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) and Hugo Weaving (Elrond) stood out in much the same way, but even the actors I haven't mentioned were perfectly cast.
Perhaps the biggest star of all though was New Zealand. If Middle Earth exists in this world, New Zealand is it! I'd like to give special mention to the Second Age battle sequence, which blew my mind from the beginning... the feeling of butterflies in ones stomach wasn't a thing I'd expect at the movies, an effect which is lost on the small screen. After six viewings (four in cinemas, once on VHS, once on DVD) this movie is still amongst the best I've ever seen. Peter Jackson has made history... and I feel privileged to have witnessed it.

Summary: Epic Heroic Fantasy
Review: This is a movie that takes you out of the reality of this world and into a startlingly believable world of fantasy...as no movie has before. There are elements of BRAVEHEART and the like here and there, but over all, it bridges the world of reality and the world of fantasy. It didn't seem three hours long to me at all. The sheer imagery and the music had such effect on me that time didn't seem to be elapsing and I was rather surprised when I realized this movie was drawing to a close. The best I can do is say that I personally feel this is the greatest fantasy or science fiction movie I've seen. I know that there are those who will disagree with me. There are changes from the novel and this is necessary, unfortunately, to reach the movie audience. If you will notice, those few movies that cling to the source material generally fail completely to be good movies. This time around, I won't go into great detail. I will say though that this is a movie that everyone should see, if only to satisfy your own curiosity. There's no other way you're going to find out if you like it or not than to go and see it.

Summary: The Lord of the Rings will become a classic!
Review: This is a movie that will be one that will be watch for generations to come. This is absolutely the best movie I have ever seen! If you are into long, detailed films about a fantasy adventure, then this is definitely the one for you. It has every level of excitement possible. The cast was wonderfully put together and worked great with eachother. This is a heavy movie that require your emotions to show. Do you like drama? It has it! Do you like action/adventure? It has it! Do you like comedy? It has it! There is nothing to not like about this movie. If someone says they do not like it, they are either lying or stupid!
