Summary: Excellent but leave the kids at home
Review: This is an excellent movie and the only thing that I object is the violence, but that's important for the story to work. Anyways I would not reccomend taking young children under 13, merely because there's some violence and its really not appropriate for young children to see. Not only that but it'll probably frighten and scare most children that are under 13. The plot, costumes, special effects are excellent. Its obvious that its well made, and well acted. Its definately worth seeing and worth spending money for.

Summary: Transcendent
Review: This is an excellent movie. It captures the essence
of Tolkien's masterpiece of heroic myth. I've had it
for one week and have already watched it twice. There
is always something new and fresh about it. Each race
is perfectly represented. It is visually stunning
and emotionally breathtaking. There is a rich undercurrent
of spirituality that gives the heroic adventure story
substance and a sense of transcendence. This movie
captured Tolkien's sense of grace and portrays it
wonderfully.

Summary: There and Back Again
Review: This is an incredible DVD! I purchased the theatrical version in August. I thought it was the most incredible film ever, until I saw the extended version. Now I own both. But the cool thing is, there are new features on this DVD, and not the same as on the first DVD. And, Howard Shore, the composer, composed all new music, just for the extra footage. How cool is that? I would recommend this movie to anyone, and if you like the theatrical version, you'll like this for certain!

Summary: One Of The Greatest Movies EVER!
Review: This is an incredible movie(as if you've been living under a rock all this time...). To illustrate what could have happened I will refer to the travesty that was the animated version. In the 80's at some point somepeople thought to themselves "Lets make a movies out of the lord of the rings". And it was a good idea. But then they thought to themselves "Live action is going to be too hard", so they decided to animate it. Then, one day, they decided "Hey, lets put some live action footage in and rotoscope over it". Then, the last straw, they said "3 movies is too long, lets compress it down to 2". That is a possibility for what could have happened AGAIN. But, thanks to an excellent cast, crew and true vision, they pulled off what was once thought to be impossible... A viable movie version of the trilogy. The only gripe I have is the exclusion of Bombadil, and even that couldn't distract me from the mastery with which this movie was done.

Summary: J R R Would be proud of this
Review: This is an outstanding movie from beginning to end. It stays as true as possible to the original books and is much much more exciting then the original movies that came out. If you are a fan of the books you will become a fan of this movie as the Director insured that every little detail was as he thought JRR would want it to be. So sit back.. enjoy.. and become part of the Middle Earth.

Summary: The best movie of the decade!
Review: This is by far the best film I have seen in the past ten years of my life! I cannot remember a 3-hour film that I have seen in the theatre 3 times being any better! The scenery, characters and customes bring the audience deep inside the mind of Tolkien's world and you are never able to leave! Wonderful performances from Sir Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom and Sean Bean raise this film to the top of my "all-time best movies" list. This is a definate thrill ride and a wonderfully fantastic film that everyone can enjoy and appreciate. See this film in the theatre for the 13 Academy Nominations they well deserved including Best Picture, Cinematography, Custome Design, Sound, Director and much much more! This is the one film I have seen that deserves to win all 13 Oscars! Absolutely Fabulous!

Summary: Best Special DVD Ever
Review: This is by far the best special-feature DVD I've ever seen . There are over 6 hours of behind-the-scenes features and documenteries, not to mention all the included artwork and production photos. Unlike lots of DVDs, the extra footage on this is highly entertaining andit is something you can watch again and again. The actual extended movie is great too. It makes a great companion to the origional. I really hope they bring out one of these for 'The Two Towers' and 'ROTK.'

Summary: A Movie Masterpiece
Review: This is certainly a film worth seeing! Obviously, cuts had to me made, considering the size of the book it was based on, but the movie remains faithful to the book for the most part, and completely retains the spirit. The directing is excellent, and the special effects make the movie believable--whereas an older film would have sadly failed to give a convincing image of this fantasy world.
Elijah Wood is good in the title role, and does well at portraying an innocent Frodo getting thrown into a life of adventure, but Ian McKellan completely takes the cake as Gandalf the wizard. Viggo Mortensen makes for a quiet but combative Aragorn--his fight scenes with the Nazgul on Weathertop and the Uruk-Hai at Amon Hen are stunning. Sean Astin plays Samwise Gamgee to a tee, showing his simplicity, his kindess, and his bravery. Sean Bean, as Boromir, has the role of the character who is the most susceptible to the terrible pull of the One Ring, and he plays this with great skill. Orlando Bloom as Legolas portrays this athletic elf who never runs out of arrows excellently. John Rhys-Davies plays the role of Gimli, a grumpy and hard-fighting dwarf. I could go on, but let me just say that almost all the cast is good.
Peter Jackson, the director of the film, ensures that he has us loving the Shire, fearing the Nazgul, championing Gandalf, applauding Legolas, gasping at Barad-Dur, and spitting all over the hideous orcs.
All in all, quite a film.
